EPA CERTIFIED ENGINES
Maintenance, replacement, or re-
pair of the emission control devices
and systems may be performed by
any snowmobile SI (spark ignition)
engine repair establishments or in-
dividual.
Engine Emissions
Information
Manufacturer's Responsibility
Snowmobile manufacturers of snow-
mobile engines need to determine
the exhaust emission levels 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
levels and engine specifications, 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
horsepower or allow emission levels
to exceed their predetermined factory
specifications.
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 new 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 snow-
mobile engines. 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 ex-
haust emissions for snowmobile prod-
ucts. For more detailed information
