INTRODUCTION
EPA EMISSION REGULATIONS
Vehicles manufactured by BRP are certified to the
EPA standards as conforming to the requirements
of the regulations for the control of air pollution
emitted from new vehicle engines. This certifica-
tion is contingent on certain adjustments being
set to factory standards. For this reason, the
factory procedure for servicing the product must
be strictly followed and, whenever practicable,
returned to the original intent of the design.
The responsibilities listed above are general and
in no way a complete listing of the rules and regu-
lations pertaining to the EPA requirements on ex-
haust emissions. For more detailed information
on this subject, you may contact the following lo-

beginning of the manual.
Each section is divided into various subsections,
and again, each subsection has one or more divi-

Illustrations and photos show the typical construc-
tion of various assemblies and, in all cases, may
not reproduce the full detail or exact shape of the
parts used in a particular model vehicle. However,
they represent parts which have the same or a
similar function.
