12 V. With the ignition turned off, the voltmeter will not register a charge. 21196 1. While Volvo Penta provides an audible alarm with every engine, its installation is determined by the manufacturer of your boat. If your boat does not have an audible alarm available, we strongly recommend that you contact your dealer to have one installed.
Instrumentation Engine Protection Mode In a low oil pressure, low voltage, engine overheat, or lack of exhaust cooling water situation, the Electronic Fuel Injection (EFI) system will enter an Engine Pro- tection Mode (EPM). In such cases, if an acoustic alarm has been installed with your engine, the alarm (located beneath the dashboard) will sound to notify you of a malfunction.
Warning (SLOW), the other engine will follow suit. 22803 Power Trim/Tilt Your Volvo Penta sterndrive is equipped with a power trim/tilt system as standard equipment. The power trim/tilt allows you to change the angle of the drive unit from the helm. Changing the angle of the drive unit in relation to the boat bottom is called trimming.
Instrumentation Trim Instruments The trim instrument indicates the current trim position. Your boat may be equipped with an analog or a digital trim instrument. The SX drive has an analog trim in- strument only. The DP-S drive may have either an an- alog or a digital trim instrument.
7 Constant yellow light within range of 2 to 5; flashes yellow when drive moves within trim range and bow is raised. Other Instruments See your Volvo Penta dealer for additional accesso- ries specifically designed for your Volvo Penta prod- uct. VPA 7743722 English 10-2004...

Check drive and transom shield anodes. Clean or replace as necessary. Off-Season Storage (Winterization) Be sure that your Volvo Penta equipment is properly prepared for off-season storage. Engine or drive dam- age can result if some simple maintenance steps are overlooked prior to storage.
Always read and follow the safety warnings provided in this manual. If you are uncertain about any procedures described in the manual, or you would like to receive a workshop manual, please contact your Volvo Penta dealer. Engine Exhaust System Periodically inspect the engine exhaust system.
Maintenance Fuel System DANGER! Gasoline is extremely flammable and highly explosive. ALWAYS turn off the engine before fueling. Do not smoke or allow open flames or sparks near the boat when adding fuel. When filling the gas tank, ground the tank to the source of gasoline by holding the hose nozzle firmly against the side of the deck filler plate, or ground it in some other manner.
After adding fuel sta- bilizer, the engine should be run for ten minutes to allow stabilized fuel to reach all points of the fuel sys- tem. Fuel stabilizer is available from your Volvo Penta dealer. VPA 7743722 English 10-2004...
After completing service procedures, start en- gine and check entire fuel system for possible leaks. To prevent fire and explosion, Volvo Penta fuel sys- tem components meet U.S. Coast Guard require- ments for fuel and fuel vapor containment. Do not substitute automotive or other non-approved parts.
All models have a fuel filter (C) in the fuel line before the fuel pump. NOTE! Volvo Penta EFI engines require a special marine filter with a 10 micron filtering capa- bility. Do not substitute any other type of fil- ter.
A loud whining noise at idle may be due to a restricted fuel filter causing a noisy fuel pump. Operating the engine with a restricted filter may damage the pressure regulator or fuel pumps. See your Volvo Penta dealer if the pump makes an unusual noise. VPA 7743722 English 10-2004...
Maintenance Fuel Filter Replacement (V6/V8 Carb Engines) 1. Turn off the engine. 2. Unscrew fuel filter (A), remove, and discard. 3. Lightly lubricate the gasket and inner seal on new fuel filter. 4. Screw on fuel filter and hand-tighten, following instructions on filter.
Maintenance Electrical System The engine’s electrical system features cranking, charging, ignition, and trim/tilt circuits. A battery and all necessary wiring provide power. CAUTION! If electrical connections are re- versed, or wires are disconnected when the key switch is ON or the engine is running, sensitive electrical components may be im- mediately damaged.

EFI engines. A deep cycle battery, while it may have enough cold cranking amps (CCA), will cause problems with EFI engines. The correct starting battery for all Volvo Penta EFI engines is a standard marine battery with a minimum of 650 CCA and a minimum of 135 minutes reserve capacity.
Maintenance DANGER! Failure to follow the safety precau- tions below may result in electrical sparks ig- niting fuel vapors, and thereby causing fire or explosion. 1. Operate boat’s bilge blower for at least 5 minutes. Open engine cover or hatch and check the boat’s bilge area for gasoline fumes.
Multiple Batteries and Selector Switch See your Volvo Penta dealer for multiple battery in- stallation recommendations. If your boat is equipped with multiple batteries and a selector switch, the engine should be operated with the selector switch set to the ALL position.
Maintenance Spark Plugs Before installing new spark plugs, always check for proper type and gap . Incorrect spark plugs can cause operational problems and possible internal engine damage. Before installing a spark plug, the spark plug seat in the cylinder head should be wiped clean. Tighten plugs to the proper torque value .

Maintenance The spark plug wires are a special resistance 8. When spark plugs have been thoroughly cleaned, type. The core is carbon-impregnated linen. This carefully inspect them for cracks or other defects type wire is superior to copper core wire in its that may not have been visible before cleaning.
The serpentine belt tension is adjusted automatically and requires no tension adjustments. However, at least once per year, have your Volvo Penta dealer check the serpentine belt for wear. An ideal time to have this 21203 check performed is when you have the gimbal bearing lubricated.
Maintenance V-Belt Engines The following engines use two separate V-belts which may occasionally have to be adjusted for tension: 4.3GL and 5.0GL. CAUTION! These belts are heavy duty. Do not replace with automotive belts. Following is a description of the dual belt system: A –...
Maintenance Power Steering Pump Belt NOTE! Improper power steering belt adjustment will result in hard steering. With engine OFF, check power steering pump (2) belt deflection midway between the circulating pump pul- ley and the power steering pump pulley (position E on previous image).
Maintenance Cooling System Raw Water System Various Volvo Penta engines have a thermostat-con- trolled cooling system. 1. Cool water is drawn in through raw water intake (A) by an impeller (C) connected to the raw water pump (D) mounted on the front of the engine.
CAUTION! Continuing to operate an over- heating engine will cause engine damage. 7. See your Volvo Penta dealer for assistance. Engine Flush Volvo Penta engines incorporate an engine flushing port designed to flush the engine with fresh water while the engine is running.
The following steps are very important in protecting your engine from damage in freezing conditions. If unsure of how to perform any of the following steps, see your Volvo Penta dealer for a complete end-of- season/winterization service. Freeze damage to the engine package is not covered by your Volvo Penta limited warranty.
(check antifreeze manufacturer’s instructions). Make sure the antifreeze’s freeze point is adequate for ex- pected temperatures. To drain the raw water system of your Volvo Penta en- gine (with factory installed closed cooling): 1. With the engine turned off locate and loosen the lower end cap from the heat exchanger (1).
Maintenance 2. Note the hose orientation on the raw water pump (G). Loosen the hose clamps (2) and remove the hoses (E & H) from the raw water pump. Crank the engine briefly, (1 or 2 crankshaft revolutions) but do not start the engine, to clear the water from the pump.
This procedure requires the removal of the drive unit; therefore, your Volvo Penta dealer should do it. An ideal time to have this done is during the winterization process or in the spring when preparing to launch for the first time.
Maintenance Schedule on page 64 provide detailed information about oil filter type and service intervals. When you add or change engine oil, use Volvo Penta engine oils for gasoline engines. Use the viscosity chart to select the SAE viscosity that matches the temperature range in which you expect to operate.
NOTE! You may purchase either a manual or an electric suction pump from any marine sup- ply store or from your Volvo Penta dealer. 5. Dispose of used oil according to any applicable federal, state, and local environmental regula- tions.
Maintenance Drive Components The drive unit is filled at the factory with Volvo Penta GL 5 Synthetic Gear Oil. 22342 Drive Unit Lubrication Checking the Drive Unit Lubricant Every week, check the oil level in the drive unit (if pos- sible, without removing the boat from the water).
2. Remove the oil level plug (3). 3. Fill the drive unit with Volvo Penta GL 5 Synthetic Gear Oil. Fill through the oil drain plug location (B and C; see previous page). Fill slowly to purge air.
Do not paint anodes, as this will destroy their effectiveness. When you need to purchase new anodes, see your Volvo Penta dealer. The material composition of Volvo Penta anodes meets U.S. Military Specification 18001-H. Some after-market anodes may not meet mil-specs and are larger in size.
Maintenance Active Corrosion Protection System Your boat may be equipped with a Volvo Penta active corrosion protection system (APC). This system oper- ates with very little current drain from the boat’s elec- trical system. It keeps the voltage potential in the area around the drive unit in a range that is not corrosive to aluminum.
