EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEMS
Noise Emission Control System
Do not modify the engine, intake or exhaust components, as doing so may affect compli-
ance with U.S.A. EPA noise control requirements (40 CFR 205) and local noise level
requirements.
Operation on Public Lands in the U.S.A.
Your POLARIS vehicle has a spark arrester that was tested and qualified to be in accor-
dance with the USFS standard 5100-1c. Federal law requires that this spark arrester be
installed and functional when the vehicle is operated on public lands.
Operation of off-road vehicles on public lands in the U.S.A. is regulated by 43 CFR 420.
Violations are subject to monetary penalties. Federal regulations can be viewed online at
www.gpoaccess.gov/ecfr/.
Crankcase Emission Control System
This engine is equipped with a closed crankcase system. Blow-by gases are forced back
to the combustion chamber by the intake system. All exhaust gases exit through the
exhaust system.
Exhaust Emission Control System
The emissions from the exhaust of this vehicle are con-
trolled by engine design, including factory-set fuel
delivery and ignition. The engine and related compo-
nents must be maintained at POLARIS specifications to
achieve optimal performance.
Engine idle speed is the only adjustment POLARIS rec-
ommends that the operator perform. Any other adjust-
ments should be performed by an authorized POLARIS
dealer.
