vices and systems may be performed by any snowmobile SI

Engine Emissions Information
Manufacturer’s Responsibility
Beginning with 2004 model year engines, snowmobile manufactur-
ers of snowmobile engines may determine the exhaust emission lev-
els for each engine horsepower family and certify these engines with
the United States of America Environmental Protection Agency
(EPA). An emissions control information label, showing emission lev-
els and engine specifications, must be placed on each vehicle at the
time of manufacture.
Bombardier Recreational Products certified the following engine to
applicable EPA snowmobile standards:
1503
Dealer’s Responsibility
When performing service on all 2004 and more recent certified SKI-DOO
snowmobiles that carry an emissions control information label, ad-
justments must be kept within published factory specifications.
Replacement or repair of any emission related component must be
executed in a manner that maintains emission levels within the pre-
scribed certification standards.
Dealers are not to modify the engine in any manner that would alter
the horsepower or allow emission levels to exceed their predeter-
mined factory specifications.
Exceptions include manufacturer’s prescribed changes, such as alti-
tude adjustments for example.
Owner Responsibility
The owner/operator is required to have engine maintenance per-
formed to maintain emission levels within prescribed certification
standards.
The owner/operator is not to, and should not allow anyone to modify
the engine in any manner that would alter the horsepower or allow
emissions levels to exceed their predetermined factory specifica-
tions.
