Safety precautions
Introduction
This Installation Manual contains the information you
will need to install your Volvo Penta product correctly.
Check that you have the correct Installation Manual.
Read the
Safety precautions
and the
General in-
formation
in the installation manual carefully be-
fore servicing or operating the engine.
Important
The following special warning symbols are found in
this manual and on the engine.
WARNING! Danger of personal injury, damage
to property or mechanical malfunction if the in-
structions are not followed.
IMPORTANT! Possible damage or mechanical
malfunction in products or property.
NOTE! Important information to facilitate work proc-
esses or operation.
Below is a list of the risks that you must always be
aware of and the safety measures you must always
carry out.
Plan in advance so that you have enough room
for safe installation and (future) dismantling.
Plan the engine compartment (and other com-
partments such as the battery compartment)
so that all service points are accessible. Make
sure it is not possible to come into contact with
rotating components, hot surfaces or sharp
edges when servicing and inspecting the en-
gine. Ensure that all equipment (pump drives,
compressors for example) has protective cov-
ers.
Make sure the engine is immobilized by not
connecting the electrical system or turn-
ing off the power supply to the engine at the
main switch (breakers), and locking the switch
(breakers) in the OFF position for as long as
work continues. Set up a warning notice at the
engine control point or helm.
As a rule, no work should be done on a running
engine. However, some work e. g. adjustments,
requires a running engine. Approaching an
engine that is running is a safety risk. Loose
clothing or long hair can fasten in rotating parts
and cause serious personal injury. If working in
proximity of a running engine, careless move-
ments or a dropped tool can result in personal
injury. Take precautions to avoid hot surfaces
(exhaust pipes, turbochargers, charge air mani-
folds, starting elements etc.) and hot liquids in
supply lines and hoses in engines that are run-
ning or have just been turned off. Reinstall all
protective parts removed during service opera-
tions before starting work on the engine.
Ensure that the warning or information decals
on the product are always visible. Replace de-
cals which are damaged or painted over.
Turbocharged engines: Never start the engine
without installing the air cleaner (ACL). The ro-
tating compressor parts in the turbocharger can
cause serious personal injury. Foreign objects
entering the intake ducts can also cause me-
chanical damage.
Never use starting spray in the air intake. Use
of such products could result in an explosion
in the air intake pipe. There is a danger of per-
sonal injury.
Do not open the filler cap for the engine coolant
(freshwater cooled engines) when the engine is
hot. Steam or hot engine coolant can be eject-
ed and any pressure in the system will be lost.
Open the filler cap slowly and release coolant
system pressure (freshwater cooled engines), if
the filler cap or drain cock must be opened, or if
a plug or engine coolant line must be removed
on a hot engine. Steam or hot coolant can be
ejected.
Hot oil can cause burns. Avoid skin contact with
hot oil. Ensure that the oil system is depressu-
rised before starting work on it. Never start or
run the engine without the oil filler cap in place
because of the risk of oil being ejected.
If the boat is in the water, stop the engine and
close the bottom valve before carrying out op-
erations on the cooling system.
Only start the engine in an area that is well
ventilated. Beware, the gases are poisonous
to breathe in
. When operating in an enclosed
space, use exhaust extraction to lead the ex-
haust and crankcase gases away from the
place of work.
