Check the belts for:
•
Missing chunks
•
Dry rot
•
Exposed cords or excessive fraying
•
Oil, grease, or coolant
Check the pulley surfaces for corrosion. A rough pulley
surface will quickly wear the belt.
If you suspect a belt needs replacing, refer to the
Workshop Manual
for the procedure or see your Volvo
Penta dealer.

Because of the special tools required, a Volvo Penta
dealer must do the engine alignment. This should be
done during off-season storage preparations.
NOTICE!
Failure to periodically check engine align-
ment may result in premature failure of the engine cou-
pler.

To ensure the engine oil is filled to the correct level, the
level must always be checked on the dipstick. This
includes refilling the crankcase as part of changing the
engine oil.
Checking Engine Oil Level
During the break-in period, slightly higher oil consump-
tion is possible. Check the oil level before every trip.
