Maintenance schedule
Your Volvo Penta engine and associated equipment is designed to provide high operational reliability and long
service life. They are constructed to withstand the marine environment while also affecting it as little as possible.
Preventive maintenance in accordance with the maintenance schedule will ensure that it retains these qualities
and avoid unnecessary operational disturbances.

The prescribed warranty inspection “First Service Inspection” must be carried out at an authorised Volvo Penta
workshop during this first period of operation. Directions for when and how this is to be carried out can be found
in the Warranty and Service Book.
