ENGINE EMISSIONS
INFORMATION
MANUFACTURER'S
RESPONSIBILITY
Manufacturers of engines must determine the
exhaust emission levels for each engine horse-
power family and certify these engines with
the United States of America Environmental
Protection Agency (EPA). An emissions control
information label, showing emission levels and
engine specifications, must be placed on each
vehicle at the time of manufacture.
DEALER RESPONSIBILITY
When servicing any vehicle that carry an emis-
sions control information label, adjustments must
be kept within published factory specifications.
Replacement or repair of any emission related
component must be executed in a manner that
maintains emission levels within the prescribed
certification standards.
Dealers are not to modify the engine in any man-
ner that would alter the horsepower or allow emis-
sion levels to exceed their predetermined factory
specifications.
Exceptions include manufacturer's prescribed
changes.
OWNER RESPONSIBILITY
The owner/operator is required to have engine
maintenance performed to maintain emission
levels within prescribed certification standards.
The owner/operator is not to, and should not al-
low anyone else to modify the engine in any man-
ner that would alter the horsepower or allow emis-
sions levels to exceed their predetermined factory
specifications.
EPA EMISSION REGULATIONS
Vehicles manufactured by BRP are certified to the
EPA standards as conforming to the requirements
of the regulations for the control of air pollution
emitted from new vehicle engines. This certifica-
tion is contingent on certain adjustments being
set to factory standards. For this reason, the
factory procedure for servicing the product must
be strictly followed and, whenever practicable,
returned to the original intent of the design.

This manual uses technical terms which may be
different from the ones of the parts catalogs.
When ordering parts always refer to the specific
model PARTS CATALOGS.
NOTICE Most fasteners are metric, and most
components are built with parts dimensioned
using the metric system. Consult the appropri-
ate PARTS CATALOG to obtain and use the cor-
rect parts and fasteners. Mismatched or incor-
rect fasteners could cause damage to the vehi-
cle.
MANUAL LAYOUT
This manual is divided into many major sections as
can be seen in the main table of contents at the
beginning of the manual.
Each section is divided into various subsections,
and again, each subsection has one or more divi-
sions.
Illustrations and photos show the typical construc-
tion of various assemblies and, in all cases, may
not reproduce the full detail or exact shape of the
parts used in a particular model vehicle. However,
they represent parts which have the same or a
similar function.

TIGHTENING TORQUE
Tighten fasteners to the torque specified in the exploded view(s) and/or in the written procedure. When
a torque is not specified, refer to the following table.
WARNING
Torque wrench tightening specifications must be strictly adhered to.
Locking devices must be replaced when removed (e.g.: locking tabs, elastic stop nuts, self-lock-
ing fasteners, cotter pins, etc.).
In order to avoid a poor assembly, tighten screws, bolts, or nuts in accordance with the following proce-
dure:
1. Manually screw in all screws, bolts and/or nuts.
2. Apply half the recommended torque value.
3. Tighten fastener to the recommended torque value.
NOTICE
Be sure to use the recommended tightening torque for the specified fastener used.
NOTE: Whenever possible, always apply torque on the nut.
NOTE: Always torque screws, bolts and/or nuts using a crisscross pattern when multiple fasteners are
used to secure a part (eg. a cylinder head). Some parts must be torqued according to a specific sequence
and torque pattern as detailed in the installation procedure.
