Catalytic Converter - Honda FES125/A S-wing Manual Del Propietário

CATALYTIC CONVERTER

This scooter is equipped with a catalytic
converter.
The catalytic converter contains precious
metals that serve as catalysts, promoting
chemical reactions to convert the exhaust
gasses without affecting the metals.
The catalytic converter acts on HC, CO,
and NOx. A replacement unit must be an
original Honda part or its equivalent.
The catalytic converter must operate at a
high temperature for the chemical reactions
to take place. It can set on fire any
combustible materials that come near it.
Park your scooter away from high grasses,
dry leaves, or other flammables.
A defective catalytic converter contributes
to air pollution, and can impair your
engine's performance. Follow these
guidelines to protect your scooter's
catalytic converter.
• Always use unleaded petrol. Even a small
amount of leaded petrol can contaminate
the catalyst metals, making the catalytic
converter ineffective.
• Keep the engine tuned-up.
• Have your scooter diagnosed and
repaired if it is misfiring, backfiring,
stalling or otherwise not running properly.
