Power Steering Reservoir Fluid Level
Whenever you check the engine oil, also remove the
steering reservoir dipstick and check the fluid level.
Wipe the dipstick and note the “hot” and “cold” fluid
levels. If needed, add Volvo Penta Power Trim/Tilt
and Steering Fluid. Do not overfill the pump reservoir.
CAUTION! Never fill the steering system with
an oil of unknown quality. Non-recommended
oil may cause steering operation impairment
or component damage.
Do not allow contaminants to enter the reservoir when
checking or filling the oil level.
Power Trim/Tilt Fluid Level
The power trim and tilt assembly contains an electric
motor, hydraulic pump, and reservoir.
At the beginning of each boating season, check the
fluid level in the reservoir:
1. With the drive unit trimmed in (down) as far as
possible, remove the fill cap E .
2. Check the fluid level. It should be between the
minimum and maximum marks ( D & C ) on the
reservoir. If needed, add Volvo Penta Power
Trim/Tilt and Steering Fluid.
3. Replace the fill cap and tighten securely.
Shaft Spline and Bearing Lubrication
The primary shaft and bearings must be lubricated
each year and whenever the drive unit is removed.
This procedure requires the removal of the drive unit;
therefore, your Volvo Penta dealer should do it. An
ideal time to have this done is during the winterization
process or in the spring when preparing to launch for
the first time. Failure to have primary shaft splines and
bearings lubricated each year may result in damage to
the drive unit.
Tie Rod (Twin Installations Only)
Check the rod connecting the drive units, particularly
if you hit an obstacle. If the tie rod is bent, loose, or
damaged, have it serviced immediately by your Volvo
Penta dealer. In the meantime, operate your boat at
slow speeds only.
WARNING! The tie bar is an integral part of
the steering system and is a vital safety part.
A damaged tie rod may hinder steering oper-
ation or render it completely ineffective. Al-
ways replace a damaged tie bar. Never try to
straighten or weld a damaged tie rod.
