under California law and the laws of several other states,
you are not permitted to operate 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 arrester 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).
Therefore, your power
equipment
must
be
equipped with a spark
arrester
muffler
in
continuous
effective
working order. The spark arrester 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 this regulation is a misdemeanor under California law
and may also be a violation of other state and/or federal
regulations, laws, ordinances, or codes. 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 not equipped
with a spark arrester. One must be added before using
this machine in an area where a spark arrester is required
by law. Contact the local authorities if these laws apply to
you. See your authorized engine dealer for spark arrester
options.
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.
