Operation; Reading Instruments; Acknowleging Alarms And Messages - Volvo Penta D4 Operator's Manual

Operation

Learn to handle the engine, controls and other equipment in a safe and correct manner before you cast off on
your maiden voyage. Remember to avoid sudden or surprising rudder movements and gear shifting. There is a
risk that passengers could fall over or overboard.
WARNING! A rotating propeller can cause severe injury. Check that there is nobody in the water before you
engage forward / aft drive. Never drive close to bathers or in areas where you could reasonably expect that
people could be in the water.
Reading the instruments
Read all instruments directly after starting, and then regu-
larly during your voyage.
EVC system tachometer
Shows user selected boat and engine information.
Oil pressure
The oil pressure gauge (analouge or in tachometer)
should normally indicate between 3-5 bar. It will indicate a
somewhat lower value when idling.
Coolant temperature
The temperature gauge (analouge or in tachometer)
should normally indicate between 75– 95°C (167-203°F)
during normal operation.
Charging
The voltmeter (analouge or in tachometer) should normal-
ly indicate about 14V.
Acknowledging alarms and messages
There are several types of alarms and messages that can
appear as a pop-up in the tachometer/display.
NOTE! Some alarms for fault are also accompanied by a
buzzer. First silence the buzzer by pushing the
GATION WHEEL on the control panel.
1. Read the alarm/message pop-up.
2. Acknowledge the pop-up by pushing the
TION WHEEL on the control panel (sometimes repeat-
edly). The pop-up will disappear.
3. Take the indicated actions.
If there is an alarm pop-up of a fault please refer to the "In
case of emergency" and "Fault register" chapters.
NOTE! If there is a fuel alarm pop-up it will reappear ev-
ery 10 minutes until tank is filled. If there is a depth alarm
pop-up it will reappear every 30 seconds until the depth
exceeds the depth alarm setpoint.
