Maintenance Schedule
Owner's Responsibility
Marine engines and power packages are used in a harsh environment and operate at much higher loads than
automotive engines. These circumstances necessitate a higher level of diligence when operating and maintaining
marine engines. Volvo Penta products are designed to operate efficiently and to provide reliable and durable
power in the marine environment. However, to ensure continued operating efficiency, a boat owner or operator
must check, monitor, and maintain the power components as specified in this manual. An owner or operator has
the responsibility to ensure that all daily and monthly checks are performed and that all scheduled maintenance
is done. Please see the checklists and maintenance schedules in this chapter.
The operation, maintenance, and care of the Volvo Penta engine and power package, as outlined in this manual,
are an owner's responsibility. The owner must keep records of all maintenance and service performed. This record
of proper maintenance may be required to determine warranty coverage. If the boat is sold, these records should
be transferred to the new owner.
Emissions Control Components
The sterndrive emission control system is governed by a separate warranty statement set forth in your warranty
booklet. Volvo Penta recommends that you retain all receipts covering maintenance on the emissions control
system, but Volvo Penta cannot deny warranty coverage on the emissions control system solely for the lack of
receipts or your failure to ensure the performance of all scheduled maintenance. However, Volvo Penta may deny
you warranty coverage for your emission control system if failure results from abuse, neglect, improper mainte-
nance, or unapproved modifications.
If emission control system repair is required during the warranty period, you are responsible for presenting your
sterndrive engine to a Volvo Penta authorized dealer as soon as the problem exists. The warranty repairs will be
completed using genuine Volvo Penta parts in a reasonable period of time without charge. After expiration of the
emission control system warranty, you may present your sterndrive engine to a repair shop or person of your
choosing to maintain, replace, or repair emission control devices and systems.
Safety and Preventative
Maintenance Checklists
The following checklists provide the preventative maintenance program for the engine and power package; suc-
cessful preventative maintenance is a key element of safe boat operation. Preventative maintenance, combined
with regular completion of the service work in the maintenance schedule, can reduce boat down-time and sig-
nificantly reduce the chance of expensive engine repairs in the future. Checklists should be completed, by the
boat owner or operator, at the intervals indicated. If an owner is unsure about how to check these items, (s)he
should contact a Volvo Penta dealer for assistance with the checklists. Small corrections such as filling fluids,
tightening hardware, and similar procedures can be done by the owner. If more complex problems or component
failures are discovered, the owner should contact a Volvo Penta dealer to correct the problem.
CAUTION!
If any items fail the checks (inspections), correct the failed items before using the boat/engine.
