1.2 EmISSIoN INFoRmaTIoN
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 Owner/Operator’s manual uses this symbol to alert
you of potential hazards. Whenever you see this symbol,
read and obey the safety message that follows it. Failure
to obey the safety message could result in personal injury,
death or property damage.
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.
