Maintenance Schedule - Volvo Penta D3 Operator's Manual

Maintenance schedule

Your Volvo Penta engine and its equipment are designed for high reliability and long life. They are built to with-
stand the marine environment, but also to have the smallest possible environmental impact. If the engine and
drive are serviced regularly according to the schedule, these qualities will be retained and unnecessary malfunc-
tions will be avoided.
Warranty inspection
During the initial period of use a special warranty inspection - a First service inspection - must be carried out by
an authorized Volvo Penta workshop. Instructions regarding how and when this must be done can be found in the War-
ranty and service book
Extended protection for leisure use
Volvo Penta offers extended protection for marine diesel engines, including transmission, if they are only used
for leisure purposes. In order for the extended protection to be valid a special service must be carried out at the
owners expense by an authorized Volvo Penta distributor, dealer or service workshop before the end of the nor-
mal 12 month warranty period. Further instructions are contained in the Warranty and service book.
WARNING! Read the "Maintenance" chapter carefully before any maintenance work is
carried out. It contains advice on how to carry out work in a safe and proper manner.
