1 Hydrocarbons: certified by EPA to a Family Emissions Limit (FEL) of 15 g/kW-hr or less.
2 Carbon Monoxide: certified by EPA to a Family Emissions Limit (FEL) of 120 g/kW-hr or less. Air emission figures for carbon monoxide and hydrocarbons presented are either the Official Test Results (OTR) or the certified FEL. The Official Test Results are actual measured emissions. The FEL’s are not-to-exceed levels as certified by EPA.
3 Society of Automotive Engineers testing procedures allow for a 2 dB tolerance over the sound level limit to provide for variations in test site, temperature gradients, wind velocity gradients, test equipment, and inherent differences in nominally identical vehicles. (It has been observed that under some test site conditions, variability in test results greater than 2 dB can be experienced.) Sound emission figures represent an average of Official Test Results.
4 YellowstoneBAT certificationfor all 2004 year model snowmobiles will expire at the end of the 2009-2010 winter.Once approved, a snowmobile would generally be certified in Yellowstone as BAT for a period of six years. On Jackson Lake in Grand Teton, a snowmobile would be certified as BAT for six years or 6,000 miles, whichever is greater, not to exceed 10 years regardless of mileage (see below list for snowmobiles continue to be authorized for use on Jackson Lake).
5 The 2004 Bombardier Ski-Doo Elite SE and the 2004-2005 Legend Sport GT V1000 must be equipped with BAT upgrade kits in order to meet BAT requirements. The upgrade kits lowers emissions levels by controlling the maximum throttle body opening and uses different software for the snowmobile’s electronic control unit.
