1.6 EVAPORATIVE EMISSIONS
INFORMATION
This generator is subject to evaporative emission standards which
have been implemented by the California Air Resource Board
(CARB) and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). If this
generator is offered for sale in the state of California, it must be
covered by a CARB evaporative Executive Order. If this generator
is offered for sale to the final consumer in any other state, certified
low-permeation fuel line must be used to supply fuel to the genera-
tor as required by EPA.
Anyone who installs or configures a fuel system to supply this
generator with gasoline is required to comply with all applicable
evaporative emission regulations. If this generator is configured
such that it shares the primary fuel system of a vehicle in which it
is installed, reduced certification requirements may apply. See the
CARB guidance document MAC 05-05, located at http://www.arb.
ca.gov/msprog/macs/mac0505/mac0505.pdf for further details. If
this generator is installed such that it uses a dedicated fuel system,
detailed evaporative emission requirements apply; contact a repu-
table fuel system manufacturer to purchase a complete fuel sys-
tem certified for use with this generator, or consult the California
Code of Regulations if you wish to obtain certification on your
own. See the installation instructions in this manual for connecting
fuel system vapor lines to the engine.
This generator is not legal for sale in the state of California unless
all CARB evaporative emission requirements are adhered to, and is
not legal for sale in any other state unless certified low-permeation
fuel line is used to supply the generator with gasoline. Contact
the California Air Resource Board or the Environmental protection
agency for further information. CARB regulations can be found in
13 CCR §§2750 – 2773; EPA regulations can be found in 40 CFR
Part 90.
1.7 EXHAUST EMISSIONS
INFORMATION (GASOLINE)
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the California Air
Resource Board (CARB) require that this generator comply with
exhaust emission standards. The generator is certified to meet all
applicable exhaust emission levels. This generator is certified for
use as a mobile engine. It is important that you follow the mainte-
nance specifications listed in this manual to ensure that the engine
complies with emission standards for the duration of its life. This
engine is certified to operate on gasoline. The emission control
system on the generator consists of the following:
Fuel Metering System •
~ Carburetor assembly
~ Fuel pump and lines
Air Induction System •
~ Intake pipe / manifold
~ Air cleaner
Ignition System •
~ Spark plug
~ Ignition module
Catalytic Converter (if equipped) •
The Emissions Compliance Period referred to on the Emissions
Compliance Label indicates the number of operating hours for
which the engine has been shown to meet Federal and California
emission requirements. See the table below to determine the com-
pliance period for this generator. The displacement of the engine is
listed on the Emissions Compliance Label.
