Safety information

Read this chapter very carefully. It has to do with your safety. This describes how safety information is presented

in the instruction book and on the product. It also gives you an introduction to the basic safety rules for using and

looking after the engine.

Check that you heave received the correct instruction book before you read on. If not, please contact

your Volvo Penta dealer.

Incorrect operation can lead to personal injury and damage to products or property. So

read the instruction book through very carefully before you start the engine or do any

maintenance or service work. If there is still something which is unclear or if you feel un-

sure about it, please contact your Volvo Penta dealer for assistance.

This symbol is used in the instruction book and on the product, to call your attention to the

fact that this is safety information. Always read such information very carefully.

Safety texts in the instruction book have the following order of priority:

WARNING! Warns for the risk of personal injury, major damage to product or property, or

serious malfunctions if the instruction is ignored.

IMPORTANT! Is used to call attention to things which could cause damage or malfunctions

to product or property.

NOTE! Is used to call attention to important information, to facilitate work processes or operation.

This symbol is used on our products in some cases and refers to important information in

the instruction book. Make sure that warning and information symbols on the engine are

clearly visible and legible. Replace symbols which have been damaged or painted over.

Safety information

Safety advice for boat operation

Your new boat

Read the instruction books and other information

carefully, which came with your new boat. Learn to

handle the engine, controls and other equipment in a

safe and correct manner.

If this is your ﬁrst boat, or a type of boat you are not

experienced in using, we recommend that you practi-

ce operating the boat in peace and quiet. Get to know

the way the boat reacts to sea and to the controls

under different speed, sea and loading conditions be-

fore you cast off for your ﬁrst “real” maiden voyage.

Remember that the captain of every boat is required

by law to know and to observe applicable rules for

trafﬁc and safety at sea. Get to know the rules which

apply to you and your waters, by contacting the rele-

vant authority or sea safety organisation.

It is a good idea to go on some kind of boat operation

course. We recommend that you contact a regional

boat or sea safety organisation to ﬁnd a suitable course.

Accidents and near misses

Life saving statistics show that inadequate care of

boats and engines, and deﬁciencies in safety equip-

ment are frequent causes of accidents and near misses

at sea.

Make sure that your boat and engine are maintained

in accordance with the advice in each instruction

book, and that the necessary safety equipment is on

board, and is in working condition.

Daily checks

Make it a habit to give the engine and engine bay

a visual check before driving (before starting the

engine) and after operation (when you have stop-

ped the engine). This helps you to quickly discover

whether any leakage of fuel, coolant, oil or any other

abnormal event has happened, or is about to happen.

Manoeuvring

Avoid sudden or surprising rudder movements and

gear shifting. There is a risk that passengers could

fall over, or overboard.

A rotating propeller can cause severe injury. Check

that there is nobody in the water before you engage

forward / astern (reverse) drive. Never drive close to

bathers or in areas where you could reasonably ex-

pect that people could be in the water.

Fuel ﬁlling

There is always a risk of ﬁre and explosion during

fuel ﬁlling. Smoking is not permissible, and the engi-

ne should be stopped.

Never over-ﬁll the tank.

Shut the tank cap securely. Only use the fuel recom-

mended in the instruction book. The wrong grade of

fuel can cause malfunctions or stop the engine. In a

diesel engine, it can also cause the regulation rod to

bind and the engine will over-rev, entailing a strong

risk of personal injury and machinery damage.

Do not start the engine.

Do not start the engine if you suspect a fuel or LPG

leak in the boat, close to explosive media, or if there

is a spillage of explosive media. An explosive envi-

ronment entails a risk of ﬁre and/or explosion.

5

Safety information

Carbon monoxide poisoning

When a boat moves forwards, an area of low pres-

sure air forms behind the boat. In adverse conditions,

this low pressure can be so strong that the boat’s

own exhaust fumes are sucked into the cockpit or

cabin, which entails a risk of carbon monoxide poiso-

ning for all aboard.

The problem of low-pressure suction is worst in high,

wide boats with a square transom. But even in other

types of boats, low-pressure suction can be a pro-

blem in some conditions, such as if you drive with the

hood up. Other factors which increase the low-pres-

sure effect are wind conditions, load distribution, pit-

ching, trimming, open windows and ventilators etc.

Most modern boats are designed so that the problem

of low-pressure suction is very rare, however. If low-

pressure suction does occur anyway, do not open

hatches or ventilators in the forward part of the boat.

Strangely enough, this makes the problem worse. Try

changing speed, trimming or load distribution instead.

Also try taking down/opening the hood or modifying

it in some other manner. Ask your boat dealer for ad-

vice about the best solution for your particular boat.

Remember

● Safety equipment: Life jackets for everybody aboard, communication equipment, emergency

rockets, approved ﬁre extinguisher, ﬁrst aid kit, life buoy, anchor, paddle, torches etc.

● Spare parts and tools: Impeller, fuel ﬁlters, fuses, tape, hose clamps, engine oil, propeller and

tools for the jobs you could be expected to have to do.

● Take your chart out and study your planned route. Calculate distance and fuel consumption.

Listen to weather reports.

● Tell your friends/relatives about route plans if you undertake a long journey. Remember to notify

changed plans or delays.

● Inform everybody aboard about where the safety equipment is located, and how it works. Make

sure that there is more than one person aboard who can start and operate the boat safely.

This list can be extended, since the need for safety equipment varies with the type of boat, and

where or how it is used etc. We recommend that you ask a regional boat or sea safety organisation

for more detailed maritime safety information.

Safety information

Safety advice for care and maintenance work

Preparations

Knowledge

The Instruction Book contains instructions for doing

the most common service and maintenance tasks in

a safe and correct manner. Read them carefully be-

fore starting work.

Literature for more major tasks is available from your

Volvo Penta dealer.

Never do a job if you are not entirely sure about how to

do it. Contact a Volvo Penta dealer for assistance ins-

tead.

Stop the engine.

Stop the engine before opening or removing the engine

hatch/hood. Care and maintenance work should be

done with the engine stopped unless otherwise speci-

ﬁed.

Prevent the engine from being started by cutting the

current with the battery isolator, or remove the cable

from the battery positive pole before you start service

work. Fix a notice by the helmsman’s seat to say that

work is in progress.

Working with, or going close to a running engine

is a safety risk. Loose clothes, long hair, ﬁngers or

dropped tools can catch on rotating components and

cause severe injury. Volvo Penta recommends that all

service work which requires the engine to be running

should be done by a Volvo Penta authorised work-

shop.

Lifting the engine

The existing lugs on the engine (or reverse gear)

should be used for lifting. Always check that the lifting

devices are in good condition and that they have the

correct capacity for the lift (engine weight together

with reverse gear and auxiliaries, if ﬁtted). The engine

should be lifted with an adjustable lifting boom for

safe handling. All chains or cables should be parallel

to each other and should be as square as possible

to the top of the engine. Please note that auxiliary

equipment installed on the engine could change its

centre of gravity. Special lifting devices may then

be needed to obtain the correct balance and safe

handling. Never do any work on an engine which just

hangs from a lifting device.

Before starting

Re-install all guards which have been removed

during service work, before re-starting the engine.

Make sure that there are no tools or other objects left

behind on the engine.

Never start a turbocharged engine without the air

ﬁlter in place. The rotating compressor turbine in the

turbocharger can cause severe injury. There is also a

risk that foreign bodies could be sucked in and cause

machinery damage.

Fire and explosion

Fuel and lubrication oil

All fuel, most lubricants and many chemicals are

ﬂammable. Always read and observe the advice on

the packages.

Work on the fuel system must be done with the eng-

ine cold. Fuel leakage and spills on hot surfaces or

electrical components can cause ﬁres.

Store oil and fuel soaked rags and other ﬂammable

material in a ﬁre-proof manner. Oil soaked rags can

self-ignite in certain circumstances.

Never smoke when ﬁlling fuel, lubrication oil or close

to fuel ﬁlling stations or the engine bay.

Non-original spare parts

Components in fuel systems and electrical systems

on Volvo Penta engines are designed and manufactu-

red to minimise the risk of explosions and ﬁre, in ac-

cordance with applicable legal requirements.

The use of non-original spare parts can cause a ﬁre.

Batteries

Batteries contain and give off an explosive gas, espe-

cially when charged. This gas is very ﬂammable and

highly explosive.

Smoking, open ﬂames or sparks must never occur in

or near to batteries or the battery locker.

Incorrect connection of a battery cable or start cable

can cause a spark which can be sufﬁcient, in its turn,

to make the battery explode.

Start spray

Never use start spray or similar products as a star-

ting aid. Explosions could occur in the inlet manifold.

Danger of personal injury.

7

Safety information

Hot surfaces and ﬂuids

A hot engine always offers the risk of burns. Be on

your guard against hot surfaces, such as the ex-

haust manifold, turbocharger, sump, charge air pipe,

starting heater, hot coolant and hot lubricating oil in

pipes and hoses.

Carbon monoxide poisoning

Only start the engine in a well-ventilated area. When

operated in a conﬁned space, exhaust fumes and

crankcase gases must be ventilated.

Chemicals

Most chemicals, such as glycol, rust preventer, con-

servation oils, degreasers etc. are hazardous. Always

read and observe the advice on the packages.

Some chemicals, such as conservation oils, are ﬂam-

mable and also hazardous to breathe. Ensure good

ventilation and use a protective mask for spraying. Al-

ways read and observe the advice on the packages.

Store chemicals and other hazardous material out of

the reach of children. Hand in surplus or used chemi-

cals to a recycling station for destruction.

Cooling system

There is always a risk of water entry when any work

is done on the seawater system. For this reason,

stop the engine and close the sea cocks before you start

work.

Avoid opening the coolant ﬁlling cap when the engine

is hot. Steam or hot coolant can spray out and cause

scalding.

If the ﬁller cap, coolant hose etc., still has to be ope-

ned or removed when the engine is hot, undo the

ﬁller cap slowly and carefully, to let the pressure out

before removing the ﬁller cap completely and starting

work. Note that the coolant can still be hot and cause

scalding.

Lubrication system

Hot oil can cause burns. Avoid skin contact with hot

oil. Make sure that the oil system is de-pressurised

before starting work. Never start or run the engine with

the oil ﬁller cap removed, because of the risk of oil spil-

lage.

Fuel system

Always protect your hands when searching for leaks.

Fluids which leak under pressure can force their way

into body tissue and cause severe injury. Risk of

blood poisoning (septicaemia).

Always cover the alternator if it is located beneath the

fuel ﬁlters. Fuel spillage can damage the alternator.

Electrical system

Cut the current

Before any work is done on the electrical system,

the engine must be stopped and the current cut by

switching off the battery isolator. Shore current for

engine heaters, battery chargers or other auxiliary

equipment connected to the engine must be discon-

nected.

Batteries

Batteries contain a highly corrosive electrolyte. Pro-

tect your eyes, skin and clothes during charging and

other handling of batteries. Always use protective

goggles and gloves. If this comes into contact with

your skin, wash at once with soap and a lot of water.

If you get battery acid in your eyes, ﬂush at once with

Introduction

This instruction book has been prepared to give you the greatest possible beneﬁt from your Volvo Penta marine

engine. It contains the information you need to be able to operate and maintain the engine safely and correctly.

Please read the instruction book carefully and learn to handle the engine, controls and other equipment in a

safe manner before you cast off on your maiden voyage.

Always have the instruction book available. Store it safely and do not forget to hand it over to the next owner if

you sell your boat.

Environmental care

All of us want to live in a clean, healthy environment.

Where we can breathe clean air, see healthy trees,

have clean water in lakes and seas, and be able to

enjoy the sunlight without fearing for our health. Un-

fortunately, this is not self-evident these days, it is

something all of us must work hard for.

As a manufacturer of marine engines, Volvo Penta

has particular responsibility and for this reason, en-

vironmental care is a core value in our product deve-

lopment. Volvo Penta has a wide engine programme

these days, where considerable progress has been

made in reducing exhaust fumes, fuel consumption,

engine noise etc.

We hope that you will be want to preserve these

values. Always observe the advice in the instruction

book about fuel grades, operation and maintenance,

to avoid unnecessary environmental impact. Please

contact your Volvo Penta dealer if you notice any

changes such as increased fuel consumption or in-

creased exhaust smoke.

Moderate your speed and distance so that wake and

noise do not disturb or damage animal life, moored

boats, jetties etc. Leave the archipelago and harbours

in the same state you would like to ﬁnd them. Re-

member to always hand in drained oil, coolant, paint

and wash residue, used batteries etc. for destruction

at a recycling station.

If we all pull together, we can make a valuable contri-

bution to the environment together.

Higher oil consumption is normal during the running

in period. For this reason, check the oil level more

frequently than normally recommended.

After the ﬁrst period of operation, the speciﬁed war-

ranty inspection “First service inspection” can be

done. For more information: Please refer to the War-

ranty and Service book.

Fuel and oils

Only use the fuels and oils recommended in the in-

struction book. Other grades can cause malfunctions,

increased fuel consumption and eventually even

shorten the life of the engine.

Always change the oil, oil ﬁlter and fuel ﬁlter at the

speciﬁed intervals.

Running in

The engine must be “run in” during its ﬁrst 10 hours,

as follows:

Use the engine in normal operation. Full load should

only be applied for short periods. Never run the engine

for a long period of time at constant speed during this

period.

Service and spare parts

Volvo Penta marine engines are designed for high

reliability and long life. They are built to withstand

a marine environment, but also to have the smal-

lest possible environmental impact. Through regular

service and use of Volvo Penta original spare parts,

these qualities are retained.

Volvo Penta’s world-wide network of authorised dea-

lers is at your service. They are Volvo Penta product

specialists, and have the accessories, original spa-

res, test equipment and special tools needed for high

quality service and repair work.

Always observe the maintenance intervals in the

instruction book, and remember to note the engine/

transmission identiﬁcation number when you order

service and spare parts.

Introduction

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

injectors must always be done by an authorised

Volvo Penta workshop.

● The engine must not be converted or modiﬁed,

except for the accessories and service kits which

Volvo Penta has approved for the engine.

● Installation changes to the exhaust pipe and engi-

ne air inlet ducts must not be done.

● No seals may be broken by unauthorised personnel.

The general advice in the instruction book about ope-

ration, care and maintenance apply.

IMPORTANT! Late or inadequate maintenance/

service or the use of spare parts not approved

by Volvo Penta will invalidate AB Volvo Penta’s

responsibility for the engine speciﬁcation being

in accordance with the certiﬁcated variant.

Volvo Penta accepts no responsibility or liabi-

lity for any damage or costs arising due to the

above.

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.

Introduction

Identiﬁcation numbers

There are type plates on the engine and transmission, marked with identiﬁcation numbers. This information must

always be used a reference when service and spare parts are ordered. You will probably ﬁnd similar plates on

your boat and its equipment. Note this information below, make a copy of the page and store it in a safe place,

so that you can have the information available if the boat is stolen.

The appearance and location of the type plates is shown below. The ﬁgures in brackets refer to the location of

the identiﬁcation number on the type plate.
