Introduction
This Instruction Manual has been compiled to help you get the most from your Volvo Penta engine. It contains all
the information you need in order to operate and maintain your engine safely and correctly. Please read the In-
struction Manual carefully and learn how to operate the engine, controls and other equipment safely.
Always have the Instruction Manual available. Keep it in a safe place and do not forget to give it to the new own-
er if you sell your boat.
Responsibility for the environment
We all want to live in a clean environment. Where we
can breathe clean air, see healthy trees, have clean
water in our lakes and oceans and enjoy the sunshine
without worrying about our health. Unfortunately this is
no longer something we can take for granted, we must
work hard together for the environment.
As a manufacturer of marine engines Volvo Penta has
a particular responsibility. This is why concern for the
environment is one of the cornerstones of our product
development. Today great advances have been made
in reducing exhaust emissions, fuel consumption and
engine noise in Volvo Penta’s wide range of engines.
We hope that you will take care to maintain these
properties. Always follow the advice in the Instruction
Manual about fuel grades, operation and maintenance
and you will avoid unnecessary negative impact on the
environment. If you notice changes such as increased
fuel consumption or exhaust smoke, please contact
your Volvo Penta dealer.
Adapt speed and distance so that swell and noise
generated by the boat do not disturb or harm wildlife,
moored boats, landing stages etc. Leave islands and
harbors in the same condition you would like to find
them. Always dispose of environmentally harmful
waste such as engine and transmission oil, coolant,
old paint, degreasing agents, paint and cleaning resi-
due and old batteries at designated disposal areas for
destruction.
Together we can work to make a valuable contribution
to preserving the environment.
Running-in
The engine must be run in for its first 10 operating
hours as follows: Operate the engine normally. Do not
operate it at full load except for short periods. Never
run the engine at a constant engine speed for long pe-
riods during the running-in period.
The engine can be expected to use more engine oil
during the running-in period than would otherwise be
normal. Check the oil level more often than is normally
recommended.
A First Service Inspection must be carried out after
20–50 running hours. For further information: See the
Warranty and Service Book.
Fuel and oils
Only use the fuel and oils recommended in the chap-
ter Technical Data. Other grades of fuel and oil can
cause operating problems, increased fuel consump-
tion and, in the long-term, a shorter engine service
life.
Always change oil, oil filters and fuel filters at the rec-
ommended intervals.
Service and replacement parts
Volvo Penta engines and are designed for maximum
service life and reliability. They are built to survive in
a tough marine environment, but also to cause as lit-
tle environmental impact as possible. Regular service
and the use of Volvo Penta Genuine parts will main-
tain these properties.
Volvo Penta have built up a world wide network of au-
thorized dealers. They specialize in Volvo Penta
products and can help you to maintain your engine in
top condition. They have the accessories, genuine re-
placement parts, test equipment and special tools
necessary to provide high-quality service and repair
work.
Always follow the maintenance intervals contained in
the Instruction Manual. Remember to state the en-
gine/transmission identification number when order-
ing service and replacement parts.
Certified engines
If you own an engine certificated for Lake Constance
and Switzerland or for any other area where exhaust
emissions are regulated by law, the following is im-
portant:
In some countries and regions environmental legisla-
tion requires that the engines in use there be certified.
Certification means that an engine type is tested and
approved by the authorities, and that the engine man-
ufacturer guarantees that all engines of that type
manufactured thereafter, correspond to the certified
engine. The manufacturer is also responsible for en-
suring that all engines of that type in operation fulfil
