S&S Cycle Sealed Air Cleaner - Manual (Page 2)

INTRODUCTION
New motorcycles sold in California are required to meet evaporative hydrocarbon (HC) emissions standards established by the California Air Resource
Board (CARB). Evaporative HC emissions are simply the result of gasoline that has evaporated and leaked into the atmosphere and one source of
evaporative HC is the fuel found in the carburetor. To help meet CARB requirements the new S&S Sealed Air Cleaner (SAC) was developed to close
off the carburetor when the motorcycle is shut off to reduce the evaporative HC emissions from the motorcycle. When the starter button is pressed
the SAC will reopen to allow air to flow freely into the engine. The SAC will help meet the evaporative hydrocarbon emission levels mandated by the
CARB and maintain the same level of engine performance that customers have come to expect from S&S.
The S&S® Sealed Air Cleaner Kit is for S&S Super E & G carbureted emissions engines that are to be sold in California, USA. The SAC is only part of an
emissions compliant motor and other components and specs are required to meet the standards of the CARB.
Gasoline is highly flammable, explosive under certain conditions, and the fumes toxic when inhaled. Be sure gasoline petcock is OFF
