designed, built, and certified to conform
with the EPA and California emission regu-
lations. Whenever requesting mainte-
nance, use of Tohatsu Genuine parts is
highly recommended. Tohatsu Genuine
parts constitute replacement parts manu-
factured to the same high standards as the
original parts, thus guaranteeing uninter-

than Tohatsu Genuine parts could jeopar-
dize the effectiveness of the emission con-
trol system.

replacement parts will not adversely affect
