2.1 Laws Pertaining to Spark Arresters

Notice: State Health Safety Codes and Public Resources Codes
specify that in certain locations spark arresters be used on internal
combustion engines that use hydrocarbon fuels. A spark arrester is a
device designed to prevent accidental discharge of sparks or flames
from the engine exhaust. Spark arresters are qualified and rated by
the United States Forest Service for this purpose.

PD 2A/3A Safety Information

2.3 Operator Safety while using Internal Combustion Engines

A poorly maintained machine can become a safety hazard! In order
for the machine to operate safely and properly over a long period of
time, periodic maintenance and occasional repairs are necessary.

WARNING

2.3.1 DO NOT smoke while operating the machine.

2.3.2 DO NOT smoke when refueling the engine.

2.3.3 DO NOT refuel a hot or running engine.

2.3.4 DO NOT refuel the engine near an open flame.

2.3.5 DO NOT spill fuel when refueling the engine.

2.3.6 DO NOT run the engine near open flames.

2.3.7 ALWAYS refill the fuel tank in a well-ventilated area.

2.3.8 ALWAYS replace the fuel tank cap after refueling.

2.4 Service Safety

A poorly maintained machine can become a safety hazard! In order
for the machine to operate safely and properly over a long period of
time, periodic maintenance and occasional repairs are necessary.

WARNING

2.4.1 DO NOT attempt to clean or service the machine while it is running.
Rotating parts can cause severe injury.

2.4.2 DO NOT crank a flooded engine with the spark plug removed on
gasoline-powered engines. Fuel trapped in the cylinder will squirt out
the spark plug opening.

2.4.3 DO NOT test for spark on gasoline-powered engines if the engine is
flooded or the smell of gasoline is present. A stray spark could ignite
the fumes.

2.4.4 DO NOT use gasoline or other types of fuels or flammable solvents to
clean parts, especially in enclosed areas. Fumes from fuels and
solvents can become explosive.

2.4.5 ALWAYS operate the machine with all safety devices and guards in
place and in working order.

2.4.6 ALWAYS keep the area around the muffler free of debris such as
leaves, paper, cartons, etc. A hot muffler could ignite the debris and
start a fire.

2.4.7 ALWAYS replace worn or damaged components with spare parts
designed and recommended by Wacker Corporation.

2.4.8 ALWAYS disconnect the spark plug on machines equipped with
gasoline engines, before servicing, to avoid accidental start-up.

Machinery Directive, is:

• the guaranteed sound power level (L

• the sound pressure level at operator’s location (L
