General Information
Use the lifting hooks mounted on the engine/
reverse gear when lifting the drive unit. Always
check that the lifting equipment is in good con-
dition and has the correct capacity for the lift
(weight of engine plus reverse gear and extra
equipment where appropriate).
WARNING! The components in the electrical
system and in the fuel system on Volvo Penta
products are designed and manufactured to
minimise the risks of explosion and fire. The
engine must not be run in environments sur-
rounded by explosive media.
For safe handling, and to avoid damaging the
components mounted on top of the engine, the
engine should always be lifted with a lifting bar
adjusted to the engine. All chains or wires
should run in parallel with each other and as
perpendicular to the top of the engine as possi-
ble.
When cleaning with high-pressure wash, ob-
serve the following: Never point the jet of water
at seals, rubber hoses, or electrical compo-
nents. Never use the high-pressure function
when washing the engine.
Special lifting equipment may be required to
ensure the right balance and safe handling if
other equipment connected to the engine alters
its centre of gravity.
NOTE! Pressure pipes must not bent, turned,
or exposed to other strain. Replace damaged
pressure pipes.
Never carry out work on an engine only sup-
ported by lifting equipment.
Always use Volvo Penta recommended fuel.
See the instruction handbook. The use of inferi-
or quality fuel can damage the engine. The use
of inferior fuel in a diesel engine can cause the
control rod to jam and the engine to overspeed,
with the risk of personal injury or damage to the
machine. Inferior fuel can also lead to higher
maintenance costs.
Never work alone when heavy components are
to be dismantled, even when safe lifting (e.g.
lockable block and tackle) equipment is used.
In most cases, two persons are required even
when lifting equipment is used: one to handle
the equipment and one to make sure that com-
ponents are not damaged. When working on-
board a boat always make sure in advance that
there is sufficient space to allow dismantling in
situ, without the risk of personal injury or dam-
age to materials.
