OWNER/OPERATOR RESPONSIBILITIES
It is the operator’s responsibility to perform all safety checks, ensure that all lubrication and maintenance instruc-
tions are complied with for safe operation, and return the unit to an Authorized MerCruiser Dealer for a periodic
checkup.
Normal maintenance service and replacement parts are the responsibility of the owner/operator and as such,
are not considered defects in workmanship or material within the terms of the warranty. Individual operating hab-
its and usage contribute to the need for maintenance service.
Proper maintenance and care of your power package will assure optimum performance and dependability, and
will keep your overall operating expenses at a minimum. See your Authorized MerCruiser Dealer for service aids.
CAUTION
Except on the D-Tronic models, the injection pump lever Wide-Open-Throttle (W.O.T.) Stop Screw
adjusts the engine speed governor, and is factory set and sealed. Readjusting the governed speed and
operating above the specified RPM will cause extensive engine damage and/or failure. Removal of the
seal and/or readjustment of the governed speed is considered misuse of engine, and resulting
damages will not be covered by the limited warranty.
