EPA Emission Regulations
All new 1999 and more recent Sea-Doo water-
crafts manufactured by BRP are certified to the
EPA as conforming to the requirements of the
regulations for the control of air pollution from
new watercraft engines. This certification is con-
tingent on certain adjustments being set to factory
standards. For this reason, the factory procedure
for servicing the product must be strictly followed
and, whenever practicable, returned to the origi-
nal intent of the design.
The responsibilities listed above are general and
in no way a complete listing of the rules and regu-
lations pertaining to the EPA requirements on ex-
haust emissions for marine products. For more
