Safety Precautions
Introduction
Check that the warning or information decals on
the product are always clearly visible. Replace
decals that have been damaged or painted
over.
This Workshop Manual contains technical data, de-
scriptions and repair instructions for Volvo Penta
products or product versions contained in the con-
tents list. Ensure that the correct workshop literature
is being used.
Read the safety information and the Workshop
Manual “General Information” and “Repair In-
structions” carefully before starting work.
Never use start spray or similar to start the en-
gine. The starter element may cause an explo-
sion in the inlet manifold. Danger of personal in-
jury.
Important
In this book and on the engine you will find the follow-
ing special warning symbols.
Avoid opening the filler cap for engine coolant
system (freshwater cooled engines) when the
engine is still hot. Steam or hot coolant can
spray out. Open the coolant filler cap carefully
and slowly to release pressure before removing
the cap completely. Take great care if a cock,
plug or engine coolant line must be removed
from a hot engine. It is difficult to anticipate in
which direction steam or hot coolant can spray
out.
WARNING! If these instructions are not fol-
lowed there is a danger of personal injury, ex-
tensive damage to the product or serious me-
chanical malfunction.
IMPORTANT! Used to draw your attention to
something that can cause damage, product
malfunction or damage to property.
NOTE! Used to draw your attention to important infor
mation that will facilitate work or operations.
Hot oil can cause burns. Avoid skin contact
with hot oil. Ensure that the lubrication system
is not under pressure before commencing work
on it. Never start or operate the engine with the
oil filler cap removed, otherwise oil could be
ejected.
Below is a summary of the risks and safety precau-
tions you should always observe or carry out when
operating or servicing the engine.
Immobilize the engine by turning off the power
supply to the engine at the main switch (switch-
es) and lock it (them) in the OFF position before
starting work. Set up a warning notice at the en-
gine control point or helm.
Stop the engine and close the sea cock before
carrying out operations on the engine cooling
system.
Generally, all servicing should be carried out
with the engine switched off. Some work (carry-
ing out certain adjustments for example) re-
quires the engine to be running. Approaching a
running engine is dangerous. Loose clothing or
long hair can fasten in rotating parts and cause
serious personal injury.
If working in proximity to a running engine, care-
less movements or a dropped tool can result in
personal injury. Avoid burns. Take precautions
to avoid hot surfaces (exhausts, turbochargers,
charge air pipes and starter elements etc.) and
liquids in supply lines and hoses when the en-
gine is running or has been turned off immedi-
ately prior to starting work on it. Reinstall all
protective parts removed during service opera-
tions before starting the engine.
Only start the engine in a well-ventilated area. If
operating the engine in an enclosed space, en-
sure that exhaust gases and crankcase ventila-
tion emissions are ventilated out of the working
area.
Always use protective goggles where there is a
danger of pieces of metal, sparks from grinding,
acid or other chemicals being thrown into your
eyes. Your eyes are very sensitive, injury can
lead to loss of sight!
