Safety Precautions
Never work alone when removing heavy engine
components, even when using lifting devices
such as locking tackle lifts. When using a lifting
device two people are usually required to do the
work, one to take care of the lifting device and
another to ensure that components are lifted
clear and not damaged during the lifting opera-
tions.
When you work aboard a boat, always make
sure that there is enough space for disassembly
where you are working, with no risk of personal
injury or damage to materials.
Components in the electrical and fuel systems
on Volvo Penta products have been designed to
minimize the risks of explosion and fire. The en-
gine must not be run in areas where there are
explosive materials.

Fuel delivery pipes must not be bent or straight-
ened under any circumstances. Damaged pipes
must be replaced.
Remember the following when washing with a
power washer: Never aim the water jet at seals,
rubber hoses or electrical components. Never
use a power washer for engine cleaning.
Only use the fuels recommended by Volvo Pen-
ta. Refer to the Operator's Manual. Use of fuels
that are of a lower quality can damage the en-
gine. On a diesel engine, poor quality fuel can
cause the control rod to bind and the engine to
over-rev with resulting risk of damage to the en-
gine and personal injury. Poor fuel can also lead
to higher service costs.
