Safety Information 11
Exhaust heat shields may be installed to
protect oil or fuel carrying lines and pipes
from hot exhaust parts. To protect from pipe
or seal failure, install heat shields correctly.
Provide adequate and proper waste oil dis-
posal. Always dispose of waste liquids
according to Federal and local regulations.
Oil and fuel filters should be properly in-
stalled and housing covers tightened to the
proper torque when being changed.
Starting Aids
Do not use ether or similar starting aids
in a Volvo or any other engine with start
help. The Volvo engine is equipped with
a preheater. Introduction of ether or
other combustible material in the intake
manifold could cause a fire or explosion,
resulting in severe property damage, se-
vere personal injury or death.
DO NOT use ether or other combustible
starting aids on engines that have a heater
element or other heating devices installed
in the intake manifold for heating intake air
at cold-starts.

system or any other area where flammable
substances are being used, have a fire extin-
guisher available and know how to use it.
Inspect and have it serviced as recom-
mended on its instruction label.
