Certified Engines; Warranty Information - Volvo Penta D12-615 Operator's Manual

Certified engines

If you own or operate an emission certified engine 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 on injection pumps, pump settings and in-
jectors must always be done by an authorised
Volvo Penta workshop.
Warranty
Your new Volvo Penta marine engine is covered by a limited warranty, under the conditions and instruc-
tions 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, 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 honour its warranty undertakings.
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, ex-
●
cept for the accessories and service kits which
Volvo Penta has approved for the engine.
Installation changes to the exhaust pipe and en-
●
gine air inlet ducts must not be done.
No seals may be broken by unauthorised personnel.
●
The general advice in the instruction book about oper-
ation, care and maintenance apply.
IMPORTANT! Delayed or inferior care/mainte-
nance, and the use of non-original spares, mean
that AB Volvo Penta can no longer be responsi-
ble 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.
