Maintenance
■ MUFFLER
• Inspect periodically, the muffler for loose
fasteners, any damage or corrosion. If any
sign of exhaust leakage is found, do not
use the trimmer and have it repaired
immediately.
• Note that failing to do so may result in
the engine catching on fire.
WARNING
■ SPARK ARRESTER
• The muffler is equipped with a spark
arrester to prevent red hot carbon from
flying out of the exhaust outlet. Periodically
inspect and clean as necessary with a wire
brush. In the State of California it is
required by law (Section 4442 of the
California Public Resources Code) to equip
a spark arrester when a gas powered tool
is used in any forest covered, brush
covered, or grass covered unimproved
land.
