Certified Engines - Volvo TD420VE Operator's Manual

Certified engines

If you own an emission certified engine, which
is used in an area where exhaust emissions are
regulated by law, it is important to be aware of the
following:
Certification means that an engine type has been
checked and approved by the relevant authority. The
engine manufacturer guarantees that all engines
made of the same type are equivalent to the certified
engine.
This makes special demands on the care and
maintenance you give your engine, as follows:
•
Maintenance and service intervals recommended
by Volvo Penta must be complied with.
•
Only Volvo Penta original spares may be used.
•
Service to injection pumps, pump settings and
injectors must always be done by an authorized
Volvo Penta workshop.
Warranty
Your new Volvo Penta industrial engine is covered by a limited warranty, under the conditions and in-
structions compiled in the Warranty and Service book.
Please note that AB Volvo Penta's liability is limited to the specification in the Warranty and Service
book. Read it carefully, as soon as possible after delivery. It includes important information about war-
ranty cards, service intervals, maintenance, which it is the responsibility of the owner to know, check
and carry out. If this is not done, AB Volvo Penta may fully or partly refuse to honor its warranty un-
dertakings.
Please contact your Volvo Penta dealer if you have not received a Warranty and Service book,
or a customer copy of the warranty card.
•
The engine must not be converted or modified,
except for the accessories and service kits which
Volvo Penta has developed for the engine.
•
No installation changes to the exhaust pipe and
engine air inlet ducts may be done.
•
No seals may be broken by unauthorized person-
nel.
The general advice in the instruction book about ope-
ration, care and maintenance applies.
IMPORTANT! Delayed or inferior care/main-
tenance, and the use of non-original spares,
mean that AB Volvo Penta can no longer be
responsible for guaranteeing that the engine
complies with the certified version.
Damage, injury and/or costs which arise from
this will not be compensated by Volvo Penta.
