ENGINE EMISSIONS INFORMATION
Manufacturer's
Responsibility
Beginning with 1999 model year en-
gines, PWC manufacturers of marine
engines must determine the exhaust
emission levels for each engine horse-
power family and certify these engines
with the United States of America En-
vironmental Protection Agency (EPA).
An emissions control information label,
showing emission levels and engine
specifications, must be placed on each
watercraft at the time of manufacture.
Dealer's Responsibility
When performing service on all 1999
and more recent Sea-Doo watercraft
that carry an emissions control infor-
mation label, adjustments must be
kept within published factory specifi-
cations.
Replacement or repair of any emission
related component must be executed
in a manner that maintains emission
levels within the prescribed certifica-
tion standards.
Dealers are not to modify the engine in
any manner that would alter the horse-
power or allow emission levels to ex-
ceed their predetermined factory spec-
ifications.
Exceptions include manufacturer's
prescribed changes, such as altitude
adjustments for example.
Owner Responsibility
The owner/operator is required to have
engine maintenance performed to
maintain emission levels within pre-
scribed certification standards.
The owner/operator is not to, and
should not allow anyone to modify the
engine in any manner that would alter
the horsepower or allow emissions
levels to exceed their predetermined
factory specifications.
EPA Emission Regulations
All 1999 and more recent Sea-Doo
watercraft manufactured by BRP are
certified to the EPA as conforming to
the requirements of the regulations for
the control of air pollution from new
watercraft engines. This certification
is contingent on certain adjustments
being set to factory standards. For
this reason, the factory procedure for
servicing the product must be strictly
followed and, whenever practicable,
returned to the original intent of the
design.
The responsibilities listed above are
general and in no way a complete list-
ing of the rules and regulations per-
taining to the EPA requirements on
exhaust emissions for marine prod-
ucts. For more detailed information on
this subject, you may contact:

EVAPORATIVE EMISSION
CONTROL SYSTEM
Starting with MY2018; personal water-
craft sold in the State of California are
certified to the California evaporative
emissions regulations for spark igni-
tion marine watercraft of the California
Air Resources Board (13 CCR 2850 to
2869). These models are equipped
with an evaporative emission control
system consisting of Low Permeation
Fuel Tank (LPFT), Low Permeation Fuel
Line (LPFL) and a Pressure Relief Valve
(PRV).
