H. Use and Maintenance
DO NOT let the odor of fuel go un checked. If
the odor of gasoline is noted, DO NOT START
ENGINE. If engine is running, SHUT OFF
EN GINE, ELEC TRI CAL AND HEAT
GEN ERATING EQUI P MENT. Investigate
and cor rect the situa tion imme diately! Have all
passen gers put on per sonal flotation de vices
and keep fire extin guishers at hand until the
situation is resolved.
Avoid serious injury or death from fire or
explosion resulting from leaking fuel. Have fuel
system inspected for leaks, check conditions of
all rubber hoses and re-tighten hose clamps
every 200 hours or at least once a year by an
authorized Volvo Penta service facility.
If areas are found within the fuel system that appear
questionable, have a qualified marine technician
in spect the system. A thorough fuel sys tem examina-
tion should be made by an experienced marine
technician at least once a year.
To help guard against damage, avoid the
stor age or han dling of gear near the fuel lines,
fittings and tanks.
I - 2 FUELING INSTRUCTIONS
1. Avoid fueling at night except in emergencies.
2. When moored at fueling pier:
a. Do not smoke, strike matches, or throw
switches.
b. Stop all engines, motors, fans, and devic es
that could produce sparks.
c. Put out all lights and galley stove.
d. On the DC cabin panel place the HELM MAIN
and CABIN MAIN breaker switches to OFF
position.
It is very important to keep track of hours and fuel
consumption to obtain an average gallon per hour
consumption figure. Note: The EVC display can be set
to show the fuel consumption rate. Use the fuel log
located at the back of this manual to assist in keeping
track of the fuel consumption rate. This will assist in
preventing any prob lems with running out of fuel on
the water.
Dealers are equipped with some general figures
on consumption which can be used as a guide until
specific information on your boat is deter mined.
Because of boating conditions, speed, weight and
other factors common to your situa tion, fuel consump-
tion will vary between your boat and consumption
figures developed by Four Winns.
When the fuel begins to register below the “full”
mark, the display readings will drop much faster until
it reads” empty”. When this occurs, the trim angle
has affected the sender reading. When the display
registers “empty”, the sender has bot tomed out and
there may be 3 to 4 gal lons of fuel in the tank.
See Figure I7.

G. Fuel Filters
Fuel filters are installed on each engine. Filters should
changed frequently to assure an ade quate supply of
fuel to the engine. Refer to the engine manual for
maintenance schedule as well as the procedure for
changing the fuel filter. The engine manual is included
in the owner’s information packet.
DO NOT attempt installation or maintenance of
any fuel system equipment unless thoroughly
familiar with the sys tems and experi enced in
making such instal lations or maintenance. Only
qualified personnel should perform fuel system
maintenance.
