Starting the engine
21
Starting in extreme cold
Certain preparations must be made to facilitate engine
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 tempera-
ture should be used. Please refer to the “Maintenance,
lubrication system” chapter: Synthetic lubricants are
able to manage a wider temperature range than miner-
al-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 weath-
er reduces battery capacity. Increased battery capaci-
ty may be necessary.
