Certified engines
For those of you who own an emissions-certified
engine that is used in an area where exhaust emis-
sions are legally regulated, it is important to re-
cognize the following:
A certification signifies that an engine type has been
inspected and approved by the authorities in question.
The manufacturer of the engine guarantees that all
engines of the same type will match the engine that
was certified.
This places the following special requirements
upon the maintenance and service that you per-
form on your engine:
•
Maintenance and service intervals recommended
by Volvo Penta must be followed.
•
Only Volvo Penta original parts may be used.
•
Service on the injector pumps, pump settings and
injectors must always be performed by an
authorized Volvo Penta repair facility.
•
The engine may not be rebuilt or modified with the
exception of accessories and service kits
developed by Volvo Penta for the engine.
•
No changes may be made to the engine’s exhaust
or intake air systems.
•
No seals may be broken by non-authorized
personnel.
In all other cases follow the advice in the instruction
book regarding operation, maintenance and service.
IMPORTANT! In cases of neglected or deficient
maintenance/service as well as use of non-origi-
nal parts AB Volvo Penta will no longer be able
to assure that the engine meets conditions of
certification.
Volvo Penta will not settle damages and/or costs
associated with such instances.
