defective. A defective muffler increases the noise
level and the risk of fire.
Examine the muffler regularly to make sure that it is
attached correctly and not damaged.
CAUTION: The muffler becomes very
hot during and after use and when the
engine operates at idle speed. Be careful
near flammable materials and/or fumes
to prevent fire.
