WARNING: Bear in mind that the exhaust
fumes from the engine are hot and may
contain sparks which can start a fire. Never
start the product indoors or near
combustible material!
The muffler keeps noise levels to a minimum and sends
exhaust fumes away from the operator. For mufflers it is
very important that you follow the instructions on how to
check, maintain and service your product.
•
Regularly check that the muffler is securely attached
to the product.
