MAINTENANCE AND ADJUSTMENT 113 MAINTENANCE AND ADJUSTMENT The maintenance and adjustments outlined in this chapter must be carried out in accordance with the Periodic Maintenance Chart to keep the vehicle in good running condition. The initial maintenance is vitally important and must not be neglected. With a basic knowledge of mechanics and the proper use of tools, you should be able to carry out many of the maintenance items described in this chapter. If you lack proper experience or doubt your ability, all adjustments, maintenance, and repair work should be completed by a qualified technician. Please note that Kawasaki cannot assume any responsibility for damage resulting from incorrect or improper adjustment done by the owner. EMISSION CONTROL INFORMATION To protect the environment in which we all live, Kawasaki has incorporated crankcase emission (1) , exhaust emission (2), evaporative emission (3) control systems in compliance with applicable regulations of the United States Environmental Protection Agency and California Air Resources Board. 1. Crankcase Emission Control System This system eliminates the release of crankcase vapors into the atmosphere. Instead, the vapors are routed through a breather chamber to the intake side of the engine. While the engine is operating, the vapors are drawn into the combustion chamber, where they are burned along with the fuel and air supplied by the throttle body assembly. 2. Exhaust Emission Control System This system reduces the amount of pollutants discharged into the atmosphere by the exhaust of this vehicle. The fuel, ignition and exhaust systems of this vehicle have been carefully designed and constructed to ensure an efficient engine with low exhaust pollutant levels. 3. Evaporative Emission Control System The evaporative emission control system for this vehicle consists of low permeation fuel hoses and a fuel tank. j
