Engine Identification

NOTE: In all communications with the
distributor or Beta Marine, the W.O.C.
and engine number must be quoted.
Beta 10, Beta 14, Beta 16,
Beta 20 and Beta 25
The engine serial number is stamped above the fuel lift
pump on the starboard side of the engine, and is shown on
the rocker cover label.

Initial Receipt of the Engine

A full inspection of the engine must be made immediately
on delivery to confirm that there is no damage. If there is
any damage then write this clearly on the delivery note and
inform your dealer or Beta Marine within 24 hours. A
photograph would always help.

Engine Storage

The engine must be stored in a dry, frost free area and this is
best done in its packing case. If storage is to be more than
six months then the engine must be inhibited (contact your
dealer or Beta Marine). Failure to inhibit the engine may
result in the formation of rust in the injection system and the
engine bores, this could invalidate the warranty.
