Daily Operation Records - Volvo Penta D12-AUX Operator's Manual

Maintenance: General
Recommendation of Daily Operation Records
Daily recording is a preventive maintenance program and when comparing values with engine history it will help
you recognize conditions, signs or indications of approaching trouble. Daily operation records also make trouble
shooting easier and will lessen the down time (to save time and money for servicing).
Items to be recorded
The following items are recommended to be recorded
once a day:
1. Operating hours.
2. The amount of lubrication oil and coolant (fresh
water) required for refilling. Fuel consumption.
3. Lubrication oil and coolant (fresh water) change
intervals.
4. Lubrication oil pressure and temperature, engine
rpm, exhaust temperature, coolant temperature,
and charge air temperature and pressure.
5. Seawater pressure and seawater temperature
before and after heat exchanger. Ambient
temperature and engine room temperature at
turbo charger inlet.
6. Parts serviced and kinds of service (adjustment,
repairs, or replacement).
7. Change in operating conditions (for example,
