SAFETY

1.1 SAFETY ALERT SYMBOL

The Owner/Operator’s manual uses this symbol to alert you of potential hazards. Whenever you see this symbol, read and obey the safety message that follows it. Failure
to obey the safety message could result in personal injury,
death or property damage.
CAUTION
Indicates a potentially hazardous situation that, if not
avoided, may result in minor or moderate injury.

1.2 EMISSION INFORMATION

Under California Law and the laws of several other states, you are not permitted to operate an internal combustion engine using hydrocarbon fuels on any forest covered, brush covered or grass covered land or on land
covered with grain, hay or other ammable agricultural
crops, without an engine spark arrester in continuous effective working order.
The engine on your power equipment, like most outdoor power equipment, is an internal combustion engine that burns gasoline or diesel fuel (hydrocarbons). Therefore, your power equipment must be equipped with a spark
arrester mufer in continuous effective working order. The
spark arrester must be attached to the engine exhaust
system in such a manner that ames or heat from the system will not ignite ammable material.
ENGLISH
WARNING
Indicates a potentially hazardous situation that, if not
avoided, could result in death or serious injury.
DANGER
Indicates an imminently hazardous situation that, if not
avoided, will result in death or serious injury.
Failure of the owner/operator of the equipment to comply with this regulation is a misdemeanor under California law and may also be a violation of other state and/or federal regulations, laws, ordinances, or codes. Contact your
local re marshal or forest service for specic information
about which regulations apply in your area.
The standard mufer installed on the engine is not equipped
with a spark arrester. One must be added before using this machine in an area where a spark arrester is required by law. Contact the local authorities if these laws apply to you. See your authorized engine dealer for spark arrester options.
