First Service Inspection (Dealer 20-Hour Check)

To ensure your continued boating enjoyment, we recommend that you return your Volvo Penta product to your
Volvo Penta dealer for a 20-hour check. This 20-hour check will prevent a minor problem from getting worse and
helps ensure a trouble-free boating season. When servicing your engine, your Volvo Penta dealer will use the
following guidelines to inspect your product:
Start the engine and check that:
•
No leakage of fuel, oil, water, or exhaust gases
occurs.
•
Engine oil pressure and temperature are within
specification.
•
All cables and controls operate correctly.
•
All gauges, instruments, and alarms operate cor-
rectly.
•
Steering system operates correctly.
•
Engine ignition timing and idle RPM are within
specifications.
•
Power trim system operates correctly.
Stop the engine and:
•
Change engine oil and oil filter.
•
Change fuel/water separator filter.
•
Clean seawater strainer (if equipped).
•
Check fluid levels and fluid condition in stern-
drive or inboard transmission, power steering
pump, and trim pump.
NOTE! Always insist that your dealer use genuine Volvo Penta parts when replacing engine components.

Operating After Break-in Period

After the break-in period, the engine can be operated at any RPM from idle to full throttle. Cruising at 3600 RPM
or less, however, saves fuel, reduces noise, and prolongs engine life.

Final Ten Hours

1. During the final ten hours of break-in, you may
operate at full throttle for five to ten minutes at a
time.
2. After warming the engine to operating tempera-
ture, momentarily increase engine speed.
3. Occasionally reduce engine speed to idle to pro-
vide cooling periods.
At the end of the 20 hour break-in period, drain the en-
gine oil and replace the oil filter. Fill the crankcase with
Volvo Penta's engine oil.
•
Check propeller(s) and propeller fasteners.
•
Check condition of battery and battery cable
connections.
•
Check the tension and condition of drive belt(s).
•
Lubricate all grease fittings and linkages follow-
ing service recommendations.
•
Check tightness of all water, fuel, exhaust
clamps, fittings, drive bellows, and drains.
Restart the engine and recheck that:
•
No leakage of fuel, oil, water, or exhaust gases
occurs.
•
Engine oil pressure and temperature are within
specifications.
This is a perfect time to discuss with your Volvo Penta
dealer any questions about your engine that may have
arisen during the first 20 hours of operation and estab-
lish a routine preventive maintenance schedule.
