Emission Certification Star Label - Mercury 40 FourStroke Tiller Handle Operation Maintenance Warranty Installation Manual

Where a warrantable condition exists, Mercury Marine will repair your outboard
engine at no cost to you, including diagnosis, parts, and labor.
MANUFACTURER'S WARRANTY COVERAGE: Select emission control parts
from model year 2001 and later outboard engines are warranted for four (4)
years, or for 250 hours of use, whichever occurs first. However, warranty
coverage based on the hourly period is only permitted for outboard engines and
personal watercraft equipped with hour meters as defined in s 2441(a)(13) or
their equivalent. If any emission‑related part on your engine is defective under
warranty, the part will be repaired or replaced by Mercury Marine.
OWNER'S WARRANTY RESPONSIBILITIES: As the outboard engine owner,
you are responsible for the performance of the required maintenance listed in
the Maintenance section. Mercury Marine recommends that you retain all
receipts covering maintenance on your outboard engine, but Mercury Marine
cannot deny warranty solely for the lack of receipts or your failure to ensure the
performance of all scheduled maintenance.
As the outboard engine owner, you should, however, be aware that Mercury
Marine may deny you warranty coverage if your outboard engine or a part has
failed due to abuse, neglect, improper maintenance, or unapproved
modifications.
You are responsible for presenting your outboard to a Mercury dealer
authorized to service the product as soon as a problem exists. The warranty
repairs will be completed in a reasonable amount of time, not to exceed 30
days.
If you have any questions regarding your warranty rights and responsibilities,
you should contact Mercury Marine at 1‑920‑929‑5040.
