Certificated Engines - Volvo Penta TAMD63L Instruction Book

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.
Maintenance and care
– PDC (Pre-Delivery Commissioning) delivery under-
taking for marine engines: The Pre-delivery Com-
missioning procedure ensures that Volvo Penta
products operate correctly after installation. It also
ensures that the new owner is given a proper intro-
duction to the use and care of the product (refer to
the Warranty and Service Handbook for a Check-
list). The delivery undertaking "PDC" is carried out
at the time of the delivery of the boat to the end-
user. There is no charge for the work undertaken
which is covered by the Volvo Penta International
Limited Guarantee.
– First Service inspection: A first service inspec-
tion must be carried out after running the engine
for 100 hours (TAMD63, TAMD73 and TAMD74)
or 150–300 hours (TAMD71) or within 180 days
from the date of delivery or the end of the first sea-
son, whichever comes first. Labor and material
costs in connection with the First Service Inspec-
tion are not covered by the Volvo Penta Interna-
tional 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 scheme 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 Guarantee to apply that the Pre-De-
livery Commissioning and First Service Inspection
have been carried out by an authorized Volvo Penta
service dealer.

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 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 drive/reverse gear complete type
designation and serial number. You will find this infor-
mation on the engine product plate and on a decal on
the front valve cover (see page 8).

Certificated engines

If you own an engine certificated for any area
where exhaust emissions are regulated by law,
the following is important:
Certification means that an engine type is inspected
and approved by the authorities. The engine manu-
facturer guarantees that all engines manufactured of
that type correspond to the certified engine.
This places special requirements for mainte-
nance and service as follows:
The maintenance and service intervals recom-
mended by Volvo Penta must be observed.
Only genuine Volvo Penta replacement parts may
be used.
The service of injection pumps and injectors or
pump settings must always be carried out by an
authorized Volvo Penta workshop.
The engine must not be modified in any way
except with accessories and service kits approved
by Volvo Penta.
No modifications to the exhaust pipes and air
supply ducts for the engine may be undertaken.
Seals may only be broken by authorized person-
nel.
