Safety information
Group 30: Electrical system

The engine should be lifted with a customized
or adjustable lifting boom for safe handling and
to avoid damaging components on top of the
engine. All chains or cables should be parallel
to each other and should be as square as pos-
sible to the top of the engine. If other equipment
connected to the engine has altered its center
of gravity, special lifting devises may be needed
to obtain the correct balance and safe handling.
Never do any work on an engine which just
hangs from a liftingdevise.
Never work alone when removing heavy engine
components, even when using lifting devices
such as locking tackle lifts. When using a lifting
device two people are usually required to do the
work, one to take care of the lifting device and
another to ensure that components are lifted
clear and not damaged during the lifting opera-
tions.
When you work aboard a boat, always make
sure that there is enough space for disassembly
where you are working, with no risk of personal
injury or material damage.
Components in the electrical and fuel systems
on Volvo Penta products have been designed
to minimize the risks of explosion and fire. The
engine must not be run in areas where there
are explosive materials.
WARNING! Fuel delivery pipes must not be
bent or straightened under any circumstances.
Damaged pipes must be replaced.
Remember the following when washing with a
high pressure washer: Never aim the water jet
at seals, rubber hoses or electrical components.
Never use a high pressure washer for engine
cleaning.
Only use the fuels recommended by Volvo Pen-
ta. Refer to the Instruction Book. Use of fuels
that are of a lower quality can damage the en-
gine. Poor fuel can also lead to higher-
maintenance costs.
