SAFETY NOTICE Before working on any part of the outboard, read the SAFETY section at the end of this manual. This publication is written for qualified, fac- tory-trained technicians who are already familiar with the use of Evinrude/Johnson Special Tools. The included information is not a substitute for work experience. It is an organized guide for refer- ence, repair, and/or maintenance. The following symbols and/or signal words may be used in this document: Indicates an instruction which, if not followed, could severely damage engine components or other property. These safety alert signal words mean: ATTENTION! BECOME ALERT! YOUR SAFETY IS INVOLVED! IMPORTANT: Identifies information that con- trols correct assembly and operation of the prod- uct. DO NOT perform any work until you have read and understood these instructions completely. Torque wrench tightening specifications must strictly be adhered to. Should removal of any locking fastener (lock tabs, locknuts, or patch screws) be required, always replace with a new one. When replacement parts are required, use Evin- rude/Johnson Genuine Parts or parts with equiva- lent characteristics, including type, strength and material. Use of substandard parts could result in injury or product malfunction. Always wear EYE PROTECTION AND APPRO- PRIATE GLOVES when using power tools. Unless otherwise specified, engine must be OFF when performing this work. Always be aware of parts that can move, such as flywheels, propellers, etc. Some components may be HOT. Always wait for engine to cool down before performing work. If you use procedures or service tools that are not recommended in this manual, YOU ALONE must decide if your actions might injure people or dam- age the outboard. This document may be translated into other lan- guages. In the event of any discrepancy, the Eng- lish version shall prevail. A DANGER Indicates a hazardous situation which, if not avoided, will result in death or serious injury. A WARNING Indicates a hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result in death or seri- ous injury A CAUTION Indicates a hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result in minor or mod- erate personal injury. NOTICE
1 A DANGER Contact with a rotating propeller is likely to result in serious injury or death. Assure the engine and prop area is clear of people and objects before starting engine or operating boat. Do not allow anyone near a propeller, even when the engine is off. Blades can be sharp and the propeller can continue to turn even after the engine is off. Remove propeller before ser- vicing and when running the outboard on a flushing device. DO NOT run the engine indoors or without adequate ventilation or permit exhaust fumes to accumulate in confined areas. Engine exhaust contains carbon monoxide which, if inhaled, can cause serious brain damage or death. A WARNING Wear safety glasses to avoid personal injury, and set compressed air to less than 25 psi (172 kPa). The motor cover and flywheel cover are machinery guards. Use caution when conducting tests on running outboards. DO NOT wear jewelry or loose clothing. Keep hair, hands, and clothing away from rotating parts. During service, the outboard may drop unexpectedly. Avoid personal injury; always support the outboard’s weight with a suitable hoist or the tilt support bracket during service. To prevent accidental starting while servicing, disconnect the battery cables at the battery. Twist and remove all spark plug leads. The electrical system presents a serious shock hazard. DO NOT handle primary or secondary ignition components while outboard is running or flywheel is turning. Gasoline is extremely flammable and highly explosive under certain conditions. Use caution when working on any part of the fuel system. Protect against hazardous fuel spray. Before starting any fuel system service, carefully relieve fuel system pressure. Do not smoke, or allow open flames or sparks, or use electrical devices such as cellular phones in the vicinity of a fuel leak or while fueling. Keep all electrical connections clean, tight, and insulated to prevent shorting or arcing and causing an explosion. Always work in a well ventilated area. Replace any locking fastener (locknut or patch screw) if its locking feature becomes weak. Definite resistance to tightening must be felt when reusing a locking fastener. If replacement is indicated, use only authorized replacement or equivalent.
7 REFERENCE INFORMATION EMISSION-RELATED INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS 1 EMISSION-RELATED INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS Failing to follow these instructions when installing a certified engine in a vessel violates federal law (40 CFR 1068.105 (b)), subject to fines or other penalties as described in the Clean Air Act. Maintenance, replacement, or repair of the emis- sion control devices and systems may be per- formed by any marine SI (spark ignition) engine repair establishment or individual. Manufacturer’s Responsibility Beginning with 1999 model year outboards, man- ufacturers of marine outboards must determine the exhaust emission levels for each outboard horsepower family and certify these outboards with the United States of America Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). An emissions control information label, showing emission levels and outboard specifications, must be placed on each outboard at the time of manufacture. Dealer’s Responsibility When performing service on all 1999 and more recent Evinrude/Johnson outboards that carry an emissions control information label, adjustments must be kept within published factory specifica- tions. Replacement or repair of any emission related component must be executed in a manner that maintains emission levels within the prescribed certification standards. Dealers are not to modify the outboard in any manner that would alter the horsepower or allow emission levels to exceed their predetermined factory specifications. Exceptions include manufacturer’s prescribed changes, such as altitude adjustments, for exam- ple. Owner’s Responsibility The owner/operator is required to have outboard 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 outboard in any manner that would alter the horsepower or allow emis- sions levels to exceed their predetermined factory specifications. Tampering with the fuel system to change horse- power or modify emission levels beyond factory settings or specifications will void the product war- ranty. EPA Emission Regulations All new 1999 and more recent Evinrude/Johnson outboards are certified to the EPA as conforming to the requirements of the regulations for the con- trol of air pollution from new watercraft marine spark ignition outboards. 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 practical, returned to the original intent of the design. The responsibilities listed above are general and in no way a complete list- ing of the rules and regulations pertaining to the EPA requirements on exhaust emissions for marine products.
