Emission Control Systems; Noise Emission Control System - Polaris 500 Owner's Manual For Maintenance And Safety

Noise Emission Control System

Do not modify the engine, intake or exhaust components, as doing so
may affect compliance with U.S.A. EPA noise control requirements (40
CFR 205) and local noise level requirements.
Operation on Public Lands in the U.S.A.
Your Polaris vehicle has a spark arrestor that was tested and qualified to
be in accordance with the USDA Forest Service Standard 5100-1C. Fed-
eral law requires that this spark arrestor be installed and functional when
the vehicle is operated on public lands.
Operation of off-road vehicles on public lands in the U.S.A. Is regulated
by 43 CFR 8343. Violations are subject to monetary penalties. Federal
regulations can be viewed online at www.gpoaccess.gov/ecfr/.
Crankcase Emission Control System
This engine is equipped with a closed crankcase system. Blow-by gases
are forced back to the combustion chamber by the intake system. All
exhaust gases exit through the exhaust system.
Exhaust Emission Control System
The emissions from the exhaust of this vehicle are controlled by engine
design, including factory-set fuel delivery and ignition. The engine and
related components must be maintained at Polaris specifications to
achieve optimal performance.
Engine idle speed is the only adjustment Polaris recommends that the
operator perform. Any other adjustments should be performed by an
authorized Polaris dealer.
The emissions label is located on either the recoil cover or stator hous-
ing. Remove the seat and look through the gap in the aluminum exhaust
shield to view the label.
NOTE:
The installation of devices that effectively increase exhaust emissions
beyond their legal limits will void all manufacturer warranties and may
violate laws governing the registration and operation of this vehicle.
Electromagnetic Interference
This spark ignition system complies with Canadian ICES-002.
This vehicle complies with European directives 97/24/EC and 89/336/
EEC.
