Emission Control System Information

The U.S. and California Clean Air Acts
EPA and California regulations require all manufacturers to furnish
written instructions describing the operation and maintenance of
emission control systems. The following instructions and procedures
must be followed in order to keep the emissions from your DEK engine
within the emission standards.

The emission control systems on your DEK engine were designed, built,
and certified to conform with EPA and California emission regulations.

Maintenance, replacement, or repair of the emission control devices
and systems may be performed by any engine repair provider, using
parts that are ‘‘certified’’ to EPA standards.

We recommend the use of

genuine DEK parts whenever you have maintenance done. These
original-design replacement parts are manufactured to the same
standards as the original parts, so you can be confident of their
performance.

The use of aftermarket replacement parts, not of the original design
and quality, may impair the effectiveness of your emission control
system. A manufacturer of an aftermarket part assumes the
responsibility that the part will not adversely affect emission control
performance and must certify that use of the part will comply with
emission regulations.


In the State of California a spark arrestor is required by law. Other
states may have similar laws. Federal laws apply on all federal lands. If
you equip the muffler with a spark arrestor, it must be maintained in
effective working order.


Carbon Monoxide Gas

odorless gas. Breathing exhaust can cause loss of consciousness and
may lead to death. To keep exhaust gas from accumulating, DO NOT
use this product in a garage, basement, crawlspace, enclosed shed, or
any other area without adequate ventilation. DO NOT use this
equipment near ventilation ducts or open windows that may allow
exhaust gasses to enter your home or business. ONLY operate this
product outdoors.

The engine exhaust from this product and other components contain
chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth
defects or other reproductive harm.

buildings and other equipment during operation.

for a while after stopping the engine. Be careful not to touch
the muffler while it is hot.

 Let the engine cool before storing.
 Refuel in a well ventilated area with the engine stopped.
 Fuel vapors are extremely flammable and may ignite after the

engine has started. Make sure that any spilled fuel has been
wiped up before starting the engine.
