Operation
Avoid violent and unexpected changes in course and gear engagement. There is a risk that someone aboard will
fall over or overboard.
WARNING! A rotating propeller can cause serious injury. Check that nobody is in the water before engaging
ahead or astern. Never drive near bathers or in areas where people could be in the water.
Checking instruments
Check the instruments and warning display directly
after starting the engine and then at regular intervals
while driving the boat. Stop the engine if there is an
abnormal reading or any warning lamp comes on and
the alarm sounds. For engines with measuring
instruments the following standard values apply:
1
2
3
Engine coolant temperature (ECT) (1)
Normaloperatingtemperatureisbetween75–95°C.
The acoustic alarm will automatically go off if the
engine coolant temperature (ECT) is too high.
IMPORTANT! If the alarm sounds: Reduce
engine speed to idle (neutral). Stop the engine if
the temperature does not drop. Investigate and
correct the malfunction.
Oil pressure (2)
Normal operating oil pressure is between 150–500 kPa
(21–71
psi). At engine idle this is normally lower. The
acoustic alarm will automatically go off if the oil
pressure is too low.
IMPORTANT! If the alarm sounds: Stop the
engine immediately. Investigate and correct the
malfunction.
Charging (3)
The operating charge volatage is approx. 14 V. When
the engine is stopped battery voltage is approx. 12 V.
Cruising speed
Operating the engine at full speed should be avoided
since it is both uneconomical and uncomfortable.
Volvo Penta recommends a cruising speed in the
range 500–1000 rpm lower than maximum rpm at full
speed. Depending on hull type, choice of propeller,
load and conditions etc. the maximum engine speed
at top speed can vary, but it should be within the full
speedrange.
Full speed range: .......................... 2,800–3,200rpm
