Safety Information - Volvo Penta D65A MS Workshop Manual

Introduction
The Manual contains technical data, descriptions, and repair instructions for the designated Volvo Penta engines
or engine versions. Make sure that the correct workshop literature is used.
Read the following safety information and the General Information and Repair Instructions in the Workshop Man-
ual carefully before starting service work.
Important
The following special warning symbols are used in the Workshop Manual and on the engine.
WARNING! Warns of risk of bodily injury, serious damage to product or property, or that a serious malfunc-
tion can occur if the instructions are not followed.
IMPORTANT! Used to attract attention to things that can cause damage or malfunction to product or prop-
erty.
NOTE! Used to attract attention to important information, to simplify work procedures or handling.
The following list provides an overview of the risks and cautionary procedures that should always be observed.
Prevent the engine from being started by dis-
connecting the power with the main switch
(switches) and locking it (them) in the discon-
nected position. Post warning signs stating
"Work in progress!" in every position from wich
the engine can be started.
Maintenance and service should be performed
on a stationary engine. However, some proce-
dures, e.g. certain adjustments, require the en-
gine to be running. Approaching an engine that
is running is a safety risk. Remember that loose
clothes or long hair can fasten in rotating parts
and cause severe injury.
A careless movement or dropped tool while
working in the vicinity of an engine that is run-
ning, can in the worst case lead to injury. Ob-
serve caution with hot surfaces (exhaust pipe,
turbo, charge air pipe, starter element etc.) and
hot fluids in the lines and hoses of an engine
that is running, or has just been stopped. Refit
all guards dismantled during service work be-
fore starting the engine.

Safety Information

Make sure that the warning or information de-
cals on the product are always clearly visible.
Replace labels that have been damaged or
painted over.
Never start the engine unless the air filter is fit-
ted. The rotating compressor wheel in the turbo
can cause severe injury. Foreign objects in the
inlet pipe can also damage the machine.
Never use starter spray or the like. Risk of in
the inlet pipe. Risk of personal injury.
Avoid opening the coolant filler cap when the
engine is hot. Steam or hot coolant can spray
out, and built up pressure will be lost. Open the
filler cap slowly and release the overpressure in
the cooling system if the filler cap or cock must
be opened, or if a plug or coolant pipe must be
removed when the engine is hot. Steam or hot
coolant can flow out in an unpredicted direction.
