IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING
WARNING
•
To prevent personal injury or property damage, do not attempt to start engine until all assembly
steps are complete and you have read and understand the safety and operating instructions in this
manual.

Under California law, and under laws of several other states, you are not permitted to operation
internal combustion’s engine using hydrocarbon fuels on any forest covered, brush covered, or
grass covered land, or on land with grain, hay, or other flammable agricultural crop, 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, a
hydrocarbon fuel. Therefore, your power equipment must be quipped 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 what regulations apply in your area.
