EPA CERTIFIED ENGINES
Engine Emissions Information
Manufactu r er's Responsibility
Beginning with 2007 m o del year engines, snowmo bile manufactur-
ers of snowmobile engines need to determine the exhaust emission
levels for each e ngin e horsepower family and certify these engines
with the United States of America Environmental Protection Agency
(EPA). An emissions c ontrol information label, showing emission lev-
els and engine specifications, must be placed on each vehicle at the
time of manufacture.
Dealer's Responsibility
When performing service on a certified Ski-Doo snowmobiles that
carry an emissions control information label, adjustments must be
kept within p ublished factory specifications.
Replacement or repair of any emission related component must be
executed in a manner that maintains emission levels within the pre-
scribed certification standards.
Dealers are not to m odify the engine in any manner that would alter
the horsepower or allow em ission levels to exceed their predeter-
mined factory sp ecification s.
Exceptions include manufacturer's prescribed changes, such as alti-
tude adjustments for example.
Owner Responsibili ty
The owner/operator is required to have engine maintenance per-
formed to maintain emission levels within prescribed certification
standards.
The owner/operator is not to, and should not allow anyone to mod-
ify the engine in any manner th at would alter the horsepower or al-
low emissions levels to exceed their predetermined factory specifi-
cations.
EPA Emission Regulations
All Ski-Doo snowmobiles manufactured by BRP are certified to
the EPA as conforming to the requirements of the regulations for
the control of air pollution from new snowmobile en gines. This
certification is contingent on certain adjustments being set to fac-
tory standards. For this reason, the factory procedure for servicing
the product must be strictly followed and, whenever practicable,
returned to the original inten t of the design.
