MAINTENANCE
Maintenance, replacement or repair of the emis-
EPA Emission Regulations
sion control devices and systems may be per-
formed by any marine SI (spark ignition) engine
repair establishments or individual.
All new 2002 and more recent Johnson outboards
manufactured by BMCA are certified to the EPA as
conforming to the requirements of the regulations
for the control of air pollution from new watercraft
marine spark ignition engines. This certification is
contingent on certain adjustments being set to fac-
tory standards. For this reason, the factory proce-
dure for servicing the product must be strictly
followed and, whenever practicable, returned to the
original intent of the design. The responsibilities list-
ed above are general and in no way a complete list-
ing of the rules and regulations pertaining to the
EPA requirements on exhaust emissions for marine
products. For more detailed information on this sub-
ject, you may contact the following 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.

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, for exam-
ple.

Owner Responsibility
The owner/operator is required to have engine
maintenance performed to maintain emission levels
within prescribed certification standards.
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.
