MUFFLER AND SPARK ARREST-
ING SCREEN
WARNING:
The muffler on this prod-
uct contains chemicals known to the State of
California to cause cancer.
As your unit is used, carbon deposits build up
on the muffler and spark arresting screen. For
normal homeowner use, however, the muffler
and spark arresting screen will not require
any service.
After 50 hours of use, we recommend that
your muffler be serviced or replaced by your
authorized service dealer.
