EPA CERTIFIED ENGINES
Engine Emissions
Information
Manufacturer's Responsibility
Beginning with 2007 model year en-
gines , snowmobile manufacturers of
snowmobile engines need to deter-
mine the exhaust emission levels for
each engine horsepower family and
certify these engines with the United
States of America Environmental Pro-
tection Agency (EPA). An emissions
control information label,
showing
emission levels and engine specifica-
tions, must be placed on each vehicle
at the time of manufacture.
Dealer's Responsibility
When performing service on a certi-
fied Ski-Doo snowmobiles that carry
an emissions control information label,
adjustments must be kept within pub-
lished factory specifications.
Replacement or repair of any emission
related component must be executed
in a manner that maintains emission
levels within the prescribed certifica-
tion standards.
Dealers are not to modify the engine in
any manner that would alter the horse-
power or allow emission levels to ex-
ceed their predetermined factory spec-
ifications.
Exceptions
include manufacturer's
prescribed changes, such as altitude
adjustments for example.
Owner Responsibility
The owner/operator is required to have
engine maintenance performed to
maintain emission levels within pre-
scribed 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 specifications.
EPA Emission Regulations
All Ski-Doo snowmobiles manufac-
tured by BRP are certified to the EPA
as conforming to the requirements of
the regulations for the control of air
pollution from new snowmobile en-
gines. This certification 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 list-
ing of the rules and regulations per-
taining to the EPA requirements on
exhaust emissions for snowmobile
products. For more detailed informa-
tion on this subject, you may contact
