crops, without an engine spark arrester in continuous
effective working order.
the engine on your power equipment, like most outdoor
power equipment, is an internal combustion engine that
burns gasoline or diesel fuel (hydrocarbons). Therefore,
your power equipment must be equipped with a spark
arrester muffler in continuous effective working order. The
spark arrester must be attached to the engine exhaust
system in such a manner that flames or heat from the
system will not ignite flammable material.
Failure of the owner/operator of the equipment to comply
with this regulation is a misdemeanor under California law
and may also be a violation of other state and/or federal
regulations, laws, ordinances, or codes. Contact your
local fire marshal or forest service for specific information
about which regulations apply in your area.
The standard muffler installed on the engine is not
equipped with a spark arrester. one must be added
before using this machine in an area where a spark
arrester is required by law. Contact the local authorities
if these laws apply to you. See your authorized engine
dealer for spark arrester options.
