Sec.  1051.130  What installation instructions must I give to vehicle 

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.  1051.205(r).

    (4) Describe the steps needed to comply with the evaporative 

emission standards in Sec.  1051.110.

    (5) 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 to the 

snowmobile standards, tell vehicle manufacturers not to install the 

engines in other vehicles.

    (6) 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.

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

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

engine maintenance, you must place a duplicate label on the vehicle, as 

described in 40 CFR 1068.105.''.

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

install in your own vehicles.

    (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.
