Maintenance schedule
General information
Your Volvo Penta engine and its equipment are designed for high reliability and long life. They are built to
withstand a marine environment, but also to have the smallest possible environmental impact. If given preventive
maintenance, according to the maintenance schedule, and if Volvo Penta original spares are used, these quali-
ties are retained and unnecessary malfunctions can be avoided.
Warranty inspection
During the first period of operation, the specified warranty inspection “First service inspection” must be done by
an authorised Volvo Penta workshop. Instructions about when and where this should be done are found in the
Warranty and service book.
