A
WARNING TO ALL CALIFORNIA AND OTHER POWER EQUIPMENT OPERATORS
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 en­
gine 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 at­
tached to the engine exhaust system in such a manner that flames or heat from the system will not
ignite flammable material. Contact your authorized engine dealer for information about obtaining a
spark arrester. 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 regula­
tions, laws, ordinances, or codes. Contact your local fire marshal or forest service for specific infor­
mation about what regulations apply in your area.
