Failure of the owner/operator of the equipment to comply with this regulation is a misdemeanor under California law and may also be
a violation of other state and/or federal regulations, laws, ordinances, or codes. Contact your local fire marshal or forest service for
specific information about which regulations apply in your area.
The standard muffler installed on the engine is not equipped with a spark arrester. One must be added before using this
machine in an area where a spark arrester is required by law. Contact the local authorities if these laws apply to you. See your
authorized engine dealer for spark arrester options.
PN 18280-00 R041306
under California Law and under the laws of several other states, you are not permitted to operate
an internal combustion engine using hydrocarbon fuels on any forest covered, brush covered
or grass covered land or on land covered with grain, hay or other flammable agricultural crops,
without an engine spark arrester in continuous effective working order.
The engine on your power equipment, like most outdoor power equipment, is an internal com-
bustion engine that burns gasoline (a hydrocarbon fuel). Therefore, your power equipment must
be equipped with a spark arrester muffler in continuous effective working order. The spark ar-
rester must be attached to the engine exhaust system in such a manner that flames or heat from
the system will not ignite flammable material.
