General Information
About the Workshop Manual
This Workshop Manual contains technical information,
descriptions, and repair instructions for the standard
versions of the engine units MB10A.
The Workshop Manual may show work procedures
conducted on an optional engine according to the
above list. This implies that the illustrations and dia-
grams that present certain parts, may in some cases
not agree with the other engines. The repair methods
remain essentially the same, however. Wherever there
is a difference, this is clearly indicated and important
differences are reported separately. The engine desig-
nation and number are given on the number plate. The
motor designation and number should always be given
during all correspondence.
The Workshop Manual is primarily produced for Volvo
Penta service workshops and their qualified person-
nel. It is therefore assumed that persons using this
manual have a basic knowledge of marine drive sys-
tems, and can perform the relevant work of a mechan-
ical and electrical nature.
Volvo Penta continuously develops its products, and
therefore reserves the right to introduce modifications.
All the information in this manual is based on product
data available prior to publication. Any amendments or
service methods of essential importance that have
been introduced for the product after this date are con-
firmed in the form of Service Bulletins.
Spare parts
Spare parts for the electrical and fuel systems are
subject to different national safety requirements, e.g.
U.S. Coast Guard Safety Regulations. Volvo Penta
Genuine Spare Parts comply with these requirements.
All types of damage resulting from the use of non gen-
uine Volvo Penta spare parts for the product in ques-
tion will not be regulated by the warranty undertakings
of Volvo Penta.
Certificated engines
For service and repair on an engine certificated for
any area where exhaust emissions are regulated
by law, the following is important:
Certification means that an engine type is inspected
and approved by the authorities. The engine manufac-
turer guarantees that all engines manufactured of that
type correspond to the certified engine.
This places special requirements for maintenance
and service as follows:
●
The maintenance and service intervals recom-
mended by Volvo Penta must be observed.
●
Only genuine Volvo Penta replacement parts may
be used.
●
The service of injection pumps and injectors or
pump settings must always be carried out by an
authorized Volvo Penta workshop.
●
The engine must not be modified in any way ex-
cept with accessories and service kits approved
by Volvo Penta.
●
No modifications to the exhaust pipes and air
supply ducts for the engine may be undertaken.
●
Seals may only be broken by authorized person-
nel.
Otherwise the general instructions contained in the In-
struction Book concerning operation, service and
maintenance must be followed.
IMPORTANT! Late or inadequate maintenance/
service or the use of spare parts other than Vol-
vo Penta original spare parts will invalidate AB
Volvo Penta’s responsibility for the engine spec-
ification being in accordance with the certificat-
ed variant.
Volvo Penta accepts no responsibility or liability
for any damage or costs arising due to the
above.
