MAINTENANCE
Maintenance, replacement, or repair of the
emission control devices and systems may be
performed by any marine SI (spark ignition) en-
gine repair establishments or individual.
ENGINE EMISSIONS INFORMATION
Manufacturer’s Responsibility
Beginning with 1999 model year engines, manufac-
turers of marine engines must determine the ex-
haust emission levels for each engine horsepower
family and certify these engines with the United
States of America Environmental Protection Agen-
cy (EPA). An emissions control information label,
showing emission levels and engine specifications,
must be placed on each engine at the time of man-
ufacture.
Dealer’s Responsibility
When performing service on all
Johnson
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 cer-
tification standards.
Dealers are not to modify the engine in any manner
that would alter the horsepower or allow emission
levels to exceed their predetermined factory speci-
fications.
Exceptions include manufacturer’s prescribed
changes, such as altitude adjustments.
Owner Responsibility
The owner/operator is required to have engine
maintenance performed to maintain emission levels
within prescribed 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 lev-
els to exceed their predetermined factory specifica-
tions.
Tampering with the carburetor to change horse-
power or modify emission levels beyond factory
settings or specifications will void the product war-
ranty.
EPA Emission Regulations
All new 2002 and more recent
Johnson
outboards
manufactured by BRP US Inc. are certified to the
EPA as conforming to the requirements of the reg-
ulations for the control of air pollution from new wa-
tercraft marine spark ignition 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, re-
turned to the original intent of the design. The re-
sponsibilities listed above are general and in no
way a complete listing of the rules and regulations
pertaining to the EPA requirements on exhaust
emissions for marine products. For more detailed
