Foreword Volvo Penta engines are used all over the world. They are used in all possible operating conditions. This is not a coincidence. After 100 years as an engine manufacturer the Volvo Penta name has become a symbol of reliability, technical innovation, top-of-the-range performance and long service life.
This chapter describes how safety precautions are presented in the Operator’s Manual and on the product. It also gives you an introduction to the basic safety rules for using and looking after the engine. If anything remains unclear or if you are unsure of something, contact your Volvo Penta dealer for assistance. IMPORTANT! Always follow local safety instructions and regulations.

Presentation Engines This Operator’s Manual covers the following industrial diesel engines: TAD570VE, TAD571VE, TAD572VE, in-line, direct injected, 4-cylinder engines. TAD870VE, TAD871VE, TAD872VE, TAD873VE, in-line, direct injected, 6-cylinder engines. The engines are all equipped with electronic manage- ment (EMS), turbocharger, charge air cooler, thermo- statically controlled cooling systems and electronic speed control.
Page 12
EMS is an electronic system with CAN communication (Controller Area Network) for diesel engine control. The system has been developed by Volvo Penta and includes fuel regulation and diagnostic functions. The system consists of a control unit, injectors, a number of sensors that supply the control unit with information, and connectors for diagnostics and functional checks.
Instruments and Controls Display Control Unit The Volvo Penta DCU II instrument panel communi- cates with the engine control unit and has a number of functions such as engine control, monitoring and diag- nostics. NOTICE! Settings and the type of engine data pre- sented on the display may vary depending on the installation and engine model.

The operator is warned that there is a malfunction via the instruments. Depending on the instrumentation in use, the fault message is shown in various ways. Fault codes can also be read out by the Volvo Penta diag- nostic tool. Depending on the severity of the fault, the diagnostic function will take various actions to protect the engine (e.g.

Maintenance Schedule Your Volvo Penta engine and its equipment are designed for high reliability and long life. It is built so as to have minimal environmental impact. If given preventive maintenance, according to the maintenance schedule, and if Volvo Penta original spares are used, these properties are retained and unnecessary malfunctions can be avoided.
This chapter describes the most common maintenance items, see Maintenance Schedule page 38 for service intervals. NOTICE! Service points which are not described here must be performed by an authorized Volvo Penta workshop. CAUTION! Read the chapter on Maintenance before starting work. It contains instructions on how to carry out maintenance and service operations in a safe and correct manner.

The use of anti-corrosion agents alone is not permitted in Volvo Penta engines. Never use water alone as the coolant. The corrosion protection additives become less effec- tive over time, which means that the coolant must be changed at regular intervals;...
Page 56
The coolant must be mixed with distilled, deionized water. The water must fulfil the requirements specified by Volvo Penta; refer to Water Quality page 71. It is extremely important that the system is filled with the correct coolant concentration. Mix in a separate clean vessel before filling the cooling system.

A) and one for the ETA system (25 A). The engine stops if the fuse trips. If the fuse trips fre- quently, an authorized Volvo Penta workshop should be contacted to investigate the cause of the overload. Refer to Maintenance page 41 for location of the fuses.
Because it is of utmost importance that the conservation be performed correctly, we have compiled a checklist covering the most important points. Before taking the engine out of service for long periods, it should be checked by a Volvo Penta dealer for possible need of overhaul or repair. CAUTION! Read the chapter on Maintenance before starting work.

Vegetable oil esters (Fatty Acid Methyl Esters, FAME), also called "biodiesel", are increasingly available as a blending component in diesel fuels. Volvo Penta accepts the same FAME content as in major on-road fuels EN 590 and ASTM D975; i.e. today up to 7%.
