Poulan PT7000 - Manual (Page 10)

SPARK ARRESTOR
This unit is not equipped with a
temperature limiting muffler and spark
arresting screen which meets the re­
quirements of California Codes 4442
and 4443. All U.S. forest land and the
states of California, Idaho, Maine, Min­
nesota, New Jersey, Oregon, and
Washington require by law that many
internal combustion engines to be
equipped with a spark arrestor screen.
If you operate in a locale where such
regulations exist, you are legally re­
sponsible for installing and maintaining
the operating condition of these parts.
Failure to do so is a violation of the
law. If a spark arrestor is required in
your area, contact your Authorized
Service Dealer for the proper kit.
