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 flam-
mable agricultural crops,
without an engine spark
arrester in continuous ef-
fective working order.
the engine on your power
equipment, like most out-
door power equipment, is
an internal combustion engine that burns gasoline (a hydrocar-
bon fuel). therefore, your power equipment must be equipped
with a spark arrester muffler in continuous effective working or-
der. 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.
