State and Local Requirements

Your engine is equipped with a temperature limiting muffler, a spark arresting screen in order to comply
with the requirements of SAE Recommended Practice J335 and California Codes 4442 and 4443. All
national forest land and land managed by the states of California, Maine, Washington, Idaho,
Minnesota, New Jersey and Oregon require internal combustion engines to be equipped with a
spark arrester screen by law. Other states and federal agencies are enacting similar regulations.
If you operate a blower in a state or locale where such regulations exist, you are legally responsible for
maintaining the operating condition of these parts. Failure to do so is a violation of a law. Spark arrester
maintenance is described in the Maintenance-Spark Arresting Muffler Section of the manual.
Note: When using a blower for logging purposes, refer to Code of Federal Regulations, Parts 1910
and 1928.
WARNING: The ignition system of your unit produces an electromagnetic field of a very
low intensity. This field may interfere with some pacemakers. To reduce the risk of serious
or fatal injury, persons with pacemaker should consult their physician and the pacemaker
manufacturer before operating this tool.
WARNING: Muffler surfaces are very hot during and after operation of the blower, keep all
body parts away from the muffler. Serious burns may occur if contact is made with the
muffler.
