2.6 Our joint responsibility

Volvo Penta continually commits a considerable part of its development resources towards minimizing
the environmental impact of its products. Examples of areas where we are always looking for improve-
ments are exhaust emissions, noise levels and fuel consumption.
Regardless of where your Volvo Penta engine is installed, incorrect operation or improper mainte-
nance of the engine will result in disturbance or damage to the environment.
In this instruction book there are a number of service procedures, which, if not followed will lead to a
deterioration of engine characteristics with regard to how it effects the environment, its service life and
cost of operation. Always follow the recommended service intervals and make a habit of checking that
the engine is operating normally every time you use it. One example is excessively smoky exhaust.
Contact an authorized Volvo Penta workshop if you cannot correct the fault yourself.
Bear in mind that most of the chemicals used around boats are harmful to the environment if used in-
correctly. Volvo Penta recommends the use of bio-degradable degreasing agents for all cleaning. Al-
ways dispose of engine and transmission oil waste, old paint, degreasing agents and cleaning residue
etc. at proper disposal areas so they do not harm the environment.

2.7 Warranty and guarantee

A Service and Warranty book with conditions for Volvo Penta's International Limited Warranty is sup-
plied with every engine. Contact your nearest Volvo Penta dealer or importer for your copy if you have
not received one.
Some markets can have other warranty conditions depending on national legislation and regulations.
These conditions are provided by the Volvo Penta importer or distributor for the market in question. If
you wish to have a copy of the conditions please contact your local Volvo Penta representative.

2.8 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, if no proof of the deliv-
ery date can be provided the warranty undertakings might not be honored.

2.9 Volvo Penta Service

Volvo Penta has a comprehensive dealer network that offers both service and spare parts for Volvo
Penta engines. These dealers have been carefully selected and trained to provide professional assist-
ance for service and repairs. They also have the special tools and testing equipment required for
maintaining a high standard of service. 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 complete type designation and serial
number. You will find this information on the engine product plate and on a label on the front valve cov-
er (see chap. 3.1).
