1.2 emIssIon InFormaTIon
under california
law and 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 combustion engine that
burns gasoline or diesel fuel (hydrocarbons). 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 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.
