Engine Emissions Information
Manufacturer's Responsibility
Beginning with 2004 model year engines, snowmobile manufactur-
ers of snowmobile engines may determine the exhaust emission
levels for each engine horsepower family and certify these engines
with the United States of America Environmental Protection Agen-
cy (EPA). An emissions control information label, showing emission
levels and engine specifications, must be placed on each vehicle at
the time of manufacture.
Dealer's Responsibility
When performing service on all 2004 and more recent certified SKI-
DOO snowmobiles that carry an emissions control information label,
adjustments 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 mod-
ify the engine in any manner that would alter the horsepower or al-
low emissions levels to exceed their predetermined factory specifi-
cations.
EPA Emission Regulations
All new 2004 and more recent certified SKI-DOO snowmobiles man-
ufactured by BRP are certified to the EPA as conforming to the re-
quirements of the regulations for the control of air pollution from new
snowmobile engines. This certification is contingent on certain ad-
justments being set to factory standards. For this reason, the facto-
ry procedure for servicing the product must be strictly followed and,
whenever practicable, returned to the original intent of the design.
