EPA Emissions Regulations
All new Mercury Jet Drives manufactured by Mercury Marine are
certified to the United States Environmental Protection Agency, as
conforming to the requirements of the regulations for the control of
air pollution from new Mercury Jet Drive motors. This certification
is contingent on certain adjustments set to factory standards. For
this reason, the factory procedure for servicing the product must
be strictly followed and, wherever practicable, returned to the
original intent of the design. Maintenance, replacement, or repair
of the emission control devices and systems may be performed by
any marine spark ignition (SI) engine repair establishment or
individual.
