Shut down
Inhibition should be carried out to ensure that the engine and other equipment are not damaged while shut
down. It is important that this is done properly and that nothing is forgotten. We have therefore provided a
checklist covering the most important points.
Before shutting down for a long period, an authorised Volvo Penta workshop should inspect the engine and
other equipment. Have any necessary repairs or service work carried out so that the equipment is in good condi-
tion for the next time it is started.
WARNING! Read the chapter “Maintenance” carefully before starting work. It contains instructions on
how to carry out the work safely and correctly.
Storage
●
Change engine oil and replace oil filter.
●
Replace fuel filter. Replace fuel pre-filter if in-
stalled.
●
Run engine to normal operating temperature.
●
Check the condition of the engine coolant anti-
freeze. Top up if required.
IMPORTANT! An anti-corrosion mixture in
the engine coolant system provides no pro-
tection against freezing. If there is any possi-
bility the engine will be subjected to freezing
temperatures, the system must be drained.
●
Drain any water and contaminants from the fuel
tank. Fill the tank completely with fuel to avoid
condensation.
●
Clean the outside of the engine. Do not use a
high pressure spray to clean the engine. Touch
up any damaged areas of paintwork with Volvo
Penta original paint.
●
Disconnect the battery leads. Clean and charge
the batteries. NOTE! A poorly charged battery
may burst as a result of freezing.
●
Spray electrical system components with mois-
ture-repellent spray.
Bringing out of storage
●
Check the engine oil level. Top up if necessary. If
there is inhibiting oil in the system, drain and fill
with new oil, change oil filter. For correct oil
grade: See chapter “Maintenance”, lubrication
system.
●
Close/tighten drain cocks/plugs.
●
Check drive belts.
●
Check the condition of rubber hoses and tighten
hose clamps.
●
Check engine coolant level and antifreeze protec-
tion. Top up if necessary.
●
Connect the fully charged batteries.
●
Start the engine. Check that there are no fuel, en-
gine coolant or exhaust gas leaks and that all
control functions are operating.
