SPARK ARRESTER (applicable types)
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.
Spark Arrester Removal
1. Loosen the socket bolt, then remove the top cover.
2. Remove the 4×6 mm self-tapping screws from the spark arrester, and
remove the spark arrester and exhaust filter (UMC435 only) from the
muffler.
Exhaust Filter Cleaning & Inspection (UMC435 only)
Pinch the exhaust filter, and strike it lightly with a finger, to remove
carbon deposits. Be careful not to strike it too hard. The exhaust filter
must be free of breaks and holes. If it is damaged or fouled excessively,
replaced it.
