2.1 Laws Pertaining to Spark Arresters

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.

2.4 Towing Safety

Towing a large trailer requires special care! Both the trailer and vehicle

must be in good condition and securely fastened to each other to

reduce the possibility of an accident.

2.4.1 ALWAYS check that the hitch and coupling on the vehicle are rated

equal to, or greater than, the trailer's “gross vehicle weight rating”

(GVWR).

2.4.2 ALWAYS inspect the hitch and coupling for wear or damage. DO NOT

tow trailer using defective parts!
