CAUTION TO UNITED STATES CUSTOMERS:
If this engine is not equipped with a spark arrester and is to be used on any forest
covered, bush covered, or grass covered unimproved land, before using on such
land a spark arrester must be added to the muffler. The 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
Authorised Briggs & Stratton Service Centre for spark arrester muffler options.
