tions for the repair of engines in standard format.

trical work described to a general standard of engineering
competence.

of the product or revised service methods introduced after
the date of publication will be provided in the form of Service
Bulletins.

General information
Certified engines
When performing service and repairs on an emissions
certified engine that is used in an environment where ex-
haust emissions are governed by law, it is important to be
aware of the following:
Certification means that an engine type is controlled and ap-
proved by the appropriate authority. The engine manufactur-
er warrants that all engines of the same type that are being
made, are equivalent to the certified engine.
The following special requirements regarding service and re-
pairs apply:
•
Service and maintenance intervals recommended by
Volvo Penta must be followed.
•
Only Volvo Penta Original Spare Parts may be used.
•
Service work on the injection pump, pump settings, and
injectors must always be carried out by an authorized
Volvo Penta workshop.
•
The engine must not be altered or modified in any way,
except for accessories and service kits approved by
Volvo Penta for that engine.
•
No modifications to the exhaust pipes and engine air in-
take pipes are allowed.
•
Any seals on the engine may not be broken by unau-
thorized persons.
For other matters, the general instructions in the Instruction
Book apply.
IMPORTANT! Neglected or substandard operation or
service, as well as use of replacement parts other
than AB Volvo Penta Original Parts will result in AB
Volvo Penta being unable to assume any liability that
the engine corresponds to the certificated engine vari-
ant.
AB Volvo Penta excludes any liability for all and any
type of damage or costs caused by the use of re-
placement parts that are not Volvo Penta Original
Parts for the product in question.
