ENGINE EMISSIONS INFORMATION
Maintenance, replacement, or repair of the emission control devices and systems may be= performed by any marine SI (spark ignition) engine repair establishment or individual.
Manufacturer’s Responsibility
Beginning with 1999 model year outboards, manufacturers 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 specifications.
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 example.
Owner’s Responsibility
The owner/operator is required to have outboard maintenance performed to maintain emission levels within prescribed certification standards.
PRODUCT REFERENCE AND ILLUSTRATIONS
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 emissions levels to exceed their predetermined factory specifications.
Tampering with the fuel system to change horsepower or modify emission levels beyond factory settings or specifications will void the product warranty.
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 control of air pollution from new watercraft marine spark ignition outboards. 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, whenever practical, 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 emissions for marine products.

SYMBOLS
Throughout this service manual, symbols are used to interpret electrical troubleshooting results or to assign values in drawings.
Electrical
When “∞” shows on the meter face, no continuity, or very high resistance, is indicated. The symbol is referred to as infinity.

When “V” follows a value on the meter face, the procedure is measuring voltage.

When “Ω” follows a value on the meter face, the procedure is measuring resistance. Ω is the symbol for ohm, the unit of measurement for resistance.

Values
When “≤” precedes a value on the meter face, the reading must be less than, or equal to, the value shown.

When “≥” precedes a value on the meter face, the reading must be greater than, or equal to, the value shown.
