Emission control system
Emission source
Exhaust gas contains carbon monoxide, nitrous oxide (NOx), and hydrocarbons. It is very
important to control the emissions of NO
X
and hydrocarbons as they are a major contributor to air
pollution. Carbon monoxide is a poisonous gas. The emission of fuel vapors is a source of
pollution as well. The Kipor generator engine utilizes a precise air-fuel ratio and emission control
system to reduce the emissions of carbon monoxide, NO
X
, hydrocarbons, and evaporative fuel
emissions.
Regulation
Your engine has been designed to meet current Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the
California Air Resources Board (CARB) clean air standards. The regulations dictate that the
manufacturer provide operation and maintenance standards regarding the emission control
system. Tune up specifications are provided in the Specifications section and a description of the
emission control system may be found in the appendix to this manual, Adherence to the following
instructions will ensure your engine meets the emission control standards.
