This is a perfect time to discuss with your Volvo Penta dealer any questions about your engine that may have arisen
during the first 20 hours of operation and establish a routine preventive maintenance schedule.
In the US, Canada, and Mexico, the 20-hour check is paid for by the boat owner and performed by your Volvo Penta
dealer at local rates. In other markets, warranty inspection is paid for according to the warranty policy for Importers.
Operating after break-in period _________________________________________________
After the break-in period, the engine can be operated at any RPM from idle to full throttle. Cruising at 3600 RPM or
less, however, saves fuel, reduces noise, and prolongs engine life.
Before starting _______________________________________________________________
Note:
Do not start the engine out of the water unless you have an optional flushing adapter. Follow the adapter
manufacturer’s instructions for attaching and running the engine out of water.
Familiarize yourself with the operation of the remote control supplied with your boat, then proceed as follows.
To prevent a possible explosion, operate the blower as recommended by the boat manufacturer before start-
ing the engine. If the engine compartment is not equipped with a blower, open the engine cover or hatch
before starting to disperse any gasoline fumes that may be present. Leave the hatch open until after the
engine is running.
1.
Start the boat’s bilge blower and run for at least four (4) minutes. Frequently check boat’s bilge area for gasoline
fumes.
2.
Check the bilge for excessive water accumulation. Always keep the bilge clean and dry.
The water level in the boat’s bilge will increase when you operate your boat at a high incline before you reach
planing speed. Excessive water in the bilge can cause engine damage.
3.
Open the fuel cock (if so equipped).
4.
Make sure that there are no fuel, engine coolant, or oil leaks.
5.
Check engine oil level.
