INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE

Care of your outboard motor
To keep your outboard motor in the
best operating condition, it is very
important that you perform daily and
periodic maintenance as suggested
in the maintenance schedules that
follow.
CAUTION
!
● Your personal safety and that of your
passengers depends on how well
you maintain your outboard motor.
Carefully observe all of the inspec-
tion and maintenance procedures
described in this section.
● The maintenance intervals shown in
the checklist apply to an outboard
motor in normal use. If you use your
outboard motor under severe condi-
tions such as frequent full-throttle op-
eration, frequent operation in brack-
ish water, or for commercial use,
maintenance should be performed at
shorter intervals. If in doubt, consult
your dealer for advice.
● We strongly recommend that you
use only genuine replacement parts
on your outboard motor. Damage to
your outboard motor arising from the
use of other than genuine parts is not
covered under the warranty.
INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE
EPA Emissions Regulations
EPA (United States Environmental
Protection Agency) has emission
regulations regulating air pollution
from new outboard motors. All new
outboard motors manufactured by us
are certified to EPA as conforming to
the requirements of the regulations.
This cer tification depends upon
factory standards. Therefore, factory
specifications must be followed when
servicing emission related controls,
or making adjustments. Maintenance,
replacement, or repair of the emission
control devices and systems may be
performed by any marine SI (Spark
Ignition) engine repair establishment
or individual.
