Telemetry (If Equipped)

The digital telemetry option allows the operator to
remotely monitor the unit fuel level (depending on the
type of telemetry selected, and other optional equip-
ment). A transmitter inside the engine compartment
sends real time equipment status information to the user
via cellular or satellite connection.

Spark Arrester (If Equipped)

A spark arrester, installed on the unit exhaust, may be
required by code in certain municipalities. Contact the
local authority having jurisdiction to determine whether or
not a spark arrester must be installed on the unit before
operation.
