Replacement Parts
The emission control systems on the engine were designed, built, and certified to conform
with EPA and California emissions regulations. We recommend the use of genuine our 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 replacement parts that are 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 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.
Maintenance
Follow the maintenance schedule. Remember that this schedule is based on the
assumption that your machine will be used for its designed purpose. Sustained high-load or
high-temperature operation, or use in unusually wet or dusty conditions, will require more
frequent service.
OXYGENATED FUELS
Some conventional gasolines are being blended with alcohol or an ether compound. These
gasolines are collectively referred to as oxygenated fuels. To meet clean air standards, some
areas of the United States and Canada use oxygenated fuels to help reduce emissions.
If you use an oxygenated fuel, be sure it is unleaded and meets the minimum octane rating
