Safety precautions
5
Turn the engine off and turn off the power at the
main switches (breakers) before carrying out
work on the electrical system.
Clutch adjustments must be carried out with the
engine turned off.
Use the lifting eyes fitted on the engine/reverse
gear when lifting the drive unit. Always check
that the lifting equipment used is in good condi-
tion and has the load capacity to lift the engine
(engine weight including reverse gear and any
extra equipment installed).
To ensure safe lifting and avoid damage to com-
ponents installed on the top of the engine use
an adjustable lifting beam. All chains and cables
must run parallel to each other and as perpen-
dicular as possible to the upper side of the en-
gine.
If extra equipment is installed on the engine
which alters its centre of gravity a special lifting
device is required to obtain the correct balance
for safe handling.
Never carry out work on an engine suspended
on a hoist.
Never work alone when installing heavy compo-
nents, even when using secure lifting equipment
such as a lockable block and tackle. Most lifting
devices require two people, one to see to the
lifting device and one to ensure that the compo-
nents do not get caught and damaged.
The components in the electrical system, the ig-
nition system (gasoline/petrol engines) and in
the fuel system on Volvo Penta products are de-
signed and manufactured to minimise risks of
fire and explosion. Engines should not run in en-
vironments containing explosive media.
Always use fuels recommended by Volvo Penta.
Refer to the Owner’s Manual. Use of fuels that
are of a lower quality can damage the engine. On
a diesel engine poor quality fuel can cause the
fuel control rack to stick causing the engine to
overspeed with resulting risk of damage to the
engine and personal injury. Poor fuel quality can
also lead to higher maintenance costs.
