WARNING TO OWNERS IN CALIFORNIA AND
OTHER STATES OPERATING OUTDOOR POWER
EQUIPMENT
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 crop,
without an engine spark arrester in continuous effective
working order.
The engine on your power equipment, like most outdoor
power equipment, is an internal combustion 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 arrester
must be attached to the engine exhaust system in such a
manner that flames or heat from the system will not ignite
flammable material.
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
what regulations apply in your area.
The standard mufflers on the 390cc Honda engines and
725cc Kohler engines are equipped with a spark arrester.
The standard mufflers installed on 670cc Honda engines
and 570 Briggs & Stratton engines are not equipped with a
spark arrester. One must be added before use if the 670cc
and 570cc machines are intended to be used 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.
