Warranty and guarantee
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 Registration Form (North American
market) or Warranty Card (other markets) should
always be filled out and sent in by the dealer. Make
sure that this has been done, if no proof of the delivery
date can be provided the warranty undertakings might
not be honored.
Maintenance and care
– PDC (Pre-Delivery Commissioning) delivery under-
taking for marine engines: “PDC” enables us to
ensure that Volvo Penta products operate correctly
after installation in a boat, and further that the end-
user gets acquainted with the product, its functions
and care (refer to checklist in the 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 company’s International Limited Warranty.
– First Service inspection: A First Service inspection
must be carried out after 150–300 running hours or
within 180 days of delivery, or at the end of the first
season, whichever comes first. Labor and material
costs in connection with the First Service Inspection
are not covered by the Volvo Penta International
Limited Guarantee (for checklist see your Warranty
and Service book).
Regular maintenance should be carried out after the
First Service Inspection in accordance with the mainte-
nance scheme in this book. Any work carried out in
addition to maintenance services should be document-
ed (refer to the Warranty and Service book).
It is an absolute condition for the Volvo Penta Interna-
tional Limited Warranty to apply that the Pre-Delivery
Commissioning and First Service Inspection have been
carried out by an authorized Volvo Penta service dealer.
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, noise levels and fuel consumption.
Regardless of whether your Volvo Penta engine is
installed in a boat used for pleasure or in commercial
operation, incorrect operation or improper maintenance
of the engine will result in disturbance or damage to the
environment.
In this instruction book there are a number of service
procedures, which, if not followed will lead to a deterio-
ration 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 exam-
ple is excessively smoky exhaust. Contact an author-
ized Volvo Penta workshop if you cannot correct the
fault yourself.
Bear in mind that most of the chemicals used around
boats are harmful to the environment if used incorrectly.
Volvo Penta recommends the use of bio-degradable
degreasing agents for all cleaning. Always dispose of
engine and transmission oil waste, old paint, degreasing
agents and cleaning residue etc. at proper disposal
areas so they do not harm the environment.
Adapt speed and distance during your boat trips so that
swell and noise generated by the boat do not disturb or
harm wildlife, moored boats, landing stages etc. Wher-
ever you land or cruise, please show consideration and
always leave the areas you visit as you would like to
find them yourself.
