MAINTENANCE AND LUBRICATION
Spark Arrestor
The exhaust pipe must be periodically purged of accumulated carbon as
follows. Use the following procedure.
Do not perform this operation immediately after the engine has
been run. Exhaust system temperatures can reach 1000
°
F.
Because of the increased fire hazard, make sure 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. The exhaust contains
poisonous carbon monoxide gas.
Do not go under the machine while it is inclined.
Failure to heed these warnings could result in serious personal injury
or death.
WARNING
1. Remove the arrestor
clean-out plugs (1)
located on the bottom of
the muffler.
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 parking brake and block the wheels.
Make sure the machine is in neutral and repeat steps 2 and 3.
NOTE:
See WARNING above
