SPARK ARRESTER
Some federal, state or local laws may require petrol
engines to be equipped with exhaust spark arresters
when they are operated in certain locations where
unarrested sparks may present a fire hazard. The
standard muffler included with this machine comes
equipped with a spark arrester.
An incorrect additional arrester may lead to dam-
age to the engine or adversely affect performance.
