Safety rules for operation and maintenance
Daily checks
Make it a habit to give the engine and engine bay
a visual check before operating (
before starting
the engine
) and after operation (
when you have
stopped the engine
). This helps you to quickly dis-
cover whether any leakage of fuel, coolant, oil or any
other abnormal event has happened, or is about to
happen,.
Fuel filling
There is always a risk of fire and explosion during
fuel filling. Smoking is not permissible, and the en-
gine should be stopped.
Never over-fill the tank. Shut the tank cap securely.
Only use the fuel recommended in the instruction
book. The wrong grade of fuel can cause malfunc-
tions or stop the engine. In a diesel engine, it can
also cause the injection pump to bind and the engine
will over-rev, entailing a strong risk of personal injury
and machinery damage.
Carbon monoxide poisoning
Only start the engine in a well- ventilated area. When
operated in a confined space, exhaust fumes and
crankcase gases must be ventilated.
Operation
The engine must not be operated in environments
which contain explosive media since none of the
electrical and mechanical components are explosion
proof.
Going close to a running engine is a safety risk. Hair,
fingers, loose clothes, or dropped tools can catch on
rotating components and cause severe injury.
When engines are supplied without touch guards, all
rotating components and hot surfaces must be pro-
tected after installation in their application, if neces-
sary for personal safety.
Ignition lock
If the instrument panel does not have a key switch,
the engine room must be lockable, to prevent unau-
thorized persons from starting the engine. Alterna-
tively, a lockable main switch can be used.
Care and maintenance
Knowledge
The instruction book contains instructions for doing
the most common service and maintenance tasks in
a safe and correct manner. Read them carefully be-
fore starting work.
Literature for more major tasks is available from your
Volvo Penta dealer.
Never do a job if you are not entirely sure about how
to do it. Please contact your Volvo Penta dealer and
ask for assistance instead.
Stop the engine.
Stop the engine before opening or removing the en-
gine hatch/hood. Care and maintenance work should
be done with the engine stopped unless otherwise
specified.
Prevent the engine from being started by cutting the
current with the battery isolator, or remove the cable
from the battery positive pole before you start service
work. Fix a notice by the operator’s seat to say that
work is in progress.
Working with, or going close to a running engine is
a safety risk. Hair, fingers, loose clothes, or dropped
tools can catch on rotating components and cause
severe injury. Volvo Penta recommends that all ser-
vice work which requires the engine to be running
should be done by a Volvo Penta authorized work-
shop.
