sparK arrester
Some federal, state or local laws may require that gasoline or
diesel engines be equipped with exhaust spark arresters when
they are operated in certain locations where unarrested sparks
may present a fire hazard. The standard muffler included with this
welder does not qualify as a spark arrester. When required by local
regulations, a suitable spark arrester, such as the K1898-1 must
be installed and properly maintained.
WARNING
An incorrect spark arrestor may lead to damage to the
engine or adversely affect performance.
