Maintenance
Inspect Muffler And Spark Arrester
Inspect the muffler and the spark arrester (if equipped)
every 50 hours. If muffler is equipped with a spark arrester
screen, remove the screen for inspection. Replace the
screen if damaged or plugged. If inspection determines that
replacement parts are required, make sure to use only
original equipment replacement parts.
WARNING
Fire could result.
• Replacement parts must be the same and installed in
the same position as the original parts.
