Steering
Parallel rod
Check the parallel rods connecting the two stern drives
together, especially after running aground or striking
an underwater object.
If a parallel rod is bent, loose or damaged it must be
checked by your Volvo Penta workshop.
WARNING!
If the parallel strut (tie bar) shows signs of damage, run
at reduced speed to harbor. The parallel strut is a vital
safety component, damage may effect steering char-
acteristics. In the worst case steering could be lost
altogether. Never align or weld a damaged parallel
strut. Please contact your nearest authorized Volvo
Penta workshop for assistance.
Steering System Operation
Power steering reservoir fluid level
The steering servo tank has a transparent reservoir
which makes checking the level possible without open-
ing the cap. The fluid level must be between the "MIN"
and "MAX" lines. Whenever you check the engine oil,
also check the steering reservoir fluid level.
WARNING!
Use only by Volvo Penta recommended fluid and
grade. Any non-appproved fluid may cause loss of
steering or result in damage to the components used
in the steering system.
