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 before
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 instead.
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 specified.
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 drop-
ped tools can catch on rotating components and cau-
se severe injury. Volvo Penta recommends that all
service work which requires the engine to be running
should be done by a Volvo Penta authorised workshop.
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 equip-
ment 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 lift-
ing 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 turbo-
charger can cause severe injury. There is also a risk
that foreign bodies could be sucked in and cause ma-
chinery 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 en-
gine 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 manufac-
tured 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 starting
aid. Explosions could occur in the inlet manifold. Dan-
ger of personal injury.
