PROBLEM

Show/hide table

The emission control labels on the 2007 build 3508C, 3512, 3512C, and 3516C constant speed engines need to be replaced with labels containing corrected language and data. The design of the label that was applied at the factory did not include the Certified Fuel Rate data and did not state that the engine is to be operated at constant speed operation only. New labels will be issued and must be sent out to be applied to the engines in the field
