General information
About the Installation Manual
This publication is intended as a guide for the instal-
lation of Volvo Penta marine diesel engines for in-
board use. The publication is not comprehensive and
does not cover every possible installation, but is to be
regarded as recommendations and guidelines apply-
ing to Volvo Penta standards. Detailed Installation In-
structions are included in most of the accessory kits.
These recommendations are the result of many years
practical experience of installations from all over the
world. Departures from recommended procedures
etc. can however be necessary or desirable, in which
case the Volvo Penta organisation will be glad to of-
fer assistance in finding a solution for your particular
installation.
It is the sole responsibility of the installer to ensure
that the installation work is carried out in a satisfac-
tory manner, it is operationally in good order, the ap-
proved materials and accessories are used and the
installation meets all applicable rules and regulations.
This Installation Manual has been published for
professionals and qualified personnel. It is therefore
assumed that persons using this book have basic
knowledge of marine drive systems and are able to
carry out related mechanical and electrical work.
Volvo Penta continuously upgrades its products and
reserves the right to make changes. All the informa-
tion contained in this manual is based on product
data available at the time of going to print. Notification
of any important modifications to the product causing
changes to installation methods after this date will be
made in Service Bulletins.
Plan installations with care
Great care must be taken in the installation of en-
gines and their components if they are to operate
satisfactorily. Always make absolutely sure that the
correct specifications, drawings and any other data
are available before starting work. This will allow for
correct planning and installation right from the start.
Plan the engine room so that it is easy to carry out
routine service operations involving the replacement
of components. Compare the engine’s Service Manu-
al with the original drawings showing the dimensions.
It is very important when installing engines that no
dirt or other foreign matter gets into the fuel, cooling,
intake or turbocharger systems, as this can lead to
faults or engine seizure. For this reason,, the systems
must be sealed. Clean supply lines and hoses before
connecting them to the engine. Remove protective
engine plugs only when making a connection to an
external system.
Certified engines
The manufacturer of engines certified for national
and local environmental legislation (Lake Constance
for example) pledges that this legislation is met by
both new and currently operational engines. The
product must compare with the example approved
for certification purposes. So that Volvo Penta, as a
manufacturer, can pledge that currently operational
engines meet environmental regulations, the follow-
ing must be observed during installation:
• Servicing of ignition, timing and fuel injection sys-
tems (gasoline) or injector pumps, pump settings
and injectors (diesel) must always be carried out
by an authorised Volvo Penta workshop.
• The engine must not be modified in any way ex-
cept with accessories and service kits developed
for it by Volvo Penta.
• Installation of exhaust pipes and air intake ducts
for the engine compartment (ventilation ducts)
must be carefully planned as its design may affect
exhaust emissions.
• Seals may only be broken by authorised person-
nel.
IMPORTANT! Use only by Volvo Penta ap-
proved parts.
Using non-approved parts will mean that
AB Volvo Penta will no longer take respon-
sibility for the engine meeting the certified
design.
All damage and costs caused by the use of
non-approved replacement parts will not be
covered by Volvo Penta.
