Repair instructions
The working methods described in the workshop man-
ual apply to work carried out in a workshop. For this
reason, the engine is lifted out and mounted on an en-
gine support. Unless otherwise stated reconditioning
work which can be carried out with the engine in place
follows the same working method.
The warning signs which occur in the workshop manual
(please refer to “Safety information” for their meanings).
WARNING!
IMPORTANT!
NOTE!
are not comprehensive in any way, since we can not of
course foresee everything, because service work is
done in highly varying circumstances. For this reason,
all we can do is to point out the risks which we believe
could occur due to incorrect work in a well-equipped
workshop, using work methods and tools tested by us.
All operations described in the Workshop Manual for
which there are Volvo Penta Special Tools available
assume that these tools are used when carrying out
the repair. Volvo Penta Special Tools have been de-
veloped to ensure the most safe and rational working
methods possible. It is therefore the responsibility of
anyone using other tools or other working methods
than we recommend to determine that there is no risk
of personal injury or mechanical damage or malfunc-
tion as a result.
In some cases special safety precautions and user in-
structions may be required in order to use the tools and
chemicals mentioned in the Workshop Manual. These
rules must always be observed, so there are no special
instructions about this in the workshop manual.
By following these basic recommendations and using
common sense it is possible to avoid most of the
risks involved in the work. A clean work place and a
clean engine will eliminate many risks of personal
injury and engine malfunction.
Above all, when work on fuel systems, lubrication
systems, inlet systems, turbocharger, bearing caps
and seals is done, it is extremely important that no
dirt or other kinds of foreign particles are able to get
in, since this would otherwise cause malfunctions or
shortened repair life.
