About the Workshop Manual

This Workshop Manual contains technical information,
descriptions, and repair instructions for the standard
versions of the drive units 280, 280T, 280PT, 285,

The Workshop Manual can show operations carried
out on any of the drives listed above. As a result the
illustrations and pictures in the manual that show cer-
tain parts on the drives, do not in some cases apply
to all the drives listed. However the repair and serv-
ice operations described are in all essential details
the same. Where they are not the same this is stated
in the manual and where the difference is considera-
ble the operations are described separately. The
Drive Designations and Series Number (PZ-No.) can
be found on the product plate. Please always include
both the drive designation and the PZ number in all
correspondence.
The Workshop Manual is primarily produced for
Volvo Penta service workshops and their qualified
personnel. It is therefore assumed that persons using
this manual have a basic knowledge of marine drive
systems, and can perform the relevant work of a
mechanical and electrical nature.
Volvo Penta continuously develops its products, and
therefore reserves the right to introduce modifica-
tions. All the information in this manual is based on
product data available prior to publication. Any
amendments or service methods of essential impor-
tance that have been introduced for the product after
this date are confirmed in the form of Service Bulle-
tins.
