Maintenance Schedule
The operation, maintenance, and care of the Volvo Penta engine and power package as outlined in this manual
are the owner’s responsibility. The owner must keep records of all maintenance services performed. This record
of proper maintenance may be required to determine warranty coverage on certain repairs and should be
transferred to each subsequent owner. If you are not sure of the proper maintenance procedures, contact the
Volvo Penta Consumer Affairs Department at the address provided in the front of this manual.
In addition to the maintenance routines outlined on these pages, we recommend that you return your Volvo
Penta product to your authorized Volvo Penta dealer for a 20-hour check. For additional information, see First
Service Inspection (Dealer 20-Hour Check) on page 63.
WARNING! To prevent fire or explosion, Volvo Penta ignition components meet U.S. Coast Guard re-
quirements for external ignition proof parts. Do not substitute automotive or other non-approved
parts.
