Volvo Penta TAD1630G Workshop Manual page 7

If extra equipment is installed on the engine which
alters its center of gravity a special lifting device is
required to obtain the correct balance for safe han-
dling. Never carry out work on an engine suspended
on a hoist.
Never work alone when removing heavy engine com-
ponents, even when using lifting devices such as lock-
ing 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 compo-
nents are lifted clear and not damaged during the lifting
operations. Always check before starting work if there
is enough room to carry out removal work without risk-
ing personal injury or damage to the engine or parts.
WARNING! The components in the electrical system
and in the fuel system on Volvo Penta products are de-
signed and manufactured to minimize the risk of fire
and explosion. The engine must not be run in areas
where there are explosive materials.

Always use the fuels recommended by Volvo Penta.
Refer to the Instruction Book. Use of fuels that are of
a lower quality can damage the engine. On a diesel
engine poor quality fuel can cause the control rod to
seize and the engine to overrev with resulting risk of
damage to the engine and personal injury. Poor fuel
quality can also lead to higher maintenance costs.
Observe the following rules when cleaning with high-
pressure water jets: Never direct the water jet at
seals, rubber hoses, electrical components or the ra-
diator.
