1.1 Operating Safety
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.
Familiarity and proper training are required for the safe operation of the
machine. Machines operated improperly or by untrained personnel
can be hazardous. Read the operating instructions contained in this
manual and the engine manual, and familiarize yourself with the
location and proper use of all controls. Inexperienced operators should
receive instruction from someone familiar with the machine before
being allowed to operate it.
1.1.1 DO NOT drive over curbs or other uneven objects that will result in the
