MAINTENANCE 

EMISSION CONTROL INFORMATION 

To protect the environment in which we will live, the manufacturer has incorporated (1) crankcase emission and (2) 
exhaust emission control systems (EM) in compliance with applicable regulations of the United States Environmental 
Protection Agency and California Air Resources Board. 

1.

 

Crankcase Emission Control System. A sealed-type crankcase emission control system is used to eliminate blow-
by  gases.  The  blow-by  gases  are  led  to  the  breather  chamber  through  the  crankcase  where  it  is  led  to  the  air 
cleaner. Oil is then separated from the gases while passing through the inside of the breather chamber from the 
crankcase, and then returned back to the bottom of crankcase. 

2.

 

Exhaust  Emission  Control  System.  The  exhaust  emission  control  system  applied  to  this  engine  consists  of  a 
carburetor  and  an  ignition  system  having  optimum  ignition  timing  characteristics.  The  carburetor  has  been 
calibrated to provide lean air/propane mixture characteristics and optimum propane economy with a suitable air 
cleaner and exhaust system. 

Tampering with Emission Control System Prohibited: Federal law and California State law prohibits the following acts 
or  the  causing  thereof:  (1)  the  removal  or  rendering  inoperative  by  any  person  other  than  for  purposes  of 
maintenance, repair, or replacement, of any device or element at design incorporated into any new engine for the 
purpose of emission control prior to its sale or delivery to the ultimate purchaser or while it is in use, or (2) the use 
of the engine after such device or element of design has been removed or rendered inoperative by any person. 
 
Among acts presumed to constitute tampering involve the parts/systems listed below: 

 

Carburetor and internal parts 

 

Spark plugs 

 

Magneto or electronic ignition system 

 

Propane filter element 

 

Air cleaner elements 

 

Crankcase 

 

Cylinder heads 

 

Breather chamber and internal parts 

 

Intake pipe and tube 

 

GENERAL MAINTENANCE AND ADJUSTMENTS 
PROPANE CONTROL SYSTEM 

To ensure personal safety, adjustments should ONLY be made by a qualified LPG system technician or an authorized 
service center, using an exhaust gas analyzer. Do not operate the  engine if carbon monoxide levels exceed OSHA 
standards. 

 

RECOMMENDED OIL CHANGE INTERVALS 

Do not exceed the 50 hour oil change interval. Oil changes more frequent than 50 hours will give even longer engine 
life. In any case, always use 30HD or 10W30 engine oil with all of the following ratings: SF, SG, and CC. The various 
engines have different oil sump capacities. Make sure the oil level is maintained at the "FULL" level. 

 

 
SERVICE SCHEDULE 
First 25 HOURS and Every 50 HOURS Thereafter 

 

Change engine oil. * 

 

Check engine for loose parts. * 

 

Check propane system hoses for wear or damage. * 

 

Check engine mount bolts. * 

 

Check for leakage of engine oil at the various seals.*

 

 

Return engine to authorized service * center for overall checkup.
