Section 1 – General Information

1.6EVAPORATIVE EMISSIONS

INFORMATION

This generator is subject to evaporative emission standards which have been implemented by the California Air Resource Board (CARB) and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). If this generator is offered for sale in the state of California, it must be covered by a CARB evaporative Executive Order. If this generator is offered for sale to the final consumer in any other state, certified low-permeation fuel line must be used to supply fuel to the generator as required by EPA.

Anyone who installs or configures a fuel system to supply this generator with gasoline is required to comply with all applicable evaporative emission regulations. If this generator is configured such that it shares the primary fuel system of a vehicle in which it is installed, reduced certification requirements may apply. See the CARB guidance document MAC 05-05, located at http://www.arb. ca.gov/msprog/macs/mac0505/mac0505.pdf for further details. If this generator is installed such that it uses a dedicated fuel system, detailed evaporative emission requirements apply; contact a reputable fuel system manufacturer to purchase a complete fuel system certified for use with this generator, or consult the California Code of Regulations if you wish to obtain certification on your own. See the installation instructions in this manual for connecting fuel system vapor lines to the engine.

This generator is not legal for sale in the state of California unless all CARB evaporative emission requirements are adhered to, and is not legal for sale in any other state unless certified low-permeation fuel line is used to supply the generator with gasoline. Contact the California Air Resource Board or the Environmental protection agency for further information. CARB regulations can be found in 13 CCR §§2750 – 2773; EPA regulations can be found in 40 CFR Part 90.
