Laws Pertaining to Spark Arrestors
Notice: State Health Safety Codes and Public
Resources Codes specify that in certain locations spark
arrestors be used on internal combustion engines that
use hydrocarbon fuels. A spark arrestor is a device
designed to prevent accidental discharge of sparks or
flames from the engine exhaust.
For users on U.S. Forest Land and in the states of
California Maine, Oregon and Washington: All U.S.
Forest Land and the state of California (Public
Resources Codes 4442 and 4443), Oregon and Wash-
ington require, by law, that certain internal combustion
engines operated on forest brush and/or grass-covered
areas be equipped with a spark arrestor, maintained in
effective working order or that the engine be
constructed, equipped and maintained for the preven-
tion of fire. Check with your state or local authorities for
regulations pertaining to these requirements. Failure to
follow these requirements could subject you to liability
or a fine. This unit is factory designed to be equipped
with a spark arrestor. If you require a spark arrestor, ask
