MAINTENANCE
Volvo Penta components meet U.S. Coast Guard requirements for explosion-proof parts. To prevent fire and
explosion, do not substitute automotive or other non-approved parts.
Maintenance schedule ________________________________________________________
The operation, maintenance, and care of the Volvo Penta engine and power package as outlined in the owner’s
manual are the owner’s responsibility. The owner must keep records of all maintenance services performed. This
record of proper maintenance may be required to determine warranty coverage on certain repairs and should be
transferred to each subsequent owner. If you are not sure of the proper maintenance procedures, contact the Volvo
Penta Consumer Affairs Department at the address on page 85 of this document.
