(a) Set and maintain the ignition timing of the engine 4 degrees retarded relative to standard timing, provided that the ignition timing shall not be retarded beyond the point that:(1) The CO emission concentration increases beyond 100 ppmv;(2) The turbocharger speed is increased beyond the maximum operating speed recommended by the manufacturer;(3) The exhaust port temperature increases beyond the manufacturer's recommended maximum operating temperature; or(4) The opacity of the emissions from the engine exhaust is equal to or greater than 20% opacity;(b) Install, operate, and maintain an elapsed time meter for each engine to indicate, in cumulative hours, the elapsed engine operating time for the previous 12 months;(c) Determine the hours of operation for each engine for the previous 12-month period on a monthly basis; and(d) Maintain records to certify that the ignition timing of the engine has been inspected and adjusted at least once every 3 years.N.H.
