4. Spark arrester service (Equipped type)
If the engine has been running, the muffler will be very hot, be careful not to
touch the muffler.
The spark arrester must be serviced every 100 hours to keep it functioning as
designed.
1. Loosen the flange bolt with a hex wrench (see page 49).
2. Remove the top cover, sliding it to the left (see page 49).
Do not pull the starter grip and start the engine without the top cover.
There are rotating and hot parts under the cover.
3. Remove the 4 mm screws from the spark arrester, and remove the spark
arrester from the muffler.
