EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM
INFORMATION
Source of Emissions
The combustion process produces carbon monox-
ide, oxides of nitrogen, and hydrocarbons. Control
of hydrocarbons and oxides of nitrogen is very
important because, under certain conditions, they
react to form photochemical smog when subjected
to sunlight. Carbon monoxide does not react in the
same way, but it is toxic.
This utilizes lean carburetor settings and other sys-
tems to reduce the emissions of carbon monoxide,
oxides of nitrogen and hydrocarbons.
Tampering and Altering
Tampering with or altering the emission control sys-
tem may increase emissions beyond the legal limit.
Among those acts that constitute tampering are:
• Removal or alteration of any part of the intake,
fuel or exhaust systems.
• Altering or defeating the governor linkage or
speed-adjusting mechanism to cause the engine to
operate outside its design parameters.
Problems that may Affect Emissions
If you are aware of any of the following symptoms,
have your engine inspected and repaired by your
servicing dealer.
• Hard starting or stalling after starting
• Rough idle
• Misfiring or backfiring under load
• Afterburning (backfiring)
• Black exhaust smoke or high fuel consumption
Replacement Parts
The emission control systems on your engine were
designed, built. We recommend the use of genuine
parts whenever you have maintenance done.
These original-design replacement parts are manu-
factured to the same standards as the original
parts, so you can be confident of their performance.
The use of replacement parts that are not of the
original design and quality may impair the effective-
ness of your emission control system.
A manufacturer of an aftermarket part assumes the
responsibility that the part will not adversely affect
emission performance. The manufacturer or
rebuilder of the part must certify that use of the part
will not result in a failure of the engine to comply
with emission regulations.
Maintenance
Follow the maintenance schedule. Remember that
this schedule is based on the assumption that your
machine will be used for its designed purpose.
Sustained high-load or high-temperature operation,
or use in unusually wet or dusty conditions, will
require more frequent service.
