Electrical System

The engine is equipped with a 2-pole electrical system
and an alternator.
WARNING!
Always stop the engine and break the current using the
main switches before working on the engine.
IMPORTANT:
Contact a Volvo Penta dealer for information if any arc
welding will be performed on the application.
Arc welding can cause damage to the engine and the
electronics.

Main switch

IMPORTANT:
Never disconnect the current using the main switches
when the engine is running or by disconnecting the
battery cables.
The alternator and electronics could be damaged.
The main switches must never be switched off before
the engine has stopped. If the circuit between the
alternator and the battery is disconnected when the
engine is running, the alternator and electronics may
be damaged. For the same reason, the charging
circuits must never be re-connected with the engine
running.

Fuses

The engine is fitted with two automatic circuit breakers.
NOTICE! These circuit breakers are not active in the
commercial setup. The active fuses av located in the
SDM cabinet.
If you are not able to start the engine or if the instrument
stops working while running, the circuit breaker may
have been activated. Reset by pressing in the circuit
breaker.
IMPORTANT:
Always investigate the cause of the overload. If the
fuse trips frequently, contact an authorized Volvo
Penta workshop.
