Product Responsibilities
Owner and Operator Responsibilities
It is the operator's responsibility to perform all safety checks, to ensure that all lubrication and maintenance instructions are
complied with for safe operation, and to return the unit to a Cummins MerCruiser Diesel Authorized Repair Facility for a periodic
checkup.
Normal maintenance service and replacement parts are the responsibility of the owner or operator and as such, are not considered
defects in workmanship or material within the terms of the warranty. Individual operating habits and usage contribute to the need
for maintenance service.
Proper maintenance and care of your power package will ensure optimum performance and dependability and will keep your
overall operating expenses at a minimum. See your Cummins MerCruiser Diesel Authorized Repair Facility for service aids.
Dealer Responsibilities
In general, a dealer's responsibilities to the customer include predelivery inspection and preparation such as:
•
Make certain that the power package and other equipment are in proper operating condition before delivery.
•
Make all necessary adjustments for maximum efficiency.
•
Explain and demonstrate the operation of the power package and boat.
•
Provide you with a copy of a Predelivery Inspection Checklist.
•
Fill out the Warranty Registration Card completely and mail it to the factory immediately upon sale of the new product. All
power packages must be registered for warranty purposes.
Do‑It‑Yourself Maintenance Suggestions
Present‑day marine equipment, such as your Cummins MerCruiser Diesel power package, are highly technical pieces of
machinery. Special fuel delivery systems provide greater fuel economies, but also are more complex for the untrained mechanic.
If you are one of those persons who likes to do it yourself, here are some suggestions for you.
•
Do not attempt any repairs unless you are aware of the Cautions, Warnings, and procedures required. Your safety is our
concern.
•
If you attempt to service the product yourself, we suggest you order the service manual for that model. The service manual
outlines the correct procedures to follow. It is written for the trained mechanic, so there may be procedures you do not
understand. Do not attempt repairs if you do not understand the procedures.
•
There are special tools and equipment that are required to perform some repairs. Do not attempt these repairs unless you
have these special tools and equipment. You can cause damage to the product in excess of the cost a dealer would charge
you.
•
Also, if you partially disassemble an engine or drive assembly and are unable to repair it, the dealer's mechanic must
reassemble 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 to request the repair
procedure. It is difficult for them to diagnose a problem over the telephone.
Your local Cummins MerCruiser Diesel Authorized Repair Facility is there to service your power package. They have qualified
factory‑trained mechanics.
It is recommended you have the Cummins MerCruiser Diesel Authorized Repair Facility 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.
Inspection
Inspect your power package at regular intervals to help maintain top operating performance and avoid potential problems before
they occur. Check the entire power package carefully, including all accessible engine and drive parts. For engine inspection
information, refer to the appropriate Cummins
Marine Engine Operation and Maintenance Manual
.
1. Check for loose, damaged, or missing parts, hoses, and clamps. Tighten or replace as necessary.
2. Check electrical connections and leads for damage.
3. Remove and inspect the propellers. If nicked, bent, or cracked, contact your Cummins MerCruiser Diesel Authorized Repair
Facility.
4. Repair nicks and corrosion damage on the power package exterior finish. Contact your Cummins MerCruiser Diesel
Authorized Repair Facility.
