Starting the engine
14
Starting in extreme cold
Certain preparations must be made to facilitate en-
gine starting, and in some cases to make starting
possible at all.
Use a winter grade fuel (of a well-known make) which
has been approved for the relevant temperature. This
reduces the risk of wax deposits in the fuel system.
At extremely low temperatures, the use of a fuel heat-
er is recommended.
For fully acceptable lubrication, a synthetic engine
oil of recommended viscosity for the relevant tem-
perature should be used. Please refer to the “Main-
tenance, lubrication system” chapter: Synthetic lubri-
cants are able to manage a wider temperature range
than mineral-based lubricants.
Pre-heat the coolant with a separately installed elec-
tric engine heater. In extreme cases, a diesel-burning
engine heater may be needed. Ask your Volvo Penta
dealer for advice.
IMPORTANT!
Make sure that the cooling sys-
tem is filled with a glycol mixture. Please refer to
the “Maintenance, cooling system” chapter:
The batteries should be in good condition. Cold
weather reduced battery capacity. Increased battery
capacity may be necessary.
