SPARK ARRESTOR
WARNING
Any equipment equipped with an internal combustion
engine should not be used on or near any unimproved
forest-covered, brush covered or grass-covered land
unless the engine’s exhaust system is equipped with a
spark arrestor meeting applicable local or state laws (if
any).
If a spark arrestor is used, it should be maintained in
effective working order by the operator. In the State of
California the above is required by law (Section 4442 of
the California Public Resources Code). Other states may
have similar laws. Federal laws apply on federal lands.
A spark arrestor for the muffler is available through your
nearest engine authorized service dealer or contact the
service department, P.O. Box 361131 Cleveland, Ohio
44136-0019.
