The information and instructions to the end-users shall include at least:

  1. (1)

    a description of any special conditions or restrictions linked to the use of the engine, as noted on the EU type-approval certificate set out in Annex IV to Implementing Regulation (EU) 2017/656;

  2. (2)

    a statement indicating that the engine, including the emissions control system, shall be operated, used and maintained in accordance with the instructions provided to the end-users in order to maintain the emissions performance of the engine within the requirements applicable to the engine's category;

  3. (3)

    a statement indicating that no deliberate tampering with or misuse of the engine emissions control system should take place; in particular with regard to deactivating or not maintaining an exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) or a reagent dosing system.

  4. (4)

    a statement indicating that it is essential to take prompt action to rectify any incorrect operation, use or maintenance of the emissions control system in accordance with the rectification measures indicated by the warnings referred to in points (5) and (6);

  5. (5)

    detailed explanations of the possible malfunctions of the emissions control system generated by incorrect operation, use or maintenance of the installed engine, accompanied by the associated warning signals and the corresponding rectification measures;

  6. (6)

    detailed explanations of the possible incorrect use of the non-road mobile machinery that would result in malfunctions of the engine emissions control system, accompanied by the associated warning signals and the corresponding rectification measures;

  7. (7)

    where applicable, information on the possible use of a non-heated reagent tank and dosing system;

  8. (8)

    where applicable, a statement indicating that the engine is exclusively intended for use in snow throwers;

  9. (9)

    for non-road mobile machinery with an operator warning system, as defined in section 4 Appendix 1 of Annex IV (category: NRE, NRG, IWP, IWA or RLR) and/or section 4 of Appendix 4 of Annex IV (category: NRE, NRG, IWP, IWA or RLR) or section 3 of Appendix 3 of Annex IV (category RLL), a statement indicating that the operator will be informed by the operator warning system when the emission control system does not function correctly;

  10. (10)

    for non-road mobile machinery with an operator inducement system as defined in section 5 of Appendix 1 of Annex IV (category NRE, NRG), a statement indicating that ignoring the operator warning signals will lead to the activation of the operator inducement system, resulting in an effective disablement of non-road mobile machinery operation;

  11. (11)

    for non-road mobile machinery with an inducement override function as defined in point 5.5 of Appendix 1 of Annex IV for releasing full engine power, information about the operation of this function;

  12. (12)

    where applicable, explanations of how the operator warning and inducement systems referred to in points (9), (10) and (11) operate, including the consequences, in terms of performance and fault logging, of ignoring the warning system signals and of not replenishing, where used, the reagent or rectifying the problem identified;

  13. (13)

    where records in the on-board computer log of inadequate reagent injection or reagent quality are made in accordance with point 4.1 of Appendix 2 of Annex IV (category: IWP, IWA, RLR),an statement indicating that national inspection authorities will be able to read with a scan tool these records;

  14. (14)

    for non-road mobile machinery with a means to disable the operator inducement as defined in point 5.2.1 of Appendix 1 of Annex IV, information about the operation of this function, and a statement indicating that this function shall be only activated in case of emergencies, that any activation will be recorded in the on-board computer log and that national inspection authorities will be able to read these records with a scan tool;

  15. (15)

    information on the fuel specification(s) necessary to maintain the performance of the emissions control system following the requirements of Annex I and in consistency with the specifications set-out in the engine EU type-approval including, where available, reference to the appropriate EU or international standard, in particular:

    1. (a)

      F1where the engine is to be operated within the Union on diesel or non-road gas-oil, a statement indicating that a fuel with sulphur content not greater than 10 mg/kg (20 mg/kg at point of final distribution) cetane number not less than 45 and a FAME content not greater than 8 % v/v shall be used.

    2. (b)

      where additional fuels, fuel mixtures or fuel emulsions are compatible with use by the engine, as declared by the manufacturer and stated in the EU type-approval certificate, these shall be indicated;

  16. (16)

    information on the lubrication oil specifications necessary to maintain the performance of the emissions control system;

  17. (17)

    where the emission control system requires a reagent, the characteristics of that reagent, including the type of reagent, information on concentration when the reagent is in solution, operational temperature conditions and reference to international standards for composition and quality, consistent with the specification set-out in the engine EU type-approval.

  18. (18)

    where applicable, instructions specifying how consumable reagents have to be refilled by the operator between normal maintenance intervals. They shall indicate how the operator should refill the reagent tank and the anticipated frequency of refill, depending upon utilisation of the non-road mobile machinery.

  19. (19)

    a statement indicating that in order to maintain the emissions performance of the engine, it is essential to use and refill reagent in accordance with the specifications set out in points (17) and (18);

  20. (20)

      where a dual fuel engine has operability restrictions in a service mode as defined in point 4.2.2.1 of Annex VIII (excluding categories: IWP, IWA, RLL and RLR), a statement indicating that the activation of the service mode will result in an effective disablement of non-road mobile machinery operation,

    3. (c)

      where an inducement override function for releasing full engine power is available, information about the operation of this function shall be provided,

    4. (d)

      where a dual fuel engine operates in a service mode in accordance with point 4.2.2.2 of Annex VIII (categories: IWP, IWA, RLL and RLR), a statement indicating that the activation of the service mode will be recorded in the on-board computer log and that national inspection authorities will be able to read these records with a scan tool.
