SPARK ARRESTER
Some federal, state or local laws may require that gasoline or diesel engines be equipped with exhaust spark arresters when they are operated in certain loca- tions where unarrested sparks may present a fire haz- ard. The standard muffler included with this welder does not qualify as a spark arrester. When required by local regulations, a suitable spark arrester must be installed and properly maintained.
CAUTION
An incorrect arrester may lead to damage to the engine or adversely affect performance. Contact the engine manufacturer for specific recommendations.
