Maintenance schedule
Your Volvo Penta engine and its equipment are designed for high reliability and long service life. They are built to
withstand the marine environment, and to minimise their impact on it. Given regular maintenance, as in the sche-
dule, these properties will be maintained and unnecessary malfunctions will be avoided.
Warranty inspection
During the first period of use, the specified warranty inspection, “First service inspection”, must be done at an
authorised Volvo Penta workshop. Instructions about when and how this must be done are found in the Warranty
and Service Book.
