ENGINES--Table of Contents

 

          Subpart B_Emission Standards and Related Requirements

 

Sec.  1048.130  What installation instructions must I give to equipment 

manufacturers?



    (a) If you sell an engine for someone else to install in a piece of 

nonroad equipment, give the engine installer instructions for installing 

it consistent with the requirements of this part. Include all 

information necessary to ensure that an engine will be installed in its 

certified configuration.

    (b) Make sure these instructions have the following information:

    (1) Include the heading: ``Emission-related installation 

instructions''.

    (2) State: ``Failing to follow these instructions when installing a 

certified engine in a piece of nonroad equipment violates federal law 

(40 CFR 1068.105(b)), subject to fines or other penalties as described 

in the Clean Air Act.''.

    (3) Describe the instructions needed to properly install the exhaust 

system

and any other components. Include instructions consistent with the 

requirements of Sec.  1048.205(v).

    (4) Describe the steps needed to control evaporative emissions, as 

described in Sec. Sec.  1048.105 and 1048.245.

    (5) Describe any necessary steps for installing the diagnostic 

system described in Sec.  1048.110.

    (6) Describe any limits on the range of applications needed to 

ensure that the engine operates consistently with your application for 

certification. For example, if your engines are certified only for 

constant-speed operation, tell equipment manufacturers not to install 

the engines in variable-speed applications. Also, if you need to avoid 

sustained high-load operation to meet the field-testing emission 

standards we specify in Sec.  1048.101(c) or to comply with the 

provisions of Sec.  1048.101(d), describe how the equipment manufacturer 

must properly size the engines for a given application.

    (7) Describe any other instructions to make sure the installed 

engine will operate according to design specifications in your 

application for certification. This may include, for example, 

instructions for installing aftertreatment devices when installing the 

engines.

    (8) State: ``If you install the engine in a way that makes the 

engine's emission control information label hard to read during normal 

engine maintenance, you must place a duplicate label on the equipment, 

as described in 40 CFR 1068.105.''.

    (c) You do not need installation instructions for engines you 

install in your own equipment.

    (d) Provide instructions in writing or in an equivalent format. For 

example, you may post instructions on a publicly available Web site for 

downloading or printing. If you do not provide the instructions in 

writing, explain in your application for certification how you will 

ensure that each installer is informed of the installation requirements.
