WARNING TO OWNERS IN 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 mufflers on the 390cc Honda engines and
725cc Kohler engines are equipped with a spark arrester.
The standard mufflers installed on 670cc Honda engines
and 570 Briggs & Stratton engines are not equipped with
a spark arrester. One must be added before use if the
670cc and 570cc machines are 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.
