The California Air Resources Board, the U.S. Environmen-
tal Protection Agency and Shindaiwa Corporation are pleased
to explain the exhaust and evaporative emission control sys-

In California, new small off-road engines must be

smog standards.

tem includes parts such as the carburetor, fuel tank, the igni-
tion system and, if equipped, the catalytic converter. These
components are specifically listed below.
Where a warrantable condition exists, Shindaiwa Corpora-
tion will repair your small off-road engine at no cost to you
including diagnosis, parts, and labor.
