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.
EMISSION CERTIFICATION LABEL
An emission certification label, showing emission levels and engine
specifications directly related to emissions, is placed on the engine at time of
manufacture.
a - Piston displacement
b - Maximum emission output for the engine family
c - Percent of fuel line permeation
d - Timing specification
e - US EPA engine family name
f - Horsepower rating
g - Engine power ‑ kilowatts
h - Idle speed (in gear)
OWNER RESPONSIBILITY
The owner/operator is required to have routine engine maintenance performed
to maintain emission levels within prescribed certification standards.
