Volvo Penta IPS drive-unit
The drive-unit is hydraulic, which means that forward/reverse engagement and disengagement is hydraulically
activated. The drive-unit lubrication system has an oil filter and oil cooler. The drive-unit is equipped with sole-
noid valves for electronically controlled shifting.
The drive-unit is protected against galvanic corrosion. This protection consists of sacrificial anodes and ground
braids. The ground braids maintain a connection between the different components of the drive-unit. A broken
connection can result in the rapid corrosion of an individual component even though the protection is otherwise
effective. Check ground braids every year. Faulty electrical installation can also cause the break down of the
galvanic protection. Damage due to electrolytic corrosion occurs rapidly and is often extensive. For further infor-
mation see the chapter: “Electrical system”.
Oil level
IMPORTANT!
The drive-unit must been shut
down for at least 12 hours before a correct oil lev-
el check can be done. Check the oil level every
day before starting the engine.
Open the oil filler cap (2) slowly so that the overpres-
sure disappers. Remove the dipstick(1) by turning it
anti clockwise. Dry off the dipstick and reinstall it in the
drive-unit,
screw it into place.
Remove the oil dipstick
again and check the oil level. The correct oil level is
inside the marked area.
If necessary, top the oil up through the filling hole.
Please refer to the “Technical Data” chapter for oil
grades and volume.
IMPORTANT!
Never over-fill the drive-unit. The
oil level must always be inside or at the recom-
mended levels.
Changing oil and filter
1. Open the oil filling (2) cap slowly so that the over-
pressure disappears. Unscrew the draining plug
(3) and allow the oil to run out.
2. Change the filter.
3. Refit the drain plug and a new gasket.
NOTE!
Always replace the gasket when the drain
plug has been removed.
4. Measure up the correct quantity of oil and fill the
drive-unit with the oil via the oil filling hole. Please
refer to the “Technical Data” chapter for oil grades
and volume.
IMPORTANT!
Never over-fill the drive-unit. The
oil level must always be inside or at the recom-
mended levels.
