Replacing the Spark Arrestor
See Figure 17.
WARNING:
Check for fuel leaks. A leaking fuel cap is a re
hazard and must be replaced immediately. If
you nd any leaks, correct the problem before
using the product. Failure to do so could result
in a re that could cause serious personal injury.
Note: Depending on the type of fuel used, the type and
amount of lubricant used, and/or your operating conditions,
the exhaust port, mufer, and/or spark arrestor screen may
become blocked with carbon deposits. If you notice a power
loss with your gas powered tool, you may need to remove
these deposits to restore performance. We highly recom-
mend that only qualied service technicians perform this
service.
The spark arrester may need to be replaced after repeated
use. If replacement is necessary, use Toro part number
000998216.
To replace the spark arrester:
1. Remove the ve screws that hold the cover.
Note: Removing these screws requires the use of a T20
and T25 torx screwdriver.
2. Remove the cover.
3. Remove the two screws holding the mufer assembly in
place.

6. Remove the three screws that hold the plates on the
