1. Examine the muffler for defects and damages.
2. Make sure that the muffler is correctly attached to the product.
   
3. If your product has a special spark arrestor screen, clean this screen weekly.
4. The spark arrestor is located on the muffler. Remove the cover and once it is off, remove the spark arrestor.
5. During inspection, make sure that the spark arrestor is intact and there are no rips and holes in it. Also, make sure that there is no excessive carbon buildup. Any carbon buildup it will make your leaf blower run at a lower RPM and the product will not be able to breathe properly.
6. Clean the carbon buildup from the spark arrestor with the wire brush.
7. Once the spark arrestor is clean, put it back in place.
   

Husqvarna recommends that the spark arrestor is cleaned after every 50 hours of operation.
