MAINTENANCE
Maintenance, replacement, or repair of the
EPA Emission Regulations
emission control devices and systems may be
performed by any marine SI (spark ignition) en-
gine repair establishments or individual.
All new 2002 and more recent Johnson outboards
manufactured by Bombardier 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
information on this subject, you may contact the fol-
lowing locations:
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.

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
EPA INTERNET WEB SITE:
The owner/operator is required to have engine
maintenance performed to maintain emission levels
within prescribed certification standards.
www.epa.gov
WARNING
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.
Only perform service procedures which are
detailed in this Operator’s Guide. Attempt-
ing to perform maintenance or repair on
your outboard if you are not familiar with
the correct service and safety procedures
could cause injury or death.
