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-cov­
ered, 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 continu­
ous 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 ig­
nite flammable material. Failure of the owner/operator of the equipment to com­
ply 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. Contact your authorized engine dealer for in­
formation about obtaining a spark arrester.
