Doing your own maintenance and
repairs
If you plan to do your own maintenance and repairs on your
Volvo Penta products, you should purchase a set of service
manuals that pertain to your particular engine and drive.
Keep in mind, however, that there are certain tasks that
should only be performed by your Volvo Penta dealer. He
has the tools, expertise, and most current information
needed to properly perform these tasks.
“Dealer-only” maintenance items are listed in the
Mainte-
nance Schedule
.
Parts and accessories
Genuine Volvo Penta parts are the result of many hours of
strenuous testing, and fulfill Volvo Penta’s strict quality and
safety requirements. Your authorized dealer has a com-
plete line of (or may order) genuine Volvo Penta parts, ac-
cessories, coolants, and lubricants. When replacements
are required, use only Volvo Penta genuine parts.
Purchase all Volvo Penta replacement parts, accessories,
coolants, and lubricants from an authorized Volvo Penta
dealer. He has needed parts in stock for routine mainte-
nance, as well as the information needed to order special
parts and accessories for you.
Only authorized Volvo Penta dealers may purchase genu-
ine parts and accessories directly from the factory. Volvo
Penta does not sell to unauthorized dealers or retail cus-
tomers.
