Volvo IPS650, Installation Manual

Certified engines
A certified engine means that the engine manufac-
turer guarantees that both new engines and those in
operation fulfill legislation and regulations. The engine
must correspond to the unit used for certification. In
order for Volvo Penta to be able to declare that
engines fulfill environmental legislation, the following
must be observed during installation:
• Service on injection pumps, pump settings and
injectors must always be carried out by an
authorized Volvo Penta workshop.
• The engine may not be modified in any way
except with accessories and service kits devel-
oped for the purpose by Volvo Penta.
• The installation of exhaust pipes and air intakes
(ventilation ducts) in the engine compartment
must be carefully planned as their design may
influence exhaust emissions.
• Seals may only be broken by authorized per-
sonnel.
IMPORTANT!
Only use genuine Volvo Penta parts. If non-Volvo
Penta parts are used it will mean that Volvo Penta
is no longer able to take responsibility for the
engine fulfilling certification requirements.
Volvo
Penta will not reimburse damages and costs arising
from the use of non-Volvo Penta spare parts.
Seaworthiness
It is the responsibility of the boat builder to meet all
safety requirements applicable in the market where
the boat is sold. For example, in the U.S.A.
US Fed-
eral Regulations for pleasure boats specify require-
ments. Requirements applicable in the EU are descri-
bed below. In other markets, contact the competent
national authority for information and detailed descrip-
tions of safety requirements.
From June 16 1998, all leisure craft and certain asso-
ciated equipment that is marketed and used within the
EU must be provided with a CE label confirming ful-
fillment of safety requirements established by the
European Parliament and European commission in
the Recreational Craft Directive. These normative
standards are reflected in the standards established
in support of the directive's objective regarding uni-
form safety requirements for leisure craft within the
EU.
Lifeboats and boats used in commercial navigation
are approved by classification societies in the country
where the boat is registered.
Mutual responsibility
Every engine consists of a large number of compo-
nents working in unison. If one component deviates
from technical specifications it may lead to the engine
having a significantly greater impact on the environ-
ment. It is therefore essential that adjustable systems
are set correctly and that genuine Volvo Penta parts
are used.
Certain systems (e.g. the fuel system) may require
special professional expertise and test equipment.
For environmental reasons, some components are
factory sealed. No work may be performed on sealed
parts by unauthorized personnel.
Remember that most chemical products can harm the
environment if they are used in the wrong manner.
Volvo Penta recommends the use of bio-degradable
de-greasing agents for cleaning engine components,
unless the service manual states otherwise. When
working onboard take especial care to ensure that oil
and spills are collected for handing to a re-cycling sta-
tion and not unintentionally pumped into the environ-
ment with bilgewater.
