Certified Engines
If you own an engine certified for any area where exhaust
emissions are regulated by law, the following is important:
Certification means that an engine type is inspected and
approved by the authorities. The engine manufacturer
guarantees that all engines manufactured of that type
correspond to the certified engine. This places special
requirements for maintenance and service as follows:
• The maintenance and service intervals
recommended by Volvo Penta must be observed.
• Only genuine Volvo Penta replacement parts may be
used.
• The servicing of ignition, timing, and fuel injection
systems must always be carried out by an authorized
Volvo Penta workshop.
• The engine must not be modified in any way except
with accessories and service kits approved by Volvo
Penta.
• No modifications to the exhaust pipes and air supply
ducts for the engine may be undertaken.
• Seals may only be broken by authorized personnel.
Otherwise the general instructions contained in the
Instruction Manual concerning operation, service, and
maintenance must be followed.
NOTE! Late or inadequate maintenance/service or the
use of spare parts other than Volvo Penta original
spare parts will invalidate Volvo Penta’s responsi-
bility for the engine specification being in accor-
dance with the certified variant.
Volvo Penta accepts no responsibility or liability
for any damage or costs arising due to the above.
