Notice: 

  State Health Safety Codes and Public Resources Codes specify that in certain

hydrocarbon fuels. A spark arrester is a device designed to prevent accidental

qualified and rated by the United States Forest Service for this purpose.   

In order to comply with local laws regarding spark arresters, consult the engine distributor 

or the local Health and Safety Administrator.
