Owner Responsibility
The owner/operator is required to have engine main-
tenance performed to maintain emission levels within
prescribed certification standards.
The owner/operator is not to modify the engine in any
manner that would alter the horsepower or allow
emissions levels to exceed their predetermined fac-
tory specifications.
Single engine exceptions may be allowed with per-
mission from the EPA for racing and testing.
