2865 DENALI
Volvo electronic engine monitoring system.
Engine Alarms
Most inboard/outboard engines are equipped with an audible alarm system mounted in the
helm area that monitors selected critical engine systems. The alarm will sound
if one of these systems begins to fail.
The engine alarm will sound during engine start-up or whenever the ignition
switch is positioned to “ON” and the engine is not operating. The alarm sounds
under these conditions because engine oil pressure is low. The alarm will cease
to sound when the engine oil pressure rises to the proper level.
Boats with Volvo diesel engines are equipped with an alarm panel display. The panel contains
symbols for coolant temperature, oil pressure, battery charging, and pre-heater. The symbols
indicate the problem system when the alarm sounds. Refer to the engine owner’s manual for
information on the alarms installed with your engine.
IF THE ENGINE ALARM SOUNDS, IMMEDIATELY RETURN THE THROTTLE TO IDLE AND
MOVE THE SHIFT CONTROL TO THE NEUTRAL POSITION. SHUT OFF THE ENGINE UN-
TIL THE PROBLEM IS FOUND AND CORRECTED.
Compass
The compass is on top of the helm. To adjust the compass for your area, read the instructions
on “Compass Compensation” given to you in the literature packet. The compass cannot be
adjusted accurately at the factory as it must be compensated for the influence of the electrical
equipment and electronics unique to your boat. Therefore, the compass should adjusted by
a professional after the electronics and additional electrical accessories are installed and
before operating the boat.
Instruments Maintenance
Electrical protection for instruments and ignition circuitry is provided by a set of circuit
breakers located near the main battery switch. The ignition switch should be sprayed
periodically with a contact cleaner/lubricant. The ignition switch and all instruments,
controls, etc. should be protected from the weather when not in use. Excessive exposure can
lead to gauge and ignition switch difficulties.
