Environmental care
All of us want to live in a clean, healthy environment.
Where we can breathe clean air, see healthy trees,
have clean water in lakes and seas, and be able to
enjoy the sunlight without fearing for our health.
Unfortunately, this is not self-evident these days, it is
something all of us must work hard for.
As a manufacturer of marine engines, Volvo Penta
has particular responsibility and for this reason, envi-
ronmental care is a core value in our product devel-
opment. Volvo Penta has a wide engine programme
these days, where considerable progress has been
made in reducing exhaust fumes, fuel consumption,
engine noise etc.
We hope that you will be want to preserve these val-
ues. Always observe the advice in the Operator's
Manual about fuel grades, operation and mainte-
nance, to avoid unnecessary environmental impact.
Please contact your Volvo Penta dealer if you notice
any changes such as increased fuel consumption or
increased exhaust smoke.
Moderate your speed and distance so that wake and
noise do not disturb or damage animal life, moored
boats, jetties etc. Leave the archipelago and harbours
in the same state you would like to find them.
Remember to always hand in drained oil, coolant,
paint and wash residue, used batteries etc. for
destruction at a recycling station.
If we all pull together, we can make a valuable con-
tribution to the environment together.
Certified engines
If you own or operate an emission certified engine it
is important to be aware of the following:
Certification means that an engine type has been
checked and approved by the relevant authority. The
engine manufacturer guarantees that all engines
made of the same type are equivalent to the certified
engine.
This makes special demands on the care and
maintenance you give your engine, as follows:
• Maintenance and service intervals recom-
mended by Volvo Penta must be complied with.
• Only by Volvo Penta approved spares may be
used.
• Service on injection pumps, pump settings and
injectors must always be done by an authorised
Volvo Penta workshop.
• The engine must not be converted or modified,
except for the accessories and service kits
which Volvo Penta has approved for the engine.
• Installation changes to the exhaust pipe and
engine air inlet ducts must not be done.
• No seals may be broken by unauthorised per-
sonnel.
The general advice in the Operator's manual about
operation, care and maintenance apply.
Late or inadequate maintenance/service or the use of
spare parts not approved by Volvo Penta will invalid-
ate AB Volvo Penta’s responsibility for the engine
specification being in accordance with the certificated
variant.
Volvo Penta accepts no responsibility or liability for
any damage or costs arising due to the above.
