A repair shop or person of the owner's choosing may maintain, replace, or repair
emission control devices and systems. These instructions do not require compo-
nents or service by BRP or authorized Evinrude dealers. Although an authorized
Evinrude dealer has the in-depth technical knowledge and tools to service Evin-
rude outboard engines, the emission-related warranty is not conditioned on the
use of an authorized Evinrude dealer or any other establishment with which BRP
has a commercial relationship.
For emission-related warranty claims, BRP is limiting the diagnosis and repair of
emission-related parts to authorized Evinrude dealers. For more information,
please refer to the US EPA EMISSION-RELATED WARRANTY contained here-
in. Proper maintenance is the owner's responsibility. A warranty claim may be de-
nied if, among other things, the owner or operator caused the problem through
improper maintenance or use.
You must follow the instructions for fuel requirements in the FUEL REQUIRE-
MENTS section of this manual. Even if gasoline containing greater than ten vol-
ume percent ethanol is readily available, the US EPA has issued a prohibition
against the use of gasoline containing greater than 10 vol% ethanol that applies
to this engine. The use of gasoline containing greater than 10 vol% ethanol with
this engine may harm the emission control system.

Beginning with 1999 model year outboards, manufacturers of marine engines
must determine the exhaust emission levels for each engine horsepower family
and certify these outboards with the United States of America Environmental Pro-
tection Agency (EPA). An emissions control information label, showing emission
levels and engine specifications, must be placed on each outboard at the time of
manufacture.
D D e e a a l l e e r r ' ' s s R R e e s s p p o o n n s s i i b b i i l l i i t t y y
When performing service on all 1999 and more recent Evinrude outboards that
carry an emissions control information label, adjustments must be kept within
published factory specifications.
Replacement or repair of any emission related component must be executed in a
manner that maintains emission levels within the prescribed certification
standards.
Dealers are not to modify the outboard in any manner that would alter the horse-
power or allow emission levels to exceed their predetermined factory
specifications.
Exceptions include manufacturer's prescribed changes, such as altitude adjust-
ments, for example.

The owner/operator is required to have engine maintenance performed to main-
tain emission levels within prescribed certification standards.
