Spark Arrestor Maintenance (If Equipped)

Spark arrestor assemblies include a screen element which should be inspected and cleaned periodically. Visually inspect the screen for tears, broken wires, or loose welds. Replace the spark arrestor assembly if any of these conditions exist. If the screen is determined to be intact and in good condition, proceed with cleaning the screen by brushing away loose dirt or carbon.
