Emission Control - TVS Apache RR 310 Owner's Manual

Emission Control

Source of Emissions
The combustion process of an engine produces
carbon monoxide and hydrocarbons. Control of
hydrocarbons is very important because under
certain conditions, they react to form photochemical
smog when subjected to sunlight.
Carbon monoxide does not react in the same way,
but is toxic. TVS Motor Company Limited used
various components to reduce carbon monoxide and
hydrocarbons.
Exhaust emission control system
All the TVS motorcycles are tested in the factory
for optimum fuel efficiency and lowest possible CO
levels.
While adequate care is exercised at the factory
to ensure that the emissions are within the limits,
it is essential for the owner to always maintain the
motorcycle in good condition by getting it periodically
checked and serviced by TVS Motor Company
Authorised Main Dealer so that the emission and fuel
consumption levels are maintained as per norms.
Factors that may affect motorcycle emission
If the following symptoms are noticed in your
motorcycle, have the vehicle inspected by TVS Motor
Company Authorised Main Dealers.
• Abnormal jerk
• Difficult to start or engine gets off after starting.
Improper idling
• Misfiring or backfiring during acceleration
• After-burning (back firing)
• Poor driveability and poor fuel economy.
• Noise due to sudden escape of gas during
opening of fuel tank cap.
Crankcase emission control system
The engine of TVS Apache RR 310 is equipped with
a closed crankcase ventilation system to prevent
discharging crankcase emissions into the atmosphere.
Blow-by gas is returned to the combustion chamber
through the air cleaner and the throttle body.
Evaporative Emission Control System
The TVS Apache RR 310 is equipped with an
evaporative emission control system which consists
of a canister and associated piping. This system
prevents the escape of fuel vapors from the throttle
body and fuel tank.
