SPARK ARRESTER (optional equipment)
In Europe and other countries where the machinery directive
2006/42/EC is enforced, this cleaning should be done by your
servicing dealer.
Your engine is not factory-equipped with a spark arrester. The
spark arrester is optional part. In some areas, it is illegal to operate
an engine without a spark arrester. Check local laws and
regulations. A spark arrester is available from authorized Honda
servicing dealers.
The spark arrester must be serviced every 100 hours to keep it
functioning as designed.
If the engine has been running, the muffler will be hot. Allow it to
cool before servicing the spark arrester.

STORING YOUR ENGINE

Storage Preparation
Proper storage preparation is essential for keeping your engine
trouble-free and looking good. The following steps will help to keep
rust and corrosion from impairing your engine's function and
appearance, and will make the engine easier to start when you use
it again.
Cleaning
If the engine has been running, allow it to cool for at least half an
hour before cleaning. Clean all exterior surfaces, touch up any
damaged paint, and coat other areas that may rust with a light film
of oil.
Using a garden hose or pressure washing equipment can force
water into the air cleaner or muffler opening. Water in the air
cleaner will soak the air filter, and water that passes through the
air filter or muffler can enter the cylinder, causing damage.
Fuel
Turn the fuel valve to the CLOSED or OFF position.
Engine Oil
1. Change the engine oil (see page 6).
2. Remove the spark plugs (see page 8).

cylinders.
