NOTICE OF REQUIREMENT OF SPARK ARRESTER MUFFLER

This equipment may create sparks that can start fires around dry vegetation. California Public Resources Code

working order. A spark arrester is a device constructed of nonflammable materials specifically for the purpose of
removing and retaining carbon and other flammable particles over 0.0232 of an inch in size from the exhaust flow of
an internal combustion engine that uses hydrocarbon fuels or which is qualified and rated by the United States

Agencies For Laws or Regulations Relating to Fire Prevention Requirements. THIS EQUIPMENT DOES NOT HAVE
A SPARK ARRESTER AND YOU SHOULD CONTACT YOUR AUTHORIZED DEALER FOR THE PURCHASE OF
A SPARK ARRESTER.

Inspect spark arrester daily; replace every 500 hours or as needed.
