Certified engines
It is important to be aware of the following information
if you own or run an engine that is exhaust emission
certified:
Certification means that an engine type is inspected
and approved by the authorities. The engine manu-
facturer guarantees that all engines manufactured of
that type correspond to the certified engine.
This places special requirements for mainte-
nance and service as follows:
●
The maintenance and service intervals recom-
mended by Volvo Penta must be observed.
●
Only genuine Volvo Penta replacement parts may
be used.
●
The service of injection pumps and injectors or
pump settings 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 sup-
ply ducts for the engine may be undertaken.
●
Seals may only be broken by authorized person-
nel.
Otherwise the general instructions contained in the
Operator's Manual concerning operation, service and
maintenance must be followed.
IMPORTANT! Late or inadequate maintenance/
service or the use of spare parts not approved
by Volvo Penta will invalidate AB Volvo Penta’s
responsibility for the engine specification being
in accordance with the certificated variant.
Volvo Penta accepts no responsibility or liabil-
ity for any damage or costs arising due to the
above.
