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.
