MARINE ENGINE LIMITED WARRANTY

NOTICE: This P.E.R., Inc. Limited Warranty outlines your warranty rights and responsibilities and the rights and responsibilities of P.E.R., Inc.

INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS AND RECOMMENDATIONS

Your engine has been remanufactured by precision workmen to rigid specifications and tolerances, using quality replacement parts. By following the steps outlined in this limited warranty, you can ensure your engine a longer, trouble-free life and protect your warranty.

STEP ONE: SELECTING YOUR INSTALLER

This engine has been carefully remanufactured to precision standards. If certain steps are taken by the person making the installation, it will perform properly.

An engine is a complex component that requires a high degree of technical knowledge to install. Before an engine can be properly installed, it is recommended that the installer be ASE certified or have equivalent credentials.

If a properly remanufactured engine fails to perform satisfactorily, it can be due to detonation, preignition or “lugging,” overheating or excessively rich air-fuel ratio, under-lubrication, dirt, coolant seepage, or ineffective air filtering. The above-mentioned reasons for failure are under the control of the installing mechanic/technician, and are not the responsibility of the engine remanufacturer.

Another important factor is that your installers have the proper engine diagnostic equipment. Be certain the equipment is capable of diagnosing emissions, ignition, fuel systems and sensors.

CAUTION: This partial list of recommended installation procedures and instructions are intended only as a guide. If you are not qualified to perform an installation, do not attempt it, as you may be liable for resulting engine failure.

To avoid harmful contamination, thoroughly clean parts that will be attached to the rebuilt/remanufactured engine. Also, any and all parts not included with a remanufactured engine or engine component should be cleaned properly before installing on a new remanufactured engine.

Look for a clean work environment at your installer. Cleanliness is essential in an engine installation. Neat and orderly shops often produce the best workmanship.

STEP TWO: REPLACING YOUR ENGINE

· Check for freight damage or dirt contamination, which could occur during shipping.

· Check application of product. Make sure the mounting holes, bell housing, crankshaft snout, flywheel mounting flange, bolt hole patterns, pilot shaft hole, etc., are the same on new products as the old.

· Clean all accessories to be transferred to the new product from the old one. Be certain the intake manifold is straight and not warped.

Other procedures may be necessary to ensure proper engine operations.

Other operating systems in your boat may need to be checked, particularly if they may have been responsible for or contributed to the failure of the original engine.

The radiator may need replacing and/or cleaning. Air-filtering systems, pollution control components, sensors, injectors, and vacuum-operated devices may need attention as well as oil coolers.

Rely on your installer for advice on these items. They have the expertise and equipment to properly diagnose and will do so as a matter of procedure. Do not take short cuts, as it will only cause greater expense and inconvenience in the future.

STEP THREE: REPLACING PARTS

Replace recommended parts, and then follow up with your installer to thoroughly check other parts, which may have contributed to the original failure.

Your remanufactured engine should begin operation under the same conditions as the original engine. It is recommended that the below listed parts be replaced.

Spark Plugs Thermostat Crankcase Inlet Filter

Air Filter PCV Valve Fuel Pump

Fuel Filter Oil Filter Oil Sending Unit

Pick-up Screen Lifters

It is highly recommended that you replace or thoroughly test and inspect the following parts.

Carburetor Distributor Harmonic Balancer (Sleeve)

Water Pump All Belts Radiator Cap

High Tension Wires Map Sensors All Hoses

Oxygen, Temperature Sensors Injectors Throttle Position Sensors

Now is the easiest time to replace these parts. If these replacements are performed now, future labor expenses and inconvenience will be avoided.

STEP FOUR: CHECK-UPS

Have engine analyzed on an engine diagnostic scope before leaving the shop.

For the first 4-5 hours, avoid sustained high-speed driving or carrying of heavy loads.

A check up is required after the first 10 hours to protect your warranty. At this time check ignition timing, change oil and filter, adjust the carburetor and idle speed, inspect for oil and water leaks, and check the general operation of the engine. Check up costs is the responsibility of the boat owner.

STEP FIVE: MAINTAINING AT REGULAR INTERVALS

Perform routine maintenance on your boat on a consistent basis. Your warranty requires the routine engine maintenance be performed according to manufactures specifications – see owner’s manual.

Keep all maintenance records. We recommend that you keep all receipts and accurate records for maintenance work performed on your boat. In order to have repairs made under warranty, we require documentation of proper boat maintenance as outlined in Factory Warranty and Boat Owner’s Manual.

STEP SIX: WARRANTY REGISTRATION

Return your completed warranty registration, which is provided with your engine, to the factory within ten days of installation. Read and make certain you understand the terms and conditions of your warranty.
