Spark Arrestor

WARNING: 

This machine is equipped with an 

internal combustion engine and should not be used

working order by the operator. In the State of California the 

above is required by law (Section 4442 of the California Public 

Resources Code). Other states may have similar laws. Federal laws 

apply on federal lands.
