CALIFORNIA AIR RESOURCES BOARD EXPLANATION OF
YOUR CALIFORNIA EMISSION CONTROL WARRANTY
STATEMENT
YOUR WARRANTY RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS: The
California Air Resources Board is pleased to explain the emission
control system warranty on your 2001 model year and later
outboard engine. In California, new outboard engines must be
designed, built and equipped to meet the State's stringent
anti-smog standards. Mercury Marine must warrant the emission
control system on your outboard engine for the periods of time
listed below provided there has been no abuse, neglect or
improper maintenance of your outboard engine.
Your emission control system may include parts such as the
carburetor or fuel injection system, the ignition system, and
catalytic converter. Also included may be hoses, belts, connectors
and other emission-related assemblies.
Where a warrantable condition exists, Mercury Marine will repair
your outboard engine at no cost to you, including diagnosis, parts
and labor.
MANUFACTURER'S WARRANTY COVERAGE: Select emission
control parts from model year 2001 and later outboard engines are
warranted for 4 years, or for 250 hours of use, whichever occurs
first. However, warranty coverage based on the hourly period is
only permitted for outboard engines and personal watercraft
equipped with appropriate hour meters or their equivalent. If any
emission related part on your engine is defective under warranty,
the part will be repaired or replaced by Mercury Marine.
OWNER'S WARRANTY RESPONSIBILITIES: As the outboard
engine owner, you are responsible for the performance of the
required maintenance listed in the Maintenance section. Mercury
Marine recommends that you retain all receipts covering
maintenance on your outboard engine, but Mercury Marine cannot
deny warranty solely for the lack of receipts or your failure to
ensure the performance of all scheduled maintenance.
As the outboard engine owner, you should however be aware that
Mercury Marine may deny you warranty coverage if your outboard
engine or a part has failed due to abuse, neglect, improper
maintenance or unapproved modifications.
