SaFETY

under California law and 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 crops,
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 or diesel fuel (hydrocarbons). 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
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.
