Our joint responsibility
Volvo Penta continually commits a considerable part
of its development resources towards minimizing the
environmental impact of its products. Examples of
areas where we are always looking for improvements
are; exhaust emissions, sound levels and fuel con-
sumption.
Regardless of whether your Volvo Penta engine is
installed in a boat used for pleasure or in commerci-
al operation, incorrect operation or improper main-
tenance of the engine will result in disturbance or
damage to the environment.
In this instruction book there are a number of servi-
ce procedures, which, if not followed will lead to a
deterioration of engine characteristics with regard to
how it effects the environment, its service life and
cost of operation. Always follow the recommended
service intervals and make a habit of checking that
the engine is operating normally every time you use
it. One example is excessively smoky exhaust.
Contact an authorized Volvo Penta workshop if you
cannot correct the fault yourself.
Bear in mind that most of the chemicals used aro-
und boats are harmful to the environment if used in-
correctly. Volvo Penta recommends the use of bio-
degradable degreasing agents for all cleaning.
Always dispose of engine and transmission oil was-
te, old paint, degreasing agents and cleaning resi-
due etc. at proper disposal areas so they do not
harm the environment.
Adapt speed and distance during your boat trips so
that swell and noisegenerated by the boat do not
disturb or harm wildlife, moored boats, landing sta-
ges etc. Wherever you land or cruise, please show
consideration and always leave the areas you visit
as you would like to find them yourself.
Warranty
A Service and Warranty book with conditions for
Volvo Penta’s International Limited Warranty is
supplied with every engine. Contact your nearest
Volvo Penta dealer or importer for your copy if you
have not received one.
Some markets can have other warranty conditions
depending on national legislation and regulations.
These conditions are provided by the Volvo Penta
importer or distributor for the market in question. If
you wish to have a copy of the conditions please
contact your local Volvo Penta representative.
Warranty Registration Card
The Warranty Card must always be completed and
returned to the dealer. Make sure that this has been
done since warranty obligations may not be honored
if the delivery date cannot be confirmed.
Maintenance and care
— PDC (pre-delivery commissioning) undertaking,
for marine engines: PDC enables us to ensure that
Volvo Penta products operate correctly after instal-
lation in a boat, and further that the end-user gets
acquainted with the product, its functions and care
(for checklist see your Warranty and Service book).
Delivery undertaking “PDC“ is carried out at the time
of the delivery of the boat to the end-user. The cost
of this work is covered by the Volvo Penta Interna-
tional Limited Warranty.
— First Service inspection, for marine engines: A
first Service Inspection must be carried out after
operating the engine for 20-50 hours or within 180
days from the delivery date, or the end of the first
season, whichever occurs first. Labor and material
costs in connection with the First Service Inspec-
tion are not covered by the Volvo Penta Internatio-
nal Limited Warranty (for checklist see your Warran-
ty and Service book).
Regular maintenance should be carried out after the
First Service Inspection in accordance with the
maintenance plan in this book. Any work carried out
in addition to maintenance services should be docu-
mented (refer to the Warranty and Service book)
It is an absolute condition for the Volvo Penta Inter-
national Limited Warranty to apply that the PDC
Delivery undertaking and First Service Inspection
have been carried out by an authorized Volvo Penta
Service workshop.
Volvo Penta Service
Volvo Penta has a comprehensive dealer network
that offers both service and spare parts for Volvo
Penta engines. Volvo Penta dealers are carefully
selected and then trained in order to provide custo-
mers with professional assistance on engine servi-
ce and repairs. These dealers have the special
tools required to carry out the work and the test
equipment that ensures a high service standard.
They are required to keep a stock of Volvo Penta
Original Spare Parts and accessories that cover
most requirements. When ordering service or spare
parts always quote the complete engine and/or
drive/reverse gear model designation and serial
number. These are stated on the engine product
plate and on a label on the engine valve cover.
