  • Page 15: Starting The Engine

    Starting the engine Make a habit of always visually checking the engine and engine compartment prior to starting the engine. This will help you to quickly notice if any abnormal conditions have occurred or are occurring. Check also to verify that the instruments show normal values after start-up.
  • Page 16: Instrument Box

    Following this, warm up the engine using low rpm and low loading. IMPORTANT! Never rev-up the engine when it is cold. Volvo Penta start lock: 1. Turn the key to the ”I” position and check the indicator lamps. 2. Position”II”. Pre-heating is activated (pre-heating is an option).
  • Page 17: Start-Up Under Extreme Cold

    Pre-heat the coolant by using a separately mounted electric engine heater. In extreme cases it can be ne- cessary to use a diesel-powered engine heater. Con- sult your Volvo Penta dealer. IMPORTANT! Make sure that the cooling sys- tem is filled with a glycol mixture. See the chapter ”Maintenance, cooling system”.
  • Page 18: Never Use Starting Fluid

    Starting the engine Never use starting spray WARNING! Never use starting spray or other similar substances to help start an engine. This could cause an explosion in the intake tract. This poses a risk of injury. Start with booster batteries WARNING! Batteries (especially booster batteries) contain oxyhydrogen gas that is very explosive.

  • Page 20: Rpm Regulation

    Operation Throttle The throttle (A) is mounted on the right side of the in- strument box. Avoid sudden and extreme changes in throttle position. Clutch A clutch is optional. Engage the clutch at a 1000–1200 rpm max. N = Neutral E = Engaged Low-load operation Avoid prolonged operation at idle or at low loading.
  • Page 21: Shutting Down The Engine

    Stopping the engine In case of extended time between uses the engine should be run until warm at least once every 14 days. This pre- vents corrosion of the engine. If the engine will not be used for more than two months preservation should be performed. See the chapter ”Storage”.
  • Page 22: Maintenance Schedule

    Maintenance schedule General Your Volvo Penta engine and its equipment are built to provide a high degree of reliability and a long useful life. They are built to have the minimum possible effect upon the environment. Preventative maintenance according to the maintenance schedule and use of original Volvo Penta parts will preserve these qualities and help to avoid un- necessary operational disturbances.

    Maintenance This chapter contains general technical information and instructions detailing how the recommended maintenance should be performed. Read carefully through the instructions before starting the task. The time frames for when each maintenance point should be performed are given in the previous chapter: Maintenance schedule. WARNING! Read through the safety instructions for maintenance and service work in the chapter: Safety in- formation, before starting to work.
  • Page 25 Maintenance Drive belts, check/adjust. Check and adjustments should be done when the drive belts are warm. The drive belt to the generator should be able to press in 3-4 mm between the drive belt pulleys. The drive belt to the generator must be adjusted manually but the other drive belt is automatically adjusted.
  • Page 26 Maintenance 6. Mount the new drive belt and tighten it with the tightening screws (3). The play should be 3 mm for new belts and 3-4 mm for old belts. The play is measured where the drive belts are at their long- est between pulleys.

  • Page 29: Lubrication Oil

    Maintenance Oil level, check and add The oil level should be within the marked area on the dipstick and should be checked daily before the first start. Add oil using the filler opening on the side of the engine. Check that the correct level is reached. Wait a few minutes so that the oil has time to run down into the oil pan.
  • Page 30 Maintenance Oil filter/Bypass filter, change WARNING! Hot oil can cause severe burns. 1. Clean the oil filter housing. 2. Remove all oil filters using appropriate filter wrenches (1). 3. Clean the sealing surface on the filter housing, making sure that no gasket residue remains. 4.
  • Page 31: Coolant, General

    The cooling system should be filled with a coolant that protects the engine from internal corrosion and frost dama- ge where the climate so demands. Never use water only. The anti-corrosion additives become less effective with time, necessitating periodic coolant changes. Assuming that Volvo Penta’s recommendations regarding coolant are adhered to the following change in- tervals apply: Coolant...
  • Page 32: Cooling System

    Maintenance Anti-freeze If there is a risk of frost, use a mixture of 40% Volvo Penta anti-freeze (glycol) and water (to ASTM D4985). This mixture prevents against frost bursting down to about –25°C (–13°F), and should be used all year round.
  • Page 33 NOTE! Do not open the pressure cap. 1. Open the filler cap (1). NOTE! Use only Volvo Penta recommended coolant and mixtures. 2. Mix the correct amount of coolant ahead of time (see the table below) so that it can be assured that the system has been filled.
  • Page 34 2. Open all of the drain valves. Drain the coolant from the radiator. Use drain hose that can be orded from Volvo Penta, the drain cock (P) is located under the radiator. 3. Make sure that all coolant runs out. Deposits may exist just inside of the cocks/plugs that must be cleaned away.
  • Page 35 5. If impurities still exist repeat the cleaning procedure until the system is free from impurities. 6. When the cooling system is completely clean, fill it with new coolant. In markets where Volvo Penta’s concentrated coolant is not available, use anti-corrosive additives and water.
  • Page 36 Maintenance Coolant filter, change 1. Turn the valve (1) 90° to stop the flow through the coolant filter. 2. Remove the coolant filter using an appropriate fil- ter wrench. Make sure that no residue from the old gasket remains on the housing. 3.
  • Page 37: Fuel System

    Maintenance Fuel system Only use fuel of the recommended grade according to the fuel specification below. Always make sure to maintain a high level of cleanliness when fueling and when working with the fuel system. All work involving the engine’s unit injectors must be performed by an authorized service location. WARNING! Risk of fire.
  • Page 38 Maintenance Fuel filter, change NOTE! Do not fill the new fuel filter with fuel prior to mounting, there is a risk that impurities can be intro- duced into the system causing operational interrup- tions or damage. WARNING! Fuel filter replacement should be carried out on a cold engine to avoid the risk of fire caused by fuel spilling onto hot surfaces.
  • Page 39 Maintenance Fuel pre-filter with water monitor, change 1. Clean the area around the fuel filter. 2. Disconnect the water monitor(1). 3. Drain the fuel filter, see ”Fuel system, draining”. 4. Remove the fuel filter using an appropriate filter wrench. NOTE! If the entire filter unit with the water separator is not going to be changed the water monitor should be moved to the new fuel filter.
  • Page 40 Maintenance Fuel system, bleeding 1. Clean around the air bleeding nipples on the cylin- der head and the fuel filter bracket. 2. Bleed the fuel system at the fuel filter. Connect a transparent plastic hose between the bleed nipple (1) and a collection vessel. 3.

    The fuse is placed adjacent to the engine control unit on the engine’s left side. Note: The engine will stop if the fuse (+) blows out. If the fuse blows out often an authorized Volvo Penta repair facility should be contacted to investigate the cause of the overload.
  • Page 42 Maintenance Batteries, maintenance WARNING! Fire and explosion risk. Batteries may never be exposed to open flame or sparks. WARNING! Never confuse the plus and minus poles of the batteries. Risk of causing sparks and explosion. WARNING! Battery electrolytes is strongly corrosive.
  • Page 43 Maintenance Batteries, charging WARNING! Explosion risk. During charging oxyhydrogen gas is formed. Short-circuits, open flame or sparks can cause a powerful explosion. Ventilate well. WARNING! Battery electrolyte is strongly corrosive. Protect eyes, skin and clothing. Always use safety glasses and gloves. In case of skin contact, wash with soap and large quantities of water.
