Excessive strain on a product and
components
Volvo Penta products and components are not
dimensioned for external loads. Never stand or step
onto an engine, transmission or its components. Loads
can bring about damage and the malfunction of a
product or property.
Volvo Penta EVC system, integrity
and modification
The Electronic Vessel Control (EVC) system is a
complete vessel control system for engine, gear and
vessel steering control. Modifying the EVC system or
connecting spare parts or systems that do not comply
with the quality of genuine Volvo Penta parts may
adversely affect the system performance, safety and
warranty coverage.
Volvo Penta recommends only the use of electronic
systems and spare parts with the same quality as
genuine Volvo Penta parts. Contact your local Volvo
Penta dealer for detailed information and advice.
