ENGINE EMISSIONS
INFORMATION
Manufacturer’s Responsibility
Beginning with 1999 model year engines, PWC
manufacturers of marine engines must determine
the exhaust emission levels for each engine horse-
power family and certify these engines with the
United States of America Environmental Protec-
tion Agency (EPA). An emissions control informa-
tion label, showing emission levels and engine
specifications, must be placed on each vehicle at
the time of manufacture.
Dealer Responsibility
When performing service on all 1999 and more re-
cent Sea-Doo watercrafts that carry an emissions
control information label, adjustments must be
kept within published factory specifications.
Replacement or repair of any emission related com-
ponent must be executed in a manner that main-
tains emission levels within the prescribed certifi-
cation standards.
Dealers are not to modify the engine in any man-
ner that would alter the horsepower or allow emis-
sion levels to exceed their predetermined factory
specifications.
Exceptions include manufacturer’s prescribed
changes, such as altitude adjustments for exam-
ple.
Owner Responsibility
The owner/operator is required to have engine
maintenance performed to maintain emission lev-
els within prescribed certification standards.
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
levels to exceed their predetermined factory spec-
ifications.
EPA Emission Regulations
All new 1999 and more recent Sea-Doo watercrafts
manufactured by Bombardier are certified to the
EPA as conforming to the requirements of the reg-
ulations for the control of air pollution from new wa-
tercraft engines. 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, whenev-
er practicable, returned to the original intent of the
design.
The responsibilities listed above are general and in no
way a complete listing of the rules and regulations
pertaining to the EPA requirements on exhaust emis-
sions for marine products. For more detailed informa-
tion on this subject, you may contact the following
