It is a violation of California Public Resource Code

forest-covered, brush-covered, or grass-covered
land without a spark arrester muffler maintained in
working order, or the engine constricted, equipped,
and maintained for the prevention of fire. Other states
or federal areas may have similar laws.

federal regulations requiring that a spark arrester be
used on the engine of this machine, a spark arrester is
available as an option. If you require a spark arrester,
contact your Authorized Service Dealer. Genuine Toro
spark arresters are approved by the USDA Forestry
Service.
