CAUTION! FIRE PREVENTION
• Do not operate the stump grinder near an open flame or spark.

spilled gas. Use an approved fuel container. Replace the gas cap
securely. If gas has spilled, move the stump grinder away from the
area of the spill and avoid creating any source of ignition until the
spilled gas has evaporated.
• Keep a Class B fire extinguisher on hand when operating this stump grinder in dry

laws. Federal laws apply on federal lands. A spark arrester muffler is available as an
accessory at your nearest engine dealer. Always check legal requirements in your area.
