MAINTENANCE

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 Emissions 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 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.
