Engine Submersion
Engine Submersion
1 Remove the engine from the water as quickly as
possible.
2 Contact your local Volvo Penta dealer for service.
•
Your dealer will need to drain all water from the
engine and immediately lubricate all internal
parts.
•
All electrical devices must also be dried and
inspected for water damage.
3 After the engine has placed back in service, fre-
quently check the engine compartment for gasoline
fumes, fluid leaks, and corrosion.
NOTICE!
Delay in completing the above actions will
result in extensive engine damage.
Starting Using Auxiliary
Batteries
Jump-starting a Drained Battery
DANGER!
Never allow an open flame or electric sparks near the
battery or batteries. Never smoke in proximity to the
batteries. The batteries give off hydrogen gas during
charging which, when mixed with air, can form an
explosive gas. This gas is easily ignited and highly vol-
atile.
WARNING!
Risk of explosion.
Jumper cables connected to the wrong battery terminal
(example; positive cable to negative terminal) will
cause a spark which could ignite gases created by the
battery or any fuel vapors in the engine compartment.
1 Check that the auxiliary or jumping battery has the
same voltage as the engine electrical system.
2 Connect the positive (red) cable to the plus (+) ter-
minal on the discharged battery and then to the
positive (+) terminal on the auxiliary battery.
3 Connect the negative (black) cable to the negative
(-) terminal on the discharged battery and then to a
grounding point on the engine connected to the
auxiliary battery.
