0279022 EVINRUDE FRONT DOOR ASSEMBLY

General Information
The United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has issued regulations to establish emission standards and ensure that new motor vehicle engines will perform within prescribed limits. These regulations require new motor vehicle and new motor vehicle engine manufacturers to furnish maintenance instructions necessary to ensure the proper functioning of the engine within these limits. The Operation and Maintenance Manual has been prepared for this purpose.Maintenance, replacement or repair of the emission control devices and systems may be performed by any automotive repair establishment or individual using any automotive part which has been certified pursuant to EPA regulations.Authorized dealers are recommended for major maintenance and repair work as they are staffed with trained personnel, proper tools and are aware of the latest service methods and procedures. Owners and others who desire to perform their own work should purchase a Service Manual and obtain current information from their Caterpillar dealer.Customer Assistance

Emission Control
The combustion process of a diesel engine produces exhaust byproducts such as smoke (visible), hydrocarbons and oxides of nitrogen (invisible). The dark smoke emitted by a diesel engine is soot or carbon particles and even in low concentration makes the diesel exhaust highly visible and offensive to most people. Every effort must be made to eliminate smoke through proper maintenance and operation.Under certain conditions, oxides of nitrogen react with certain hydrocarbons to form smog, which can become irritating and toxic if large concentrations accumulate. Concentrations of this pollutant combined with pollution of other sources all contribute to the total air quality problem.As an engine manufacturer, our goal is to see that environmental standards are met with minimal additional complexity or cost to the product. Throughout the years, continuing research and design improvements have been directed at minimizing exhaust emissions. Caterpillar has incorporated items such as: TURBOCHARGING (if equipped) - Reduces exhaust noise and provides more air per cylinder allowing the fuel to burn more efficiently. These engines are integrally designed for turbocharging. FUEL RATIO CONTROL FOR TURBOCHARGED ENGINES - Limits the amount of fuel during acceleration to minimize smoke levels. RECOMMENDED FUELS, LUBRICATING OILS AND MAINTENANCE MANAGEMENT SCHEDULES - To assure minimum exhaust emissions.Maintenance Recommendations
Caterpillar truck engines are certified by the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to comply with smoke and gaseous emission standards prescribed by Federal laws at the time of manufacture.Efficiency of emission control and good engine performance depends on adherence to proper operation and maintenance recommendations AND use of recommended fuels and lubricating oils. It is recommended that major adjustments and repair be made by your authorized Caterpillar dealer.Various chemical fuel additives claiming to reduce visible smoke are available commercially. Although additives have been used by individuals to solve some isolated smoke problems in the field, they are not recommended for general use. Federal smoke regulations require that engines be certified without smoke depressants.Corrective steps taken immediately on discovery of worn parts, which may affect emission levels, will help ensure proper operation of emission control systems. The use of genuine Caterpillar parts is recommended. Suppliers of non-Caterpillar parts must assure the user that the use of such parts will not adversely affect emission levels.Regular maintenance intervals, along with special emphasis on the following items, are necessary to keep exhaust emissions within acceptable limits for the useful life of the engine. Refer to the Maintenance Management Schedule and Maintenance Section of this manual for details.If the engine is operating under severe conditions, adjust the maintenance schedule accordingly. See your authorized Caterpillar dealer to help analyze your specific maintenance schedule.The following is an explanation of maintenance for emission-related components. See the Maintenance Management Schedule for the specific maintenance interval for the following items. FUEL INJECTION NOZZLES - Damaged fuel nozzles will normally cause the engine to misfire, run rough and smoke. Test and replace or exchange as recommended in the Maintenance Management Schedule. Fuel nozzles can be tested by an authorized Caterpillar engine dealer. FUEL RATIO CONTROL - The fuel ratio control is a device to control the smoke emission of an engine during its operation when low inlet manifold pressure exists.During this type of operation the fuel ratio control regulates the maximum fuel injected into each cylinder. If the controlling diaphragm within the fuel ratio control should rupture, the fuel system will be restricted the same as it would be with low inlet manifold pressure.Slow engine response and low power may indicate a need for adjustment or repair. Authorized Caterpillar engine dealers are equipped with the necessary tools, personnel and procedures to perform these services. TURBOCHARGER - Check for any unusual sound or vibration in the turbocharger. Inspect inlet and exhaust piping and connections for leaks. Check bearing condition and repair or replace as necessary.Supplemental California Emission Warranty
Caterpillar warrants to the initial user and each subsequent user of diesel truck engines (powering on-highway trucks), that such engines sold by it for installation in vehicles to be registered in the State of California conform at the time of sale with regulations of the California Air Resources Board applicable at time of manufacture for the time periods and subject to the terms and conditions of the Caterpillar Warranty for Emission Related Components, Form SELF5052, set forth below. This supplemental warranty covers the following parts: * Fuel Ratio Control - diaphragm, valve* Fuel Injection System - injection nozzles, camshaft and camshaft followers, timing advance* Intake Manifold* Turbocharger System (if equipped)During the term of this supplemental warranty, Caterpillar will provide, through a Caterpillar dealer or other establishment authorized by it, diagnostic labor that leads to the determination that a Caterpillar engine emission part is defective and will repair or replace at its option all other engine components damaged as a result of the failure of such defective engine emission part.User is encouraged
