under California Law and under the
laws of several other states, you are not
permitted to operate an internal com-
bustion engine using hydrocarbon fuels
on any forest covered, brush covered or
grass covered land or on land covered
with grain, hay or other flammable ag-
ricultural 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 combustion engine that burns gaso-
line (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
