Repair instructions
The working methods described in the Service Man-
ual apply to work carried out in a workshop. The en-
gine has been removed from the boat and is installed
in an engine fixture. Unless otherwise stated recondi-
tioning work which can be carried out with the engine
in place follows the same working method.
Our joint responsibility
Each engine consists of many connected systems
and components. If a component deviates from its
technical specification the environmental impact of an
otherwise good engine may be increased significant-
ly. It is therefore vital that wear tolerances are main-
tained, that systems that can be adjusted are adjust-
ed properly and that Volvo Penta Genuine Parts as
used. The engine Maintenance Schedule must be fol-
lowed.
Warning symbols occurring in the Workshop Manual
(for their meaning see Safety information)
WARNING!
IMPORTANT!
NOTE!
Some systems, such as the components in the fuel
system, require special expertise and special testing
equipment for service and maintenance. Some com-
ponents are sealed at the factory for environmental
reasons. No work should be carried out on sealed
components except by authorized personnel.
are not in any way comprehensive since it is imposs-
ible to predict every circumstance under which serv-
ice work or repairs may be carried out. For this rea-
son we can only highlight the risks that can arise
when work is carried out incorrectly in a well-equipped
workshop using working methods and tools developed
by us.
Bear in mind that most chemicals used on boats are
harmful to the environment if used incorrectly. Volvo
Penta recommends the use of biodegradable de-
greasing agents for cleaning engine components, un-
less otherwise stated in a workshop manual. Take
special care when working on-board, that oil and
waste is taken for destruction and is not accidentally
pumped into the environment with bilge water.
All procedures for which there are Volvo Penta spe-
cial tools in this Workshop Manual are carried out
using these. Special tools are developed to rational-
ize working methods and make procedures as safe
as possible. It is therefore the responsibility of any
person using tools or working methods other than the
ones recommended by us to ensure that there is no
danger of injury, damage or malfunction resulting from
these.
Tightening torques
Tightening torques for vital joints that must be
tightened with a torque wrench are listed in workshop
manual “Technical Data”: “Tightening Torques” and
are contained in work descriptions in this Manual. All
torques apply for cleaned threads, screw heads and
mating surfaces. Torques apply for lightly oiled or dry
threads. If lubricants, locking fluid or sealing com-
pound are required for a screwed joint this information
will be contained in the work description and in
“Tightening Torques” Where no tightening torque is
stated for a joint use the general tightening torques
according to the tables below. The tightening torques
stated are a guide and the joint does not have to be
tightened using a torque wrench.
In some cases there may be special safety precau-
tions and instructions for the use of tools and chemi-
cals contained in this Workshop Manual. These spe-
cial instructions should always be followed if there
are no separate instructions in the Workshop Manual.
Certain elementary precautions and common sense
can prevent most risks arising. A clean workplace
and engine eliminates much of the danger of injury
and malfunction.
It is of the greatest importance that no dirt or foreign
particles get into the fuel system, lubrication system,
intake system, turbocharger, bearings and seals
when they are being worked on. The result can be
malfunction or a shorter operational life.
