CALIFORNIA 
Proposition 
65 Warning

Engine exhaust, some of its constituents, and certain vehicle components, contain 
or emit chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer and birth 
defects or other reproductive harm.

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 dis-
charge 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.
