Spare parts
WARNING! The components in the electrical
system and in the fuel system on Volvo Penta
products are designed and manufactured to
minimize the risk of fire and explosion.
Using non-original Volvo Penta parts which do
not meet the above standards, can result in fire
or explosion on board. Any type of damage
which results from the use of non-original Volvo
Penta replacement parts for the product will not
be covered under any warranty provided by AB

Safety
Everyone wants to have a problem-free and pleasant
time when they take their boat out. To help you do
this we have provided a pre-journey check-list below,
of course extra items can be added to this list if you
want. Important areas are the engine and its equip-
ment and the general maintenance of the boat.
Planning your trip
– Get out up-to-date charts for the route planned.
– Calculate distance and fuel consumption.
– Note places where you can refuel on your planned
course.
– Tell friends or relatives about your trip plans.
Boat equipment
– Rescue and emergency items such as life vests
and signal rockets. Does everyone know where
the equipment is stored on board?
– Spare parts on board, for example Kit with water
pump impeller etc.
– TAMD73P and TAMD74C/L/P with Twin Disc
reverse gear* with electronic gear shifting:
Check that the plug for emergency operation
(manual engagement) of the reverse gear is kept
in the bracket on the reverse gear. See page 31.
– The proper tools for the equipment.
– Fire extinguisher (checked and charged).

Joint responsibility
Volvo Penta continually commits a considerable part
of its development resources towards minimizing the
environmental impact of its products. Examples of ar-
eas where we are always looking for improvements
are exhaust emissions, noise levels and fuel con-
sumption.
Regardless of whether your Volvo Penta engine is in-
stalled in a boat used for pleasure or commercial op-
eration, incorrect operation or improper maintenance
of the engine will result in disturbance or damage to
the environment.
In this instruction book there are a number of service
procedures, which, if not followed will lead to an in-
crease in the engine's impact on the environment
and running costs and a reduction in service life. Al-
ways follow the recommended service intervals and
make a habit of checking that the engine is operating
normally every time you use it. One example is an
excessively smoky exhaust. Contact an authorized
Volvo Penta workshop if you cannot correct the fault
yourself.
Bear in mind that most chemicals used on boats are
harmful to the environment if used incorrectly. Volvo
Penta recommends the use of bio-degradable de-
greasing agents for all cleaning. Always dispose of
engine and transmission oil waste, old paint, de-
greasing agents and cleaning residue etc. at proper
disposal areas so that they do not harm the environ-
ment.
Always operate the boat at a speed and distance
from the shore that take account of the swell and
noise which may cause harm to wildlife, moored
boats, floating jetties etc. Always leave any mooring
places and the areas you have been visiting as you
would wish to find them.
