A Note to All Users
Under California law, and the laws of some other states, you are not permitted to operate an internal combustion engine using
hydrocarbon fuels without an engine spark arrester. This also applies to operation on US Forest Lands. All DR®PRO XL-SP
STUMP GRINDERS shipped to California, New Mexico and Washington State are provided with spark arresters. Failure of the
owner or operator to maintain this equipment in compliance with state regulations is a misdemeanor under California law and
may be in violation of other state and/or federal regulations. Contact your State Park Association or the appropriate state
organization for specific information in your area.
No list of warnings and cautions can be all-inclusive. If situations occur that are not covered by this manual, the operator must
apply common sense and operate this DR PRO XL-SP STUMP GRINDER in a safe manner. Contact us at www.DRpower.com or
call 1-800-DR-OWNER (376-9637) for assistance.
