2006 Johnson 9.9 15 hp EL4 4-Stroke Outboard Owners Manual

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 BRP 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.

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.
