WARNING
GAS ENGINES MAY REQUIRE A SPARK ARRESTER
If the engine on this machine is not equipped with a
spark arrester and is to be used on any forest, brush, or
grass-covered unimproved land, a spark arrester must
be added to the muffler before using the engine on such
land. The spark arrester must be maintained 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 on federal lands.
See your authorized engine service center for muffler
spark arrester options.
IMPORTANT: The figures and illustrations in this manual are provided for reference only and
may differ from your specific model. Contact your authorized dealer if you have questions.
