MAINTENANCE
41
• Do not attempt any repairs that are not covered in this manual
unless you are aware of the precautions (Cautions and
Warnings) and procedures required. Your safety is of our
concern.
• If you attempt to service the product yourself, we suggest you
order the service manual for that model. This manual outlines
the correct procedures to follow. It is written for the trained
mechanic, so there may be procedures you don't understand.
Do not attempt repairs if you do not understand the
procedures.
• Special tools and equipment may be required to perform some
repairs. Do not attempt these repairs unless you have these
special tools and/or equipment. You can cause damage to the
product in excess of the cost a dealer would charge you for
the repair.
• If you partially disassemble an engine or drive assembly and
are unable to repair it, the dealer's mechanic must
re‑assemble the components and test to determine the
problem. This will cost you more than taking it to the dealer
immediately upon having a problem. It may be a very simple
adjustment to correct the problem.
• Do not telephone the dealer, service office or the factory to
attempt for them to diagnose a problem or request the repair
procedure. It is difficult for them to diagnose a problem over
the telephone.
• Your authorized Mercury Marine dealer is there to service your
power package. They have qualified factory‑trained
mechanics.
Mercury Marine recommends that you have the dealer do periodic
maintenance checks on your power package. Have them winterize
it in the fall and service it before the boating season. This will
reduce the possibility of any problems occurring during your
boating season when you want trouble‑free boating pleasure.
