known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm.

This unit is equipped with an internal combustion engine and should not be used on or near any unimproved
forest-covered, brush-covered, or grass-covered land unless the engine’s exhaust system is equipped with a
spark arrester meeting applicable local or state laws (if any).  If a spark arrester is used, it should be main-
tained in effective 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 to federal lands.  A spark arrester muffler
may be available.
