MUFFLER DEFLECTOR
The POWER-ARC 4000, depending on model, may or
may not be shipped with an exhaust deflector. If you
received one, you can mount it on the gasoline
engine if your needs so require.
To install the deflector, do the following:
• Align the holes on the deflector plate with the holes
on the muffler.
Position the deflector so that the opening points either
right, left, or downward, away from the operator.
Never position the deflector upward. Moisture or
debris can enter the engine and damage it. As a
general safety practice, position the deflector to
direct exhaust gases away from the operator’s
face and eyes.
• Fasten the deflector onto the muffler with the
screws provided.
NOTE: The deflector reduces generator output
power up to 100 watts.
SPARK ARRESTER
Gasoline engine mufflers may emit sparks when the
engine is running. Some federal, state, or local laws
require spark arresters in locations where unarrested
sparks could present a fire hazard.
Standard mufflers and deflectors (like the ones
included with the POWER-ARC 4000 Briggs &
Stratton engines) do not act as spark arresters. When
local laws require it, a spark arrester must be installed
on the machine and properly maintained
.
An optional spark arrester kit is available for your
POWER-ARC 4000 Briggs & Stratton 8 HP Kool-Bore
engine. See the ACCESSORIES section of this man-
ual for more information.
An incorrect spark arrester may lead to damage to
the engine or reduce performance. A suitable
spark arrester for the Briggs & Stratton 8 HP Kool
Bore
®
engine is available as a Lincoln field-
installed option.
A spark arrester is available for your POWER-ARC
4000 Briggs & Stratton 9 HP Vanguard engine from
your local Briggs & Stratton engine dealer.
The Power-Arc 4000 with the Honda engine comes
with a spark arrester as standard equipment. Refer to
the engine owner’s manual for proper maintenance.
