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.

In order to comply with local laws regarding spark arresters, consult
the engine distributor or the local Health and Safety Administrator.
