Maintenance Schedule - Volvo Penta D4 Operator's Manual

Maintenance Schedule

Your Volvo Penta engine and its equipment are designed for high reliability and long life. The engines are built to
withstand the marine environment, but also to have the smallest possible environmental impact. If the engine and
transmission are serviced regularly according to the schedule, these qualities will be retained and unnecessary
malfunctions 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 when this must be done can be found in the Warranty
and service book.
Extended protection for leisure use
Volvo Penta offers extended protection for marine diesel engines, including power trains, applicable only to leisure
boats. For the warranty to be valid, all prescribed services must have been carried out at the owner's expense by
an authorized Volvo Penta dealer or service workshop before the 12 month warranty period has expired. Further
instructions are contained in the Warranty and service book.
