WARNING TO ALL CALIFORNIA AND OTHER STATES
OPERATING OUTDOOR POWER EQUIPMENT
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 crop,
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, a hydrocarbon fuel. 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
what regulations apply in your area.
The standard muffler installed on the engine is not equipped
with a spark arrester. One must be added before use if this
machine is intended to be used 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.
