Introduction
This instruction book has been prepared to give you the greatest possible benefit from your Volvo Penta marine
engine. It contains the information you need to be able to operate and maintain the engine safely and correctly.
Please read the instruction book carefully and learn to handle the engine, controls and other equipment in a
safe manner before you cast off on your maiden voyage.
Always have the instruction book available. Store it safely and do not forget to hand it over to the next owner if
you sell your boat.
Environmental care
All of us want to live in a clean, healthy environment.
Where we can breathe clean air, see healthy trees,
have clean water in lakes and seas, and be able to
enjoy the sunlight without fearing for our health. Un-
fortunately, this is not self-evident these days, it is
something all of us must work hard for.
As a manufacturer of marine engines, Volvo Penta
has particular responsibility and for this reason, en-
vironmental care is a core value in our product deve-
lopment. Volvo Penta has a wide engine programme
these days, where considerable progress has been
made in reducing exhaust fumes, fuel consumption,
engine noise etc.
We hope that you will be want to preserve these
values. Always observe the advice in the instruction
book about fuel grades, operation and maintenance,
to avoid unnecessary environmental impact. Please
contact your Volvo Penta dealer if you notice any
changes such as increased fuel consumption or in-
creased exhaust smoke.
Moderate your speed and distance so that wake and
noise do not disturb or damage animal life, moored
boats, jetties etc. Leave the archipelago and harbours
in the same state you would like to find them. Re-
member to always hand in drained oil, coolant, paint
and wash residue, used batteries etc. for destruction
at a recycling station.
If we all pull together, we can make a valuable contri-
bution to the environment together.
Higher oil consumption is normal during the running
in period. For this reason, check the oil level more
frequently than normally recommended.
After the first period of operation, the specified war-
ranty inspection “First service inspection” can be
done. For more information: Please refer to the War-
ranty and Service book.
Fuel and oils
Only use the fuels and oils recommended in the in-
struction book. Other grades can cause malfunctions,
increased fuel consumption and eventually even
shorten the life of the engine.
Always change the oil, oil filter and fuel filter at the
specified intervals.
Running in
The engine must be “run in” during its first 10 hours,
as follows:
Use the engine in normal operation. Full load should
only be applied for short periods. Never run the engine
for a long period of time at constant speed during this
period.
Service and spare parts
Volvo Penta marine engines are designed for high
reliability and long life. They are built to withstand
a marine environment, but also to have the smal-
lest possible environmental impact. Through regular
service and use of Volvo Penta original spare parts,
these qualities are retained.
Volvo Penta’s world-wide network of authorised dea-
lers is at your service. They are Volvo Penta product
specialists, and have the accessories, original spa-
res, test equipment and special tools needed for high
quality service and repair work.
Always observe the maintenance intervals in the
instruction book, and remember to note the engine/
transmission identification number when you order
service and spare parts.
