This unit is equipped with an internal combustion engine and should not be used on or near any unimproved
forest-covered, brush-covered or grass-covered land unless the engine's exhaust system is equipped with a

The engine exhaust from this product contains chemicals known to the state of California to cause cancer,
birth defects or other reproductive harm.
