Clean Spark Arrester Screen
If you use your trash pump on any forest-covered, brush-
covered, or grass-covered unimproved land, it must have a
spark arrester. The spark arrester must be maintained in
good condition by the owner/operator. A spark arrester is
available from your nearest qualified service center.The spark
arrester must be serviced every 50 hours to keep it
functioning as designed.
If the engine has been running, the muffler will be very hot.
Allow the muffler to cool before servicing the spark arrester.
WARNING
Contact with muffler area can result in serious
burns.
Exhaust heat/ gases can ignite combustibles,
structures or damage fuel tank causing a fire.
• DO NOT touch hot parts and AVOID hot exhaust gases.
• Allow equipment to cool before touching.
• Keep at least 5 feet (1.5 m) of clearance on all sides of trash
pump including overhead.
1. Remove spark arrester screen for cleaning and inspection.
2. Inspect screen and replace if torn, perforated or
otherwise damaged. DO NOT use a defective screen. If
screen is not damaged, clean it with commercial solvent.
3. Reattach spark arrester screen to muffler.
Air Cooling System
Over time debris may accumulate in cylinder cooling fins and
cannot be removed without partial engine disassembly. For
this reason, we recommend you have an authorized Briggs &
Stratton service dealer clean the cooling system (H) per
recommended intervals (see Maintenance Schedule in
beginning of Maintenance section). Equally important is to
keep top of engine free from debris. See Clean Debris.
Check Valve Clearance (Model 073024 Only)
Regular valve clearance check and adjustment will improve
performance and extend engine life. This procedure cannot
be done without partial engine disassembly and the use of
special tools. For this reason we recommend that you have
an authorized dealer check and adjust valve clearance at
250 hours or as recommended (see Maintenance Schedule in
the Maintenance section).
