SAFETY

1

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

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.
