OPERATION
The U.S. and California Clean Air Acts
Your engine has been designed to meet current
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the
California Air Resources Board (CARB) clean air
standards. The regulations dictate that the manufacturers
provide operation and maintenance standards regarding
the emission control system. Tune up specifications are
provided in the Maintenance section. Adherence to the
following instructions will ensure your engine meets the
emission control standards.
To keep the engine emissions within the emission stan-
dards, the following procedures must be followed:
Alterations
Altering the emission control system may increase
emissions beyond the legal limit. Some possible
alterations are as follows:
• Removal or alteration of any part of the intake,
fuel, or exhaust systems
• Altering or defeating the governor linkage or
speed-adjusting mechanism to cause the engine
to operate outside its design parameters
Problems Affecting Emissions
If aware of any of the following, have the engine
inspected and repaired by an authorized Polaris dealer:
• Hard starting or stalling after starting
• Rough idle
• Shut down or backfire after applying an electrical
load
• Afterburning (backfiring)
• Black exhaust smoke or high fuel consumption
Replacement Parts
The emission control system on the engine was de-
signed, built, and certified to conform to applicable emis-
sion regulations. We recommend the use of Polaris
Genuine parts whenever maintenance is performed.
These original-design replacement parts are manufac-
tured to the same standards as the original parts. The use
of replacement parts that are not of the original design
and quality may impair the effectiveness of the emission
control system.
Aftermarket part manufacturers assume the responsibility
that the part will not adversely affect emission
24
performance. The manufacturer or rebuilder of the part
must certify that use of the part will not result in a failure
of the engine to comply with emission regulations.
