Exhaust Pipe
The exhaust pipe must be periodically purged of
accumulated carbon as follows:
WARNING
* Do not perform clean-out immediately after the engine
has been run, as the exhaust system becomes very
hot. Serious burns could result from contact with hot
exhaust components.
* To reduce fire hazard, make sure that there are no
combustible materials in the area when purging the
spark arrestor.
* Wear eye protection.
* Do not stand behind or in front of the vehicle while
purging the carbon from the spark arrestor. Never run
the engine in an enclosed area.
* Exhaust contains poisonous carbon monoxide gas.
* Do not go under the machine while it is inclined. Set
the hand brake and block the wheels to prevent roll
back.
Failure to heed these warnings could result in serious
personal injury or death.
1. Remove the clean out plugs located on the bottom of
the muffler as shown
2. Place the transmission in neutral and start the
engine. Purge accumulated carbon from the system
by momentarily revving the engine several times.
3. If some carbon is expelled, cover the exhaust outlet
and rap on the pipe around the clean out plugs while
revving the engine several more times.
4. If particles are still suspected to be in the muffler,
back the machine onto an incline so the rear of the
machine is one foot higher than the front. Set the
hand brake and block the wheels. Make sure the
machine is in neutral and repeat Steps 2 and 3. See
‘WARNING’.
