Follow the MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE table and service your outboard motor accordingly. Please note, a claim for
warranty coverage will not be denied simply because the maintenance schedule for your outboard motor was not
followed. However, any part(s) that fails specifically due to lack of maintenance, or improperly performed maintenance,
would not be covered under the Distributor's Limited Warranty (U.S.) / Distributor's Warranty (CA.).
