1 SAFETY

Section

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.

DANGER

Indicates an imminently hazardous situation that, if not avoided, will result in death or serious injury.

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 muffler in continuous effective working order. The spark arrester must be attached to the engine exhaust system in such a manner that flames or heat from the system will not ignite flammable material.

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 fire marshal or forest service for specific information about which regulations apply in your area.

Thestandardmufflerinstalledontheengineisnotequipped 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.
