Volvo Penta TAD1340VE, Operator'S Manual

Page: 16 / 106

Running in the engine
The engine must be run in during its first 10
operating hours, as follows:
Run the engine in normal operations. However, full
load may not be applied other than for short periods.
Never run the engine for long stretches at constant
speeds during this period.
Higher oil consumption is normal during the first 100–
200 hours of operation. For this reason, check the oil
level more frequently than the normal
recommendation.
When a disengageable clutch is installed, it should be
checked more carefully during the first days.
Adjustments may be necessary to compensate
bedding-in of the friction plates.
Fuel, oils and coolant
Only use the fuels and oils recommended in the
Operator’s Manual, since other grades may cause
malfunctions, increased fuel consumption and
possibly shorten the life of the engine.
Always change the oil, oil filters and fuel filters at the
specified maintenance intervals.
Make sure to always use suitable and correctly mixed
coolant.
Future warranty claims related to engine and
accessories may be denied if an unsuitable coolant
has been used, or if the instructions for coolant mixture
have not been followed.
