WARNING
This machine is equipped with an internal combustion engine and should

If a spark arrestor is used, it should be maintained in effective working order
by the operator. In the State of California the above is required by law (Section
4442 of the California Public Resources Code). Other states may have similar
laws. Federal laws apply on federal lands.
A spark arrestor for the muffler is available through your nearest Sears Parts
