Exhaust Emission - Epa Durability - Beta Marine Beta 14 Installation Manual

Emission-Related Warranty
IN RESPECT TO CATEGORY 1 MARINE PROPULSION ENGINES FOR
RECREATIONAL PURPOSE WITH EXHAUST EMISSIONS CONFORMING
TO THE APPLICABLE REQUIREMENTS OF 40 CFR PART 1042 AND
COVERED BY A CERTIFICATE OF CONFORMITY ISSUED BY US EPA.
The engine must be installed, maintained and operated within the parameters detailed in the
Operator's Maintenance Manual. Maintenance must use approved materials, parts and consumables.
Should the engine lie unused for a period in excess of 6 months it must be inhibited otherwise it
will deteriorate with resulting decrease in performance. See also the Winterising and Laying Up
procedures in the Operator's Maintenance Manual.
The fuel settings of the diesel injection system must not be tampered with otherwise the guarantee
will be invalid and the performance may fall outside prescribed limit. Such adjustment cannot be
allowed as the emission certification relates to factory settings. Performance of the engine depends
upon the use of correct fuels, lubricants and inhibitors. These are fully detailed in the Operator's
Maintenance Manual.
Particular attention must be paid to the installation with respect to the exhaust system. The system
must be designed so that water cannot back feed into the engine. The run must be such that
the back pressure at the engine manifold does not exceed the limit detailed in the Operator's
Maintenance Manual. Wet (water injected) exhaust systems must be at least the bore mentioned
in the Operator's Maintenance Manual and should the run be excessive this bore must be increased
accordingly. Back pressure is measured at the outlet of the engine manifold before the water
injection bend or dry bellows.
The air induction system and air cleaner supplied with the engine must be used and maintained
within the limits specified in the Operator's Maintenance Manual.
For Emission-related Warranty the engine components must not be tampered with or replaced.
Engine performance, especially with respect to erratic running, exhaust condition, low power output
and high oil consumption are indications of engine conditions that may result in emissions outside
the prescribed limits and must therefore be investigated and rectified immediately. Only genuine
Beta Marine or Kubota approved parts must be used, installed (and where applicable, properly set)
only by our authorized mechanic.
The Emission-related Warranty will be limited to 5 years or 1000 running hours whichever comes
first.
