Emission Control System Information
The U.S. and California Clean Air Acts
EPA and California regulations require all manufacturers to furnish
written instructions describing the operation and maintenance of
emission control systems. The following instructions and procedures
must be followed in order to keep the emissions from your DEK engine
within the emission standards.
The emission control systems on your DEK engine were designed, built,
and certified to conform with EPA and California emission regulations.
Maintenance, replacement, or repair of the emission control devices
and systems may be performed by any engine repair provider, using
parts that are ‘‘certified’’ to EPA standards.
We recommend the use of
genuine DEK parts whenever you have maintenance done. These
original-design replacement parts are manufactured to the same
standards as the original parts, so you can be confident of their
performance.
The use of aftermarket replacement parts, not of the original design
and quality, may impair the effectiveness of your emission control
system. A manufacturer of an aftermarket part assumes the
responsibility that the part will not adversely affect emission control
performance and must certify that use of the part will comply with
emission regulations.
In the State of California a spark arrestor is required by law. Other
states may have similar laws. Federal laws apply on all federal lands. If
you equip the muffler with a spark arrestor, it must be maintained in
effective working order.
