Service Policy; Important Safety Notices - Volvo Penta 3886143 Instrucciones De Montaje

INTRODUCTION
This installation instruction covers parts or accessories manufactured or marketed by Volvo Penta and used in the
specified application and for the intended purpose recommended by Volvo Penta. Any use other than those
specified may give unpredictable results and result in equipment failure or personal injury.
Proper preparation is extremely helpful for efficient service work. A clean work area at the start of the job will
minimize tools and parts becoming misplaced. Obtain tools, instruments and parts needed for the job before work
is started. Interrupting a job to locate special tools or repair kits is a needless delay.
When following these instructions the installer must adhere to all U.S. Coast Guard Safety Regulations and ABYC
Recommendations and Standards, or other regional regulation that may be in effect.

SERVICE POLICY

Whether within or following the warranty period, Volvo Penta has a constant interest in our products.
It is Volvo Penta's policy to provide dealers with service knowledge so they can give professional service
demanded by today's consumer. Volvo Penta Service Schools, frequent mailing of Service Bulletins, Letters and
Promotions, Special Tools and these instructions represent Volvo Penta's efforts in giving consumers the best and
most prompt service possible. If a service question does not appear to be answered in these instructions, you are
invited to call or write to the Volvo Penta Service Department for additional help. Always be sure to give complete
information, including engine model and serial number.
Be sure you are familiar with Volvo Penta's Warranty. If you have any questions, call or write the Volvo Penta
Service Department. If other than genuine Volvo Penta parts and components are used, Volvo Penta may refuse
subsequent warranty claims involving that engine.
When a brand-name product or specific tool is specified, another item may be used. However, the substitute must
have equivalent characteristics, including type, strength, and material. It is your responsibility to determine if
incorrect substitution could result in product malfunction and personal injury to anyone. To avoid hazards,
equivalent products which are used must meet all U.S. Coast Guard Safety Regulations and ABYC standards.
