Use the lifting hooks mounted on the engine/re-
versing gear when lifting the drive unit. Always
check that the lifting equipment is in good con-
dition and has the correct capacity for the lift
(weight of engine plus reversing gear and extra
equipment where appropriate).
For safe handling, and to avoid damaging the
components mounted on top of the engine, the
engine should always be lifted with a lifting bar
adjusted to the engine. All chains or wires
should run in parallel with each other and as
perpendicular to the top of the engine as possi-
ble. Special lifting equipment may be required to
ensure the right balance and safe handling if
other equipment connected to the engine alters
its centre of gravity.
Never work on an engine supported only by lift-
ing equipment.
Never work alone when heavy components are
to be dismantled, even when safe lifting (e.g.
lockable block and tackle) equipment is used. In
most cases, two persons are required even
when lifting equipment is used: one to handle
the equipment and one to make sure that com-
ponents are not damaged. When working on-
board a boat always make sure in advance that
there is sufficient space to allow dismantling in
situ, without the risk of personal injury or materi-
al damage.

WARNING! The components in the electrical
system and fuel system on Volvo Penta prod-
ucts are designed and manufactured to mini-
mise the risks of explosion and fire. The engine
must not be run in environments surrounded by
explosive media.
Pressure pipes must not bent, turned, or ex-
posed to other strain. Replace damaged pres-
sure pipes.
Observe the following when cleaning with high-
pressure wash: Never point the jet of water at
seals, rubber hoses, or electrical components.
Never use the high-pressure function when
washing the engine.
Always use Volvo Penta recommended fuel.
See the instruction manual. The use of inferior
quality fuel could damage the engine. The use
of inferior fuel in a diesel engine could cause
the control rod to jam and the engine to over-
speed, with the risk of personal injury or dam-
age to the machine. Inferior fuel can also lead
to higher maintenance costs.
