Certified Engines
If you own an engine certified for any area where
exhaust emissions are regulated by law, the fol-
lowing is important:
Certification means that an engine type is inspected
and approved by the authorities. The engine manufac-
turer guarantees that all engines manufactured of that
type correspond to the certified engine.
This places special requirements for maintenance
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 servicing of ignition, timing, and fuel injec-
tion systems 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
supply ducts for the engine may be undertaken.
• Seals may only be broken by authorized person-
nel.
Otherwise the general instructions contained in this
Operator’s Manual concerning operation, service, and
maintenance must be followed.
NOTE! Late or inadequate maintenance/service or
the use of spare parts other than Volvo Pen-
ta original spare parts will invalidate Volvo
Penta’s responsibility for the engine specifi-
cation being in accordance with the certified
variant.
Volvo Penta accepts no responsibility or liability for
any damage or costs arising due to the above.
