X. Preventing Forest, Brush and

Grass Fires

Local, state and federal laws may require use of a spark

arrester to prevent fires. For example, it is a violation of

California Public Resources Code (section 4442) to use or

operate engine on any forest-covered, brush-covered or

unimproved grass-covered land unless engine is equipped

with a spark arrester. Spark arrester must be maintained in

effective working order by owner and/or operator.

To determine if your engine has a spark arrester, locate

the muffler on your engine. For example, the muffler

discharge will have a spark arrester cover that reads

“Screen Type 36085”.

If your engine does NOT have a spark arrester, you may

purchase one from your Authorized TecumsehPower

Servicing Dealer. In some cases the muffler may need to

be replaced to allow the spark arrester to be installed.

XI. Maintenance Intervals

Maintenance is one of the most important things that

you can do to extend the life of your TecumsehPower

engine. If you are unable to perform maintenance intervals

yourself, contact your nearest Authorized TecumsehPower

Servicing Dealer. Find them on our website at

www.TecumsehPower.com or call TecumsehPower

Company at 1-800-558-5402 for additional information.

ALWAYS promptly follow maintenance intervals listed in
