that the starter is not continuously turned for

• Operate, use and maintain the engine, including
the emission control system, in accordance
with the end user instructions, so that the
engine's emission performance is kept within

• Do not deliberately tamper with or misuse the
engine emission control system, especially with
regard to deactivating or not maintaining an
exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) system or a
reagent dosing system.
• When a warning lamp lights up, the engine
is experiencing a problem, which may also
