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.
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 mufer 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.
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 specic information
about which regulations apply in your area.
The standard mufer 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.
1.3 BEFORE OPERATING
ENGLISH

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

hay or other ammable
agricultural crops, without
an engine spark arrester
