CAUTION
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.
Federal, state, and local laws may prohibit the operation
of 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 arrestor in continuous
effective working order.
The engine on your power equipment,
like most outdoor power equipment,
is an internal combustion engine that burns gasoline
or diesel fuel (hydrocarbons). If operating your power
equipment in affected areas, it must be equipped with a
spark arrestor in continuous effective working order. The
spark arrestor 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 federal, state, and local laws may subject him or her
to fines and/or other penalties. 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 spark
arrestor capable. Spark arrestors require regular
maintenance. See the Service & Maintenance section of
this manual for more information.
Contact local fire authorities for laws or regulations
regarding fire prevention requirements.
