Certain States and Jurisdictions require that engine driven equipment be
fitted with spark arresting mufflers. Depending on the generator model,
spark-arresting mufflers may or may not be fitted. If spark-arresting
mufflers are required for your location and the generator muffler is not
spark arresting, contact your local dealer for instructions for a retrofit.
