3.5. EPA/CARB-type plates and
fuel label
The layout of the EPA / CARB - type plate depends
on the engine application and is placed on the
crankcase resp. on the capsule (chapt. 2).
It includes the following emission control infor-
mation (Figure 4a):
Type plate
4a
➀ EPA / CARB - Engine Family Number
➁ engine type / spec. (only for special
equipment) /Fuel Delivery Timing
➂ engine number
➃ max. engine rated speed
➄ build date
➅ displacement
➆ rated power
➇ emission control system information (see
page 42 and 58)
➈ “variable speed” or “constant speed only”
(if requested)
The type plate also states the applicable emis-
sion-related power category of the engine.
The figure of the lable shows a EPA/CARB (50
states) label. The text referring to the emission
regulation gets printed depending on the engine
equipment (EPA or EPA and CARB).
Every engine is equipped with an additional
loose engine type plate. If the original type
plate on the engine is not readily visible after
the engine is installed in the equipment then
the second loose type plate must be attached
on the equipment in such a manner that it is
readily visible to an average person.
For any offer as well as spare parts orders it is
necessary to mention the following data (also
see spare parts list, page 1):
➁ engine type / spec.
(only for special equipment)
➂ engine number
➃ max. engine rated speed
Always install the engine for its intended applica-
tion in order to comply with EPA and CARB
emission regulation requirements.
Fuel label
4b
The engine must be operated with “ULTRA LOW
SULFUR FUEL ONLY”.
The fuel label is placed nearby the fuel inlet.
If there was no fuel tank mounted to the engine,
the label has to be permanently attached to the
equipment near the fuel inlet.
