  • issued after September 1, 1971, shall be either
  • 2 years after the date on which such standard or
  • amendment is published in the rules and
    regulations section of the Federal Register
  • the effective date specified in the notice
    (whichever is later)

4

    and injuries resulting from engine over-speed
    caused by malfunctions in the accelerator control
    system

20
Standard 125
Warning Devices
