MUFFLER AND SPARK ARREST- ING SCREEN

WARNING: The muffler on this prod- uct contains chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer.

WARNING: Muffler is very hot during and after use. Do not touch the muffler or al- low combustible material such as dry grass or fuel to do so.

As your unit is used, carbon deposits build up on the muffler and spark arresting screen. For normal homeowner use, however, the muffler and spark arresting screen will not re- quire any service.

After 50 hours of use, we recommend that your muffler be serviced or replaced by your authorized service dealer.
