Replacement Parts
Use of parts other than the recommended service replacement parts will void the warranty on those parts that are damaged as a
result.
Avoid fire or explosion hazard. Electrical, ignition, and fuel system components on Mercury Marine products comply with federal
and international standards to minimize risk of fire or explosion. Do not use replacement electrical or fuel system components
that do not comply with these standards. When servicing the electrical and fuel systems, properly install and tighten all
components.
Cleanliness and Care of Product
A Mercury Marine Power Product is a combination of many machined, honed, polished, and lapped surfaces with tolerances
measured in the ten thousands of an inch/mm. When any product component is serviced, care and cleanliness are important. It
should be understood that proper cleaning and protection of machined surfaces and friction areas is a part of the repair procedure.
This is considered standard shop practice even if not specifically stated.
Whenever components are removed for service, they should be retained in order. At the time of installation, they should be installed
in the same locations and with the same mating surfaces as when removed.
Personnel should not work on or under an engine that is suspended. Engines should be attached to work stands, or lowered to
ground as soon as possible.
