Emission Control System - probst EASYFILL EF-H Betriebsanleitung

Emission control system

Source of emissions
The combustion process produces carbon monoxide, oxides of
nitrogen, and hydrocarbons. Control of hydrocarbons and oxides
of nitrogen is very important because, under certain conditions,
they react to form photochemical smog. Carbon monoxide is an
odorless, colorless gas which is poisonous. While it does not
contribute directly to the formation of smog, it is deadly.
Honda Motor Co., Ltd. uses lean carburetor settings and other
systems to reduce the emissions of carbon monoxide, oxides of
nitrogen and hydrocarbons.
The following instructions and procedures must be followed in
order to keep the emissions from your Honda engine within the
emission standards.
Replacement parts
Honda recommends only the use of new, genuine Honda parts or
their equivalent. The use of other replacement parts which are not
of equivalent quality may impair the effectiveness of your emission
control system.
Maintenance
Follow the maintenance schedule on page 14. Remember that this
schedule is based on the assumption that your machine will be
used for its designed purpose. Sustained high-load or
high-temperature operation, or use in unusually wet or dusty
conditions, will require more frequent service.
CORRECT MAINTENANCE IS THE OWNER'S
RESPONSIBILITY.

Tampering and altering
Tampering with or altering the emission control system may
increase emissions beyond the legal limit. Among those acts that
constitute tampering are:
• Removal or alteration of any part of the intake or exhaust
systems.
• Altering or defeating the governor linkage or speed-adjusting
mechanism to cause the engine to operate outside its design
parameters.
Problems that may affect emissions
If you are aware of any of the following symptoms, have your
engine inspected and repaired by your authorized Honda engine
dealer:
• Hard starting or stalling after starting.
• Rough idle.
• Misfiring of backfiring under load.
• Afterburning (backfiring).
• Black exhaust smoke or high fuel consumption.
