INTRODUCTION The owner/operator is not to, and should not al- low anyone to modify the engine in any manner that would alter the horsepower or allow emis- sions levels to exceed their predetermined factory specifications. EPA Emission Regulations All new 1999 and more recent SEA-DOO wa- tercrafts 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 contingent on certain adjustments being set to factory standards.
For this reason, the fac- tory 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 listing of the rules and regu- lations pertaining to the EPA requirements on ex- haust emissions for marine products.

http://www.epa.gov/otaq sbl2009-004-003 ENGINE EMISSIONS INFORMATION Manufacturer's Responsibility Beginning with 1999 model year engines, PWC manufacturers of marine engines must deter- mine the exhaust 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 Responsibility When performing service on all 1999 and more recent SEA-DOO watercrafts that carry an emis- sions 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 engine in any man- ner that would alter the horsepower or allow emis- sion levels to exceed their predetermined factory specifications. Exceptions include manufacturer's prescribed changes, such as altitude adjustments for exam- ple.
MANUAL INFORMATION MANUAL LAYOUT The manual is divided into many major sections as you can see in the main table of contents at the beginning of the manual. Each section is divided in various subsections, and again, each subsection has one or more division. Illustrations and photos show the typical construc- tion of the different assemblies and, in all cases, may not reproduce the full detail or exact shape of the parts shown. However, they represent parts which have the same or a similar function. NOTICE Most components of those vehicles are built with parts dimensioned in the metric system. Most fasteners are metric and must not be replaced by customary fasteners or vice-versa.
Mismatched or incorrect fasteners could cause damage to the vehicle or possible personal injury. Owner Responsibility The owner/operator is required to have engine maintenance performed to maintain emission levels within prescribed certification standards. smr2009-011 XI
