WARNING

GAS ENGINES MAY REQUIRE A SPARK ARRESTER

If the engine on this machine is not equipped with a spark arrester and is to be used on any forest, brush, or grass-covered unimproved land, a spark arrester must be added to the muffler before using the engine on such land. The spark arrester must 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. See your authorized engine service center for muffler spark arrester options.
