SPARK ARRESTING MUFFLER
Certain States and Jurisdictions require that engine driven
equipment be fitted with spark arresting mufflers. Depending
on the generator model, spark-arresting mufflers may or
may not be fitted. If spark-arresting mufflers are required for
your location and the generator muffler is not spark
arresting, contact your local dealer for instructions for a
retrofit.
SPARK ARRESTER
If the product will be used around flammable materials, such as
agricultural crops, forests, brush, grass, or other similar items,
then an approved spark arrester should be installed and is
legally required in the State of California. The California

and 4443. Spark Arresters are also required on some U.S.
Forest Service land and may also be legally required under
