Emissions

The United States Environmental Protection Agency (US
EPA) (and California Air Resources Board (CARB), for
engines/equipment certified to California standards)
requires this engine/equipment to comply with exhaust
and evaporative emissions standards. Locate the
emissions compliance decal on the engine to determine
applicable standards. See the included emissions
warranty for emissions warranty information. Follow the
maintenance specifications in this manual to ensure the
engine complies with applicable emissions standards for
the duration of the product's life.

Engine Oil Recommendations

Change oil and oil filter at least once every 12 months,
even if the hours of operation are fewer than the other-
wise recommended service interval. See the applicable
engine manual for recommended oil types. Use only
approved oil types.
For more information, see the engine manual.

Coolant Recommendation

Use demineralized or distilled water for best results. Hard
water causes scale deposits, which reduces cooling effi-
ciency and raises internal temperatures, possibly leading
to engine damage.
See the engine manual for recommended coolants.
Use a Long Life Coolant Antifreeze or Extended Life
Coolant that meets or exceeds these specifications:
See the engine manual for recommended coolants.
Test coolant yearly, or every 1,000 hours, whichever
comes first.
For more information, see the engine manual.
