IMPORTANT:
To meet regulatory requirements for certified emission
levels must always recommended fuel according to
Technical Data in the Operator’s Manual be used.
At any leak detection on the fuel system
WARNING!
Wear safety goggles!
Be extremely careful when searching for leaks in the
fuel system high-pressure circuits. There is very high
pressure in the jet from pipes and injectors. The fuel
may penetrate the tissue and cause serious risk of
blood infection (septicemia).
Handling of fuel pipes
IMPORTANT:
High pressure pipes for fuel must not be bent or
straightened under any circumstances. Cracks may
occur. Damaged pipes must be replaced.
P0024468

Safety Information
Maneuvering
WARNING!
A rotating propeller can cause serious injury. Check
that nobody is in the water before engaging ahead or
astern. Never drive near bathers or in areas where
people could be in the water.
To avoid passengers falling overboard, refrain from
extreme and sudden rudder movements and ahead/
astern movements.
Lanyard switch
We recommend installing and using a lanyard switch
(optional), especially if the boat is capable of high
speeds. The lanyard switch stops the engine if the
driver looses control of the boat.
Accidents at sea
Maritime rescue statistics show that a large number of
boat accidents are caused by inadequate engine and
boat maintenance and the lack of safety equipment.
Make sure that the boat engine is properly maintained
by making sure that the recommended service is
performed, and that necessary safety equipment is
available and functional.
Stern turbulence
WARNING!
Carbon Monoxide Poisoning. When the boat moves
forward, an area of lower pressure air is formed behind
the boat — so-called turbulence. In certain conditions,
this turbulence can be powerful enough to draw the
exhaust fumes into the cockpit or cabin, creating a risk
of carbon monoxide poisoning to people on board.
The turbulence problem is most pronounced on tall,
broad-beamed boats with a transom stern. But even
for other boat types, low-pressure suction can be a
problem in certain conditions, such as driving with
cockpit awnings rigged. Other factors that can increase
the effect of turbulence are wind conditions, load
distribution, swell, trim, open hatches and ventilators
etc.
Most modern boats are, however, designed so that the
problem of low-pressure suction is very rare. Should
turbulence nevertheless occur, hatches or ventilators
must not be opened since this might exacerbate the
problem. Instead, try to change the speed, trim or load
distribution. If possible, take down or open the cockpit
awning. Contact your boat dealer for the best solution
for your boat.
47711262 01-2019 © AB VOLVO PENTA 13
