Outboard Care
To keep your outboard in the best operating condition, it is
important that your outboard receive the periodic inspections and
maintenance listed in the Inspection and Maintenance
Schedule. We urge you to keep it maintained properly to ensure
the safety of you and your passengers, and retain its dependability.
Record maintenance performed in the Maintenance Log at the
back of this book. Save all maintenance work orders and receipts.
SELECTING REPLACEMENT PARTS FOR YOUR
OUTBOARD
We recommend using original Mercury Precision or Quicksilver
replacement parts and Genuine Lubricants.
EPA Regulations
All new outboards manufactured by Mercury Marine are certified
to the United States Environmental Protection Agency, as
conforming to the requirements of the regulations for the control of
air pollution from new outboard motors. 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, wherever practicable, returned to the
original intent of the design. Maintenance, replacement, or repair
of the emission control devices and systems may be performed by
any marine spark ignition (SI) engine repair establishment or
individual.
