Engine Emissions
Information
Manufacturer's Responsibility
Beginning with 1999 model year en-
gines, PWC manufacturers of ma-
rine engines must determine the ex-
haust emission levels for each engine
horsepower family and certify these
engines with the United States of
America
Environmental
Protection
Agency (EPA). An emissions control
information label, showing emission
levels and engine specifications, must
be placed on each vehicle at the time
of manufacture.
Dealer's Responsibility
When performing service on all 1999
and more recent Sea-Doo watercrafts
that carry an emissions control infor-
mation label, adjustments must be
kept within published factory specifi-
cations.
Replacement or repair of any emission
related component must be executed
in a manner that maintains emission
levels within the prescribed certifica-
tion standards.
Dealers are not to modify the engine
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 Responsibility
The owner/operator is required to
have engine maintenance performed
to maintain emission levels within pre-
scribed 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 specifications.
EPA Emission Regulations
All
new
1999
and
more
recent
Sea-Doo
watercraft
manufactured
by Bombardier Recreational Products
Inc. (BRP) are certified to the EPA
as conforming to the requirements
of the regulations for the control of
air pollution from new watercraft en-
gines. 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 practicable, 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 per-
taining to the EPA requirements on ex-
haust emissions for marine products.
