Power Package Care
!
WARNING
Avoid equipment damage, serious injury or death from improper or
neglected maintenance, repairs or inspections of the power package. If
you are not familiar with proper maintenance or service procedures, have
the work performed by an authorized Mercury Marine dealer.
To ensure safety and retain dependability, keep your power package in the
best operating condition by performing the periodic inspections and
maintenance listed in the Inspection and Maintenance Schedule. Record
maintenance performed in the Maintenance Log at the back of this book.
Save all maintenance work orders and receipts.
Submerged Power Package
A submerged power package requires prompt service by an authorized
dealer after recovery. This immediate attention is necessary once the
engine is exposed to the atmosphere to minimize internal corrosion
damage to the engine.
Replacement Parts for Your Power Package
!
WARNING
Using a replacement part that is inferior to the original part could result
in personal injury, death, or product failure.
Mercury recommends using original Mercury Precision replacement parts
and lubricants.
EPA Emissions Regulations
All new outboards 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
outboard 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.
