• Evaporative Control System ~ Ignition module
~ Carbon Canister • Exhaust System
~ Vapor Hoses ~ Pulse Air Injection Valve
~ Muffler
The Emissions Compliance Period referred to on the Emissions
Compliance Label indicates the number of operating hours for
which the engine has been shown to meet Federal and California
emission requirements. See the table below to determine the
compliance period for your generator. The displacement of your
generator is listed on the Emissions Compliance Label.
