(a) Purpose. The Air Resources Board recognizes th at certain emissions-critical or emissions-related parts must be properly identified and maintained in order for off-highway recreational ve hicles, and engines used in such vehicles, to comply with the applicable emissi on standards. The purpose of this section is to require off-highway recreational vehicle engine manufacturers to attach a label (or labels) on each production vehic le (or engine) in order to provide vehicle owners and service mechanics with i nformation necessary for the proper maintenance of these vehicles and engines in customer use.

(b) Applicability

(1) All off

- road motorcycles, all

- terrain vehicles off-highway recreational

vehicles , and engines used in such vehicles, except those c ertified according to section 2412(f), produced on or after January 1, 19 97, for sale, lease, use or introduction into commerce in California, shall com ply with these labeling requirements. of Title 13, California Code of Regulations, Chapt er 1, Article 2, Section 1965, and the incorporated “California Moto r Vehicle Emission Control and Smog Index Labe l Specifications,” adopted March 1, 1978, as last a mended June 24, 1996 (as corrected September 20, 1996), and which are hereby incorporated by reference herein. Any reference to motorcycles in the incorporated documents applies to off

- road motorcycles, a ll

- terrain vehicles, and engines used in such vehicles.

(2) Any off-road motorcycle, all-terrain vehicle, a nd engines used in such vehicles, that are exempt from exhaust emission sta ndards pursuant to title 13 of the California Code of Regulations shall also be ex empt from the requirements of

this section.

(3) The responsibility for compliance with this sec tion rests with the manufacturer who has been granted certification in order to offer these vehicles and engines for sale in California.

(c) Label Content and Location

(1) A tune-up label made of a permanent material sh all be welded, riveted or otherwise permanently attached to an area on the of f-highway recreational vehicle or engine in such a manner that the label w ill be readily visible to the average person after the engine installation.

(2) In selecting an acceptable location, the manufa cturer shall consider the possibility of accidental damage (e.g., possibility of tools or sharp instruments coming in contact with the label). Each label shal l be affixed in such a manner13

that it cannot be removed without destroying or def acing the label, and shall not be affixed to any part that is likely to be replace d during the vehicle’s useful life.

(3) The tune-up label shall be in the English langu age, and use block letters
and numerals, which shall be of a color that contra sts with the background color

of the label.

(4) The tune-up label shall contain the following i nformation:

(A) A label heading that shall read: “Vehicle Emiss ion Control Information.”

(B) The complete corporate name and trademark of th e manufacturer.

(C) Engine family name and engine displacement (in cubic centimeters).

(D) Identification of the Exhaust Emission Control System Abbreviations may be used and shall conform to the nomenclature a nd abbreviations found in the Society of Automotive Engineers’ document J1930 , which is incorporated by reference in section 1977, title 13, CCR, entitled “Electrical/Electronic Systems Diagnostic Terms, Definitions, Abbreviations, and A cronyms.”

(E) The tune-up specifications and adjustments reco mmended by the manufacturer, including, if applicable: valve lash, ignition timing, idle air fuel mixture setting procedure and value (e.g., CO, idle speed drop), and high idle speed. These specifications shall indicate the pro per transmission position during tune-up and what accessories, if any, should be in operation, and what systems, if any (e.g., vacuum advance, air pump), s hould be disconnected during the tune-up. Any tune-up specifications or adjustm ent instructions that appear on labels shall be sufficiently clear and complete so as to preclude the need for a

mechanic or vehicle owner to consult other referenc es in order to correctly perform the adjustments. The manufacturer shall in clude the single statement: “No other adjustments needed,” in lieu of any tune- up adjustment instruction, when the manufacturer does not recommend a tune-up specification or an adjustment.

(F) Any specific fuel or engine lubricant requireme nts (e.g., research octane number, engine lubricant type, etc.).

(G) An unconditional statement of compliance with t he appropriate model-year California regulations. For example, “T his (specify off-road motorcycle, all-terrain vehicle, off-road sport veh icle, off-road utility vehicle, sand car, or engine, as applicable) conforms to Californ ia regulations applicable to (specify applicable model year) model-year new (spe cify off-road motorcycles, all-terrain vehicles, off-road sport vehicles, off- road utility vehicles, sand cars, or engines, as applicable). The statement shall also include the phrase, “is certified to (specify applicable HC standard in grams per kil ometer) HC engine family14

exhaust emission standard in California” or the phr ase “is certified to (specify applicable HC+NO

x

standard in grams per kilowatt-hour) HC+NO

x engine family

exhaust emission standard in California.”

(H) Statements such as those in (G) shall not appea r on labels placed on off-highway recreational vehicles or engines that d o not comply with all applicable California regulations.

(5) A manufacturer may elect to use a supplemental label when the original label lacks sufficient space to include all the req uired information. A supplemental label shall conform to all of the spec ifications as the original label. The original label shall be indicated as “1 of 2” a nd the supplemental label shall be indicated as “2 of 2” whenever a supplemental la bel is utilized.

(6) The provisions of this section shall not preven t a manufacturer from also reciting on the label that such off-highway recreat ional vehicle or engine conforms to any applicable federal emission standar ds for new off-road motorcycles, all-terrain vehicles, off-road utility vehicles or engines used in such vehicles, or any other information that such manufa cturer deems necessary for, or useful to, the proper operation and satisfactory maintenance of such off-highway vehicles or engines.

(7) As used in this Section 2413(c), readily visibl e to the average person

means that the label shall be readable from a dista nce of 18 inches (46 centimeters) without any obstructions from vehi cle or engine parts (including all manufacturer available optional equipment) exce pt for flexible parts (e.g., vacuum hoses, ignition wires) that can be moved out of the way without disconnection. Alternatively, information required by these specifications to be printed on the label shall be no smaller than 8 poi nt type size (2 millimeters in height) provided that no vehicle or engine parts (i ncluding all manufacturer available optional equipment), except for flexible parts, obstruct the label.

(8) The labels and any adhesives used shall be desi gned to withstand, for the off-highway recreational vehicle’s total expected l ife, typical off-highway

recreational vehicle environmental conditions at th e location where a label has been attached. Typical off-highway recreational ve hicle environmental conditions include, but are not limited to, exposure to engine fuels, lubricants and coolants (e.g., gasoline, motor oil, brake fluids, ethylene glycol), engine operating temperatures, steam cleaning, and paints or paint s olvents. The manufacturer must submit, with its certification application, a statement attesting that its labels comply with this requirement.

(9) The manufacturer must obtain approval from the Executive Officer for all emission control label formats and locations prior to certification. Approval of the specific tune-up specifications and adjustments is not required; however, the format for all such specifications and adjustments, if any, is subject to review. If15

the Executive Officer finds that the information on the label is vague or subject to misinterpretation, or that the location does not co mply with these specifications, the Executive Officer may require that the label or its location be modified accordingly.

(10) Samples of all actual production emission cont rol labels used within an engine family shall be submitted to the Executive O fficer of the state Air Resources Board within thirty days after the start of production.

(11) The Executive Officer may approve alternate la bel locations or may, upon request and when the Executive Officer determi nes warranted, waive or modify one or more of the label content requirement s, provided that the intent of

this section is satisfied.

(12) If the Executive Officer finds any off-highway recreational vehicle or engine manufacturer using emission control labels t hat are different from those approved or that do not substantially comply with t he readability or durability requirements set forth in this section, the Executi ve Officer may invoke section 2109, title 13, California Code of Regulations.
