Warranty Registration Card
The Warranty Registration Form (North American
market) or Warranty Card (other markets) should al-
ways be filled out and sent in by the dealer. Make
sure that this has been done, since refusal of warran-
ty can occur if no proof of the delivery date can be
provided.
They also have the special tools and testing equip-
ment required for maintaining a high standard of ser-
vice. Volvo Penta dealers and vendors must maintain
a stock of original spare parts and accessories to
cover most requirements of Volvo Penta owners.
When ordering a service or spare parts always quote
the engine and reverse gear complete type designa-
tion and serial number. You will find this information
on the engine product plate and on a label on the
front valve cover (see page 8).
Certificated engines
Important information for engines certificated for
Lake Constance and Switzerland
All Volvo Penta engines and products are developed
to minimize environmental impact.
National and regional legislation is not identical in all
the markets where Volvo Penta sells its products.
Occasionally legislation requires that we build special
engine variants, or that an engine must be approved
in advance, that is, certificated by the local authori-
ties.
An engine with certification means that we, as the
manufacturer, guarantee that all engines manufac-
tured are of the same type as the certificated and ap-
proved example. Certification is not only a require-
ment covering engines from the factory, but also that
engines in use must meet the environmental de-
mands set for that engine. In order for Volvo Penta
as the manufacturer to take responsibility for engines
in use, certain requirements pertaining to service and
spare parts must be met. We do not wish to discour-
age owners from carrying out service work them-
selves, rather the opposite since an owner can quick-
ly notice if an engine is not operating normally.
However, a number of service operations demand
access to special expertise, workshop manuals, spe-
cial tools and other equipment designed for the en-
gines. These service operations may only be carried
out by an authorized Volvo Penta Service workshop.
Always contact your Volvo Penta dealer if you are
not sure about anything concerning your engine’s
function or maintenance.
Maintenance and care
– PDC (Pre-Delivery Commissioning) delivery un-
dertaking for marine engines: “PDC” enables us to
ensure that Volvo Penta products operate correct-
ly after installation in a boat, and further that the
end-user gets acquainted with the product, its
functions and care (refer to checklist in the War-
ranty and Service book). Delivery undertaking
“PDC” is carried out at the time of the delivery of
the boat to the end-user. The cost of this work is
covered by the Volvo Penta company’s Interna-
tional Limited Warranty.
– First Service Inspection: A first service inspec-
tion should be carried out after running the engine
for 100 hours (TAMD63 and TAMD72) or 150–300
hours (TAMD71) or within 180 days from the date
of delivery or the end of the first season, whichev-
er comes first. Labor and material costs in connec-
tion with the First Service Inspection are not cov-
ered by the Volvo Penta International Limited
Guarantee (for checklist see your Warranty and
Service book).
Regular maintenance should be carried out after the
First Service Inspection in accordance with the main-
tenance schedule in this book. Any work carried out
in addition to maintenance services should be docu-
mented (refer to the Warranty and Service book).
It is an absolute condition for the Volvo Penta Inter-
national Limited Warranty to apply that the Pre-Deliv-
ery Commissioning and First Service Inspection have
been carried out by an authorized Volvo Penta ser-
vice dealer.
