DanGer
under California Law and under the laws of several
other states, you are not permitted to operate an internal
combustion engine using hydrocarbon fuels on any forest
covered, brush covered or grass covered land or on land
covered with grain, hay or other flammable agricultural
crops, without an engine spark arrester in continuous ef-
fective working order.
The engine on your power equipment, like most outdoor
power equipment, is an
internal combustion en-
gine that burns a hydro-
carbon fuel. Therefore,
your power equipment
must be equipped with
a spark arrester muf-
fler in continuous effec-
tive 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 be-
fore 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.
