Safety information

Lifting the engine
The existing lugs on the engine should be used for
lifting. Always check that the lifting devices are in
good condition and that they have the correct capac-
ity for the lift (engine weight together with auxiliaries,
if fitted). The engine should be lifted with an adjust-
able lifting boom for safe handling. All chains or
cables should be parallel to each other and should
be as square as possible to the top of the engine.
Please note that auxiliary equipment installed on the
engine could change its centre of gravity. Special lift-
ing devices may then be needed to obtain the correct
balance and safe handling. Never do any work on an
engine which
just
hangs from a lifting devise.
Before starting
Re-install all guards which have been removed dur-
ing service work, before re-starting the engine. Make
sure that there are no tools or other objects left be-
hind on the engine.
Never start a turbocharged engine without the air
filter in place. The rotating compressor turbine in the
turbocharger can cause severe injury. There is also a
risk that foreign bodies could be sucked in and cause
machinery damage.
Fire and explosion
Fuel and lubrication oil
All fuel, most lubricants and many chemicals are
flammable. Always read and observe the advice on
the packages.
Work on the fuel system must be done with the en-
gine cold. Fuel leakage and spills on hot surfaces or
electrical components can cause fires.
Store oil and fuel soaked rags and other flammable
material in a fire-proof manner. Oil soaked rags can
self-ignite in certain circumstances.
Never smoke when filling fuel, lubrication oil or close
to fuel filling stations or the engine bay.
Non-original spare parts
Components in fuel systems and electrical systems
on Volvo Penta engines are designed and manufac-
tured to minimize the risk of explosions and fire, in
accordance with applicable legal requirements.
The use of non-original spare parts can cause an ex-
plosion or fire.
Batteries
Batteries contain and give off an explosive gas, espe-
cially when charged. This gas is very flammable and
highly explosive.
Smoking, open flames or sparks must never occur in
or near to batteries or the battery locker.
Incorrect connection of a battery cable or start cable
can cause a spark which can be sufficient, in its turn,
to make the battery explode.
Start spray
Never use start spray or similar preparations to help
in starting an engine with air pre-heating (glow plugs
/ starting heater). Explosions could occur in the inlet
manifold. Danger of personal injury.
Hot surfaces and fluids
A hot engine always offers the risk of burns. Be on
your guard against hot surfaces: the exhaust mani-
fold, turbocharger, oil pan, charge air pipe, starting
heater, hot coolant and hot lubricating oil in pipes,
hoses etc.
Chemicals
Most chemicals, such as glycol, rust preventer, con-
servation oils, degreasers etc. are hazardous. Always
read and observe the advice on the packages.
Some chemicals, such as conservation oils, are flam-
mable and also hazardous to breathe. Ensure good
ventilation and use a protective mask for spraying. Al-
ways read and observe the advice on the packages.
Store chemicals and other hazardous material out of
the reach of children. Hand in surplus or used chemi-
cals to a recycling station for destruction.
Lubrication system
Hot oil can cause burns. Avoid skin contact with hot
oil. Make sure that the oil system is de-pressurized
before starting work. Never start or run the engine
with the oil filler cap removed, because of the risk of
oil spillage.
