resting screen which meets the requirements of
California Codes 4442 and 4443. All U.S. forest
land and the states of California, Idaho, Maine,
Minnesota, New Jersey, Oregon, and Washing-
ton require by law that many internal combus-
tion engines be equipped with a spark arresting

maintaining the operating condition of these
parts. Failure to do so is a violation of the law.

vice. After 50 hours of use, we recommend that
your muffler be serviced or replaced by your au-
thorized service dealer.
