EPA MAINTENANCE
REQUIREMENTS
To maintain optimum engine performance
and compliance with the Environmental
Protection Agency (EPA) Regulations for
Engines, it is essential that you follow the
Periodic Maintenance Schedule on page
46 and the Periodic Maintenance
Procedures on page 49.
EPA Requirements for USA and
Other Applicable Countries
The following are the requirements for the
EPA. Unless these requirements are met,
the exhaust gas emissions will not be within
the limits specified by the EPA.
The EPA emission regulation is applicable
only in the USA and other countries that
have adapted the EPA requirements in part
or in whole. Determine and follow the
emission regulations in the country where
your engine will be operating.
Conditions to Ensure
Compliance with EPA Emission
Standards
The 1GM10, 1GM10C and 1GM10V are
EPA-certified engines.
The following are the conditions that must be
met in order to ensure that the emissions
during operation meet the EPA standards:
• Ambient temperature: -20˚ to +40˚C
(-4˚ to +104˚F)
• Relative humidity: 80% or lower
The diesel fuel should be:
• ASTM D975 No. 1-D or No. 2-D, or
equivalent (minimum of cetane No. 45)
The lubricating oil should be:
• Type API, Class CD or higher
Perform the inspections as outlined in
Periodic Maintenance Procedures on page
49 and keep a record of the results.
Pay particular attention to these important
points:
• Replacing the engine oil
• Replacing the engine oil filter
• Replacing the fuel filter
• Cleaning the intake silencer (air cleaner)
Note: Inspections are divided into two
sections in accordance with who is
responsible for performing the inspection:
the user or the manufacturer.
Inspection and Maintenance
See Inspection and Maintenance of EPA
Emission-Related Parts on page 48 for the
EPA emission-related parts. Inspection and
maintenance procedures not shown in the
Inspection and Maintenance of EPA
Emission-Related Parts on page 48
section are covered in Periodic
Maintenance Schedule on page 46.
This maintenance must be performed to
keep the emission values of your engine in
the standard values during the warranty
period. The warranty period is determined
by the age of the engine or the number of
hours of operation.
