Safety information
Safety advice for care and maintenance work
Preparations
Knowledge
The Instruction Book contains instructions for doing
the most common service and maintenance tasks in
a safe and correct manner. Read them carefully be-
fore starting work.
Literature for more major tasks is available from your
Volvo Penta dealer.
Never do a job if you are not entirely sure about how to
do it. Contact a Volvo Penta dealer for assistance ins-
tead.
Stop the engine.
Stop the engine before opening or removing the engine
hatch/hood. Care and maintenance work should be
done with the engine stopped unless otherwise speci-
fied.
Prevent the engine from being started by cutting the
current with the battery isolator, or remove the cable
from the battery positive pole before you start service
work. Fix a notice by the helmsman’s seat to say that
work is in progress.
Working with, or going close to a running engine
is a safety risk. Loose clothes, long hair, fingers or
dropped tools can catch on rotating components and
cause severe injury. Volvo Penta recommends that all
service work which requires the engine to be running
should be done by a Volvo Penta authorised work-
shop.
Lifting the engine
The existing lugs on the engine (or reverse gear)
should be used for lifting. Always check that the lifting
devices are in good condition and that they have the
correct capacity for the lift (engine weight together
with reverse gear and auxiliaries, if fitted). The engine
should be lifted with an adjustable lifting boom for
safe handling. All chains or cables should be parallel
to each other and should be as square as possible
to the top of the engine. Please note that auxiliary
equipment installed on the engine could change its
centre of gravity. Special lifting devices may then
be needed to obtain the correct balance and safe
handling. Never do any work on an engine which just
hangs from a lifting device.
Before starting
Re-install all guards which have been removed
during service work, before re-starting the engine.
Make sure that there are no tools or other objects left
behind on the engine.
Never start a turbocharged engine without the air
filter in place. The rotating compressor turbine in the
turbocharger can cause severe injury. There is also a
risk that foreign bodies could be sucked in and cause
machinery damage.
Fire and explosion
Fuel and lubrication oil
All fuel, most lubricants and many chemicals are
flammable. Always read and observe the advice on
the packages.
Work on the fuel system must be done with the eng-
ine cold. Fuel leakage and spills on hot surfaces or
electrical components can cause fires.
Store oil and fuel soaked rags and other flammable
material in a fire-proof manner. Oil soaked rags can
self-ignite in certain circumstances.
Never smoke when filling fuel, lubrication oil or close
to fuel filling stations or the engine bay.
Non-original spare parts
Components in fuel systems and electrical systems
on Volvo Penta engines are designed and manufactu-
red to minimise the risk of explosions and fire, in ac-
cordance with applicable legal requirements.
The use of non-original spare parts can cause a fire.
Batteries
Batteries contain and give off an explosive gas, espe-
cially when charged. This gas is very flammable and
highly explosive.
Smoking, open flames or sparks must never occur in
or near to batteries or the battery locker.
Incorrect connection of a battery cable or start cable
can cause a spark which can be sufficient, in its turn,
to make the battery explode.
Start spray
Never use start spray or similar products as a star-
ting aid. Explosions could occur in the inlet manifold.
Danger of personal injury.
