exhaust  gases.  Never  run  the  engine  in  a closed  garage  or confined  area.

may  result.

Do  not  place  anything  on  the  engine,  as  it  may  create  a  fire  hazard.

A spark  arrester  is available  as  an  optional  part  for  this  engine.  It is  illegal 
in  some  areas  to  operate  an  engine  without  a spark  arrester.  Check  local 
laws  and  regulations  before  operating.
