Risk of water penetration/sinking
WARNING!
If a launched boat is equipped with sea water tap and
safety valve, ensure that these are closed before any
work is allowed to begin on the cooling system.
Remember to open the tap and valve before starting
the engine!
Hot coolant under pressure
CAUTION!
Hot coolant can cause burns. Avoid opening the filler
cap for the coolant when the engine is still hot. Steam
or hot coolant can spray out and system pressure is
lost.
Open the filler cap slowly and release the pressure in
the cooling system if the filler cap or valve must be
opened – or if a plug or a coolant hose must be
removed from a hot engine.
Hot oil under pressure
CAUTION!
Hot oil can cause burns. Avoid getting hot oil on the
skin. Ensure that the lubrication system is not
pressurized before starting any work. Never start or
operate the engine without the oil filler cap is on. There
is a risk that hot oil can spray out.
Refueling
WARNING!
There is always a risk of fire and explosion during
refueling. Smoking is forbidden and the engine must
be stopped.
Proper fuel quality
IMPORTANT:
Always use the fuel recommended by Volvo Penta.
See Technical Data in Operator's Manual. Other fuel
can damage the engine.
Wrong fuel quality can also lead to higher service
costs.
WARNING!
Risk of personal injury.
Wrong fuel quality in a diesel engine can cause the fuel
control mechanism to bind which can cause the engine
to overspeed!
