2.1 Laws Pertaining to Spark Arresters
Notice: State Health Safety Codes and Public Resources Codes specify that in certain
locations spark arresters be used on internal combustion engines that use
hydrocarbon fuels. A spark arrester is a device designed to prevent accidental
discharge of sparks or flames from the engine exhaust. Spark arresters are qualified
and rated by the United States Forest Service for this purpose.
In order to comply with local laws regarding spark arresters, consult the engine
distributor or the local Health and Safety Administrator.
