Safety Information
Your new boat
Read the instruction books and other information
carefully, which came with your new boat. Learn to
handle the engine, controls and other equipment in a
safe and correct manner.
If this is your first boat, or a type of boat you are not
experienced in using, we recommend that you practice operating the boat in peace and quiet. Get to know
the way the boat reacts to sea and to the controls
under different speed, sea and loading conditions
before you cast off for your first “real” maiden voyage.
Remember that the captain of every boat is required
by law to know and to observe applicable rules for
traffic and safety at sea. Get to know the rules which
apply to you and your waters, by contacting the relevant authority or sea safety organization.
It is a good idea to go on some kind of boat operation
course. We recommend that you contact a regional
boat or sea safety organization to find a suitable
course.
Daily checks
Make it a habit to give the engine and engine bay a
visual check before driving (before starting the
engine) and after operation (when you have stopped
the engine). This helps you to quickly discover
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 engine
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 serious malfunctions, power loss or stop the engine.
Do not start the engine
Do not start the engine if you suspect a fuel or LPG
leak in the boat, close to explosive media, or if there
is a spillage of explosive media. An explosive environment entails a risk of fire and/or explosion.
Manoeuvring
Avoid sudden or surprising rudder movements and
gear shifting. There is a risk that passengers could fall
over, or overboard.
A rotating propeller can cause severe injury. Check
that there is nobody in the water before you engage
forward / astern (reverse) drive. Never drive close to
47702088 - Downloaded from www.volvopenta.com 02/06/2011 18:54:55
bathers or in areas where you could reasonably
expect that people could be in the water.
Accidents and near misses
Life saving statistics show that inadequate care of
boats and engines, and deficiencies in safety equipment are frequent causes of accidents and near
misses at sea.
Make sure that your boat and engine are maintained
in accordance with the advice in each instruction
book, and that the necessary safety equipment is on
board, and is in working condition.

Carbon monoxide poisoning
P0003073
When a boat moves forwards, an area of low pressure
air forms behind the boat. In adverse conditions, this
low pressure can be so strong that the boat’s own
exhaust fumes are sucked into the cockpit or cabin,
which entails a risk of carbon monoxide poisoning for
all aboard.
The problem of low-pressure suction is worst in high,
wide boats with a square transom. But even in other
types of boats, low-pressure suction can be a problem
in some conditions, such as if you drive with the hood
up. Other factors which increase the low-pressure
effect are wind conditions, load distribution, pitching,
trimming, open windows and ventilators etc.
Safety Information
Most modern boats are designed so that the problem
of low-pressure suction is very rare, however. If lowpressure suction does occur anyway, do not open
hatches or ventilators in the forward part of the boat.
Strangely enough, this makes the problem worse. Try
changing speed, trimming or load distribution instead.
Also try taking down/opening the hood or modifying it
in some other manner. Ask your boat dealer for advice
about the best solution for your particular boat.
Remember
• Safety equipment: Life jackets for everybody aboard, communication equipment, emergency
rockets, approved fire extinguisher, first aid kit, life buoy, anchor, paddle, torches etc.
• Spare parts and tools: Impeller, fuel filters, fuses, tape, hose clamps, engine oil, propeller and
tools for the jobs you could be expected to have to do.
47702088 - Downloaded from www.volvopenta.com 02/06/2011 18:54:55
• Take your chart out and study your planned route. Calculate distance and fuel consumption.
Listen to weather reports.
• Tell your friends/relatives about route plans if you undertake a long journey. Remember to
notify changed plans or delays.
• Inform everybody aboard about where the safety equipment is located, and how it works. Make
sure that there is more than one person aboard who can start and operate the boat safely.
This list can be extended, since the need for safety equipment varies with the type of boat, and
where or how it is used etc. We recommend that you ask a regional boat or sea safety organization
for more detailed maritime safety information.
47702088 05-2011 5
Safety Information
Preparations
Knowledge
The operator’s manual contains instructions on how
to carry out general maintenance and service operations safely and correctly. Read the instructions carefully before starting work.
Service literature covering more complicated operations is available from your Volvo Penta dealer.
Never carry out any work on the engine if you are
unsure of how it should be done, contact your Volvo
Penta dealer who will be glad to offer assistance.
Stop the engine
Stop the engine before opening or removing engine
hatches. Unless otherwise specified all maintenance
and service must be carried out with the engine stopped.
To prevent accidental start of the boat engine, remove
the ignition key, turn off the power supply to the engine
at the main switches and lock them in the OFF position before starting work. Put up a warning sign in the
control position that work on the engine is being carried out.
Approaching or working on an engine which is running
is a safety risk. Loose clothing, hair, fingers or a dropped tool can be caught in the rotating parts of the
engine and cause serious personal injury. Volvo
Penta recommend that all servicing with the engine
running should be undertaken by an authorized Volvo
Penta workshop.
Lifting the engine
When lifting the engine, use the lifting eyes installed
on the engine (reverse gear where installed). Always
47702088 - Downloaded from www.volvopenta.com 02/06/2011 18:54:55
check that lifting equipment is in good condition and
has sufficient load capacity to lift the engine (engine
weight including reverse gear and any extra equipment installed). For safety’s sake lift the engine using
an adjustable lifting beam. All chains and cables
should run parallel to each other and as perpendicular
as possible in relation to the top of the engine. Bear
in mind that extra equipment installed on the engine
may alter its center of gravity. Special lifting equipment may then be required in order to maintain the
correct balance and make the engine safe to handle.
Never carry out work on an engine suspended on a
hoist.
Before starting the engine
Reinstall all protective parts removed during service
operations before starting the engine. Check that no
tools or other items have been left on the engine.
Never start a turbocharged engine without installing
the air cleaner (ACL). The rotating compressor in the
Turbocharger unit can cause serious personal injury.
Foreign objects can also be sucked in and cause
mechanical damage to the unit.
Fire and explosion
Fuel and lubrication oil
All fuel, most lubricants and many chemicals are
inflammable. Read and follow the instructions on the
packaging.
When carrying out work on the fuel system, make sure
the engine is cold. A fuel spill onto a hot surface or
electrical components can cause a fire.
Store fuel soaked rags and other flammable material
so that there is no danger of them catching fire. Fuelsoaked rags can self-ignite under certain conditions.
Do not smoke when filling fuel, oil or in proximity of a
filling station or in the engine room.
Non-original components
Components used in the fuel and electrical systems
on Volvo Penta products are designed and constructed to minimize the risk of fire and explosion.
Using spare parts other than by Volvo Penta
approved spare parts can result in fire or explosion on
board.
Batteries
The batteries contain and emit oxyhydrogen gas,
especially during charging. This gas is easily ignited
and highly volatile.
Do not under any circumstances smoke or use naked
flame or allow sparks in the vicinity of the batteries or
battery compartment.
An incorrect connection of a battery terminal cable or
jump-start cable can cause a spark which in its turn
can be sufficient to cause an explosion.
Start spray
Never use start spray or similar agents to start an
engine equipped with air pre-heating (glow plugs/
starter element). This may cause an explosion in the
inlet manifold. Danger of personal injury.
6 47702088 05-2011
Safety Information
Hot surfaces and fluids
There is always a risk of burns when working with a
hot engine. Beware of hot surfaces. For example: the
exhaust pipe, turbo unit, oil pan, charge air pipe,
starter element, hot coolant and hot oil in oil lines and
hoses.
Carbon monoxide poisoning
Only start the engine in a well-ventilated area. If operating the engine in an enclosed space, ensure that
there is proper ventilation in order to remove exhaust
gases and crankcase ventilation emissions from the
working area.
Chemicals
Most chemicals such as anti-freeze, rustproofing
agent, inhibiting oil, degreasing agent etc. are hazardous to health. Read and follow the instructions on
the packaging.
Some chemicals such as inhibiting oil are inflammable
and dangerous if breathed in as well. Ensure good
ventilation and use a protective mask when spraying.
Read and follow the instructions on the packaging.
Store chemicals and other hazardous materials out of
the reach of children. To protect the environment,
please dispose of used or leftover chemicals at a
properly designated disposal site for destruction.
Cooling system
There is a risk of flooding when working on the seawater system. Turn off the engine and close the sea
cock (where installed) before starting work on the system.
47702088 - Downloaded from www.volvopenta.com 02/06/2011 18:54:55
Avoid opening the coolant filler cap when the engine
is hot. Steam or hot coolant can spray out and cause
burns.
Fuel system
Always use protective gloves when tracing leaks. Liquids ejected under pressure can penetrate body tissue and cause serious injury. There is a danger of
blood poisoning.
Always cover the generator if it is located under the
fuel filter. The generator can be damaged by spilled
fuel.
Electronic Vessel Control (EVC)
The boat has a advanced control system. Never cut
or modify connectors, wiring or splice of the components.
Installing non Volvo Penta components may cause
the system to malfunction.
Service must be done by approved workshops.
Electrical system
Cutting off power
Always stop the engine and break the current using
the main switches before working on the electrical
system. Isolate shore current to the engine block
heater, battery charger, or accessories mounted on
the engine.
Batteries
The batteries contain an extremely corrosive electrolyte. Protect your skin and clothes when charging or
handling batteries. Always use protective goggles and
gloves.
If battery electrolyte comes into contact with unprotected skin, wash off immediately using plenty of
water and soap. If battery acid comes into contact with
the eyes, flush immediately with plenty of water and
obtain medical assistance without delay.
If work must be carried out with the engine at operating temperature and the coolant filler cap or a cock
open or a coolant hose disconnected, open the coolant filler cap carefully and slowly to release pressure
before removing the cap completely. Note that the
coolant may still be hot and can cause burns.
Lubrication system
Hot oil can cause burns. Avoid skin contact with hot
oil. Ensure that the lubrication system is not under
pressure before commencing work on it. Never start
or operate the engine with the oil filler cap removed,
oil can spray out.

Introduction
This Operator's Manual has been prepared to give you the greatest possible benefit from your Volvo Penta marine
engine. It contains the information you need to be able to operate and maintain the engine safely and correctly.
Please read the Operator's Manual carefully and learn to handle the engine, controls and other equipment in a
safe manner before you cast off on your maiden voyage.
Always have the Operator's Manual available. Store it safely and do not forget to hand it over to the next owner
if you sell your boat.
The Operator’s Manual describes the engine and equipment sold by Volvo Penta. The illustrations in this book
covers several varieties and might differ, the essential information is always correct though. Installations with e.g.
different controls and instrumentation might occur, in these cases we refer to this products manual.
Warranty
Your new Volvo Penta marine engine is covered by a
limited warranty, under the conditions compiled in the
Warranty book.
Please note that AB Volvo Penta’s liability is limited to
the specification in the Warranty book. Read it carefully, as soon as possible after delivery. It includes
important information about warranty cards, service,
maintenance, which it is the responsibility of the
owner to know, check and carry out. If this is not done,
AB Volvo Penta may fully or partly refuse to honour its
warranty undertakings.
Please contact your Volvo Penta dealer if you
have not received a Warrant book, a Service book
or a customer copy of the warranty card.
Environmental care
All of us want to live in a clean, healthy environment.
Where we can breathe clean air, see healthy trees,
have clean water in lakes and seas, and be able to
enjoy the sunlight without fearing for our health.
Unfortunately, this is not self-evident these days, it is
47702088 - Downloaded from www.volvopenta.com 02/06/2011 18:54:55
something all of us must work hard for.
As a manufacturer of marine engines, Volvo Penta
has particular responsibility and for this reason, environmental care is a core value in our product development. Volvo Penta has a wide engine programme
these days, where considerable progress has been
made in reducing exhaust fumes, fuel consumption,
engine noise etc.
We hope that you will be want to preserve these values. Always observe the advice in the Operator's
Manual about fuel grades, operation and maintenance, to avoid unnecessary environmental impact.
Please contact your Volvo Penta dealer if you notice
any changes such as increased fuel consumption or
increased exhaust smoke.
Moderate your speed and distance so that wake and
noise do not disturb or damage animal life, moored
boats, jetties etc. Leave the archipelago and harbours
in the same state you would like to find them. Remember to always hand in drained oil, coolant, paint and
wash residue, used batteries etc. for destruction at a
recycling station.
If we all pull together, we can make a valuable contribution to the environment together.
Running in
The engine must be “run in” during its first 10 hours,
as follows:
Use the engine in normal operation. Full load should
only be applied for short periods. Never run the engine
for a long period of time at constant speed during this
period.
Higher oil consumption is normal during the running
in period. For this reason, check the oil level more
frequently than normally recommended.
After the first period of operation, the specified warranty inspection “First service inspection” can be
done. For more information: Please refer to the Maintenance Schedule.
Fuel, oils and coolant
Only use the fuels and oils recommended in the Operator's Manual. Other grades can cause malfunctions,
increased fuel consumption and eventually even
shorten the life of the engine.
Always change the oil, oil filters and fuel filter at the
specified intervals.
Future warranty claims related to engine and accessories may be refused if an unsuitable coolant has
been used, or if the instructions for coolant mixture
have not been followed.

Introduction
Service and spare parts
Volvo Penta marine engines are designed for high
reliability and long life. They are built to withstand a
marine environment, but also to have the smallest
possible environmental impact. Through regular service and use of by Volvo Penta approved spare parts,
these qualities are retained.
Volvo Penta’s world-wide network of authorised dealers is at your service. They are Volvo Penta product
specialists, and have the accessories, original spares,
test equipment and special tools needed for high quality service and repair work.
Always observe the maintenance intervals in the
Operator's manual, and remember to note the engine/
transmission identification number when you order
service and spare parts.
Certified engines
If you own or operate an emission certified engine it
is important to be aware of the following:
Certification means that an engine type has been
checked and approved by the relevant authority. The
engine manufacturer guarantees that all engines
made of the same type are equivalent to the certified
engine.
This makes special demands on the care and
maintenance you give your engine, as follows:
• Maintenance and service intervals recommended by Volvo Penta must be complied with.
• Only Volvo Penta original spares may be used.
• Service on injection pumps, pump settings and
injectors must always be done by an authorised
Volvo Penta workshop.
• The engine must not be converted or modified,
except for the accessories and service kits
which Volvo Penta has approved for the engine.
• Installation changes to the exhaust pipe and
engine air inlet ducts must not be done.
47702088 - Downloaded from www.volvopenta.com 02/06/2011 18:54:55
• No seals may be broken by unauthorised personnel.
The general advice in the Operator's manual about
operation, care and maintenance apply.
Late or inadequate maintenance/service or the use of
spare parts not approved by Volvo Penta will invalidate AB Volvo Penta’s responsibility for the engine
specification being in accordance with the certificated
variant.
Volvo Penta accepts no responsibility or liability for
any damage or costs arising due to the above.

Depth compensation
Setting the Volvo Penta echo sounder. The echo-sounder can be installed anywhere between the waterline
and the boat's deepest point. Set the deviation – off set
– so that the display value shows one of these points.
To adjust the value up (+), set the distance between
the echo-sounder and the waterline; to adjust the value
down (–), set the distance between the echo-sounder
and the boat's deepest point. The value can be set in
0.1 unit stages.
Store the set value by depressing BACK (button 5).
Speed factor
The speed factor must be set while the boat is under
way. Compare the displayed boat speed value with
GPS data (or another boat) and adjust the speed factor
until the values agree.
The speed sensor calibration value can be adjusted
upwards (+) or downwards (-) in stages of 0.01 units
(+ or - 1%). Store the adjusted value by depressing
BACK (button 5).

Instruments and Controls
Controls
This section describes the controls Volvo Penta sells
for your engine. Contact your dealer if your boat is
equipped with controls other than those described
here, and you feel uncertain about their function.
Maneuvering
A single-lever control operates both gearshift and
throttle functions from the same lever.
The engine can only be started with the control lever
in the neutral position.
N = Neutral position. Reverse gear/drive disengaged
and engine at idle.
F = Reverse gear/drive engaged for movement
ahead.
R = Reverse gear/drive engaged for movement
astern.
T = Engine rpm control (throttle).
47702088 - Downloaded from www.volvopenta.com 02/06/2011 18:54:55
Disconnecting the gearshift function
The gearshift function can be disconnected so that the
control lever only operates the throttle.
1 Put the control lever in neutral (N).
2 Depress the neutral button (1), and keep it
depressed at the same time as the lever is moved
forward.
3 Release the neutral button, the shift function is dis-
engaged and the lever only influences engine revolutions.
The gear shift function is reconnected automatically
when the lever is returned to the neutral position.
CAUTION!
Take care not to engage the gear by mistake.
Adjusting the friction brake
The lever is fitted with a friction brake to allow adjustment for easier or stiffer movement as required. The
friction brake only affects movement of the throttle control lever.
1 Lift away the cover from the control. On side-
mounted controls the lever must be removed first.
2 Move the lever to the half throttle/astern position.
3 Adjust the friction brake by turning the screw clock-
wise (+) for stiffer lever movement, and counterclockwise (-) for easier movement.
4 Replace the cover and the lever.

Make a habit of visually checking the engine, engine bay and transmission before start. This will help you to
discover quickly if anything abnormal has happened, or is about to happen. Also check that instruments and
warning displays show normal values when you have started the engine.
To minimize cold start smoke we recommend the installation of an engine heater or engine bay heater if temperatures below +5°C (41°F) are encountered.
WARNING!
Never use start spray or similar products as starting aid. Explosion risk!
Before Starting
Check the engine and transmission oil levels.
•
Check coolant level.
•
Open the sea cock.
•
Open the fuel cock.
•
Turn the main switch(es) on.
•
IMPORTANT!
Never disconnect the current with the main switches
when the engine is running. The alternator and electronics could be damaged.

Start the engine bay fan, where fitted, and allow it to
•
run for at least four minutes.
Check that there is sufficient fuel for the planned trip.
•
Starting the Engine
Activate the control panel by depressing the on/off button (1). The Volvo Penta logo is displayed in the window. Two audible signals are sounded to indicate the
system is ready and that the engine may be started.

Starting
Check the tachometer
If an operational fault occurs an audible alarm will
sound and a symbol will flash in the tachometer window. Refer to the Fault Handling page 25 chapter for
more detailed information and recommended actions.
Check the alarm instrument (accessory).
The lamps in the alarm instrument light up each time the
ignition is turned on. Check that all lamps light up and
then extinguish. If any lamp flashes, a fault has been
registered; refer to the Fault Handling page 25 chapter for more detailed information and recommended
actions.
Start the engine
Press the start button (4). Release the start button as
soon as the engine starts.
The pre-heating symbol is displayed in the tachometer
window. Pre-heating is automatic and lasts for 20 seconds.
Pre-heating only takes place if engine temperature is
below 50° (122° F).
Pre-heating may be activated before the engine is
started by depressing the start button (4) for a short
moment. Pre-heating will continue for 20 seconds. The
pre-heating symbol is displayed in the tachometer window.

Read off the instruments and warm up the
engine
Allow the engine to idle for the first 10 seconds. Read
off the instruments and check that they show normal
values. Check that no warning lamps are flashing. If any
lamp flashes, a fault has been registered; refer to the
Fault Handling page 25 chapter for more detailed
information and recommended actions.
Warm up the engine at low speed and low load, so that
normal working temperature is reached before full
power is applied.

Learn to handle the engine, controls and other equipment in a safe and proper manner before casting off on your
maiden voyage. Remember to avoid sudden and extreme rudder maneuvers and gear shifts. There is a risk for
passengers and crew falling over or falling overboard.
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.
Reading the Instruments
Read off the instruments and alarm display immediately after start, and then regularly during operation.
Alarms
If an alarm is tripped, an audible alarm will sound and
a symbol will flash in the tachometer window (1).
If optional equipment such as alarm instruments or an
EVC display are installed, the relevant warning lamp
will flash there also.

Operation
Maneuvering
Shifting between ahead and astern must be done at
idle revolutions. Shifting at higher revolutions can be
uncomfortable for those on board and cause unnecessary stress to the transmission or make the engine
stall.
Always shift between ahead and astern in
the following manner:
1 Reduce engine revolutions to idle and allow the
boat to lose most of its speed.
2 Move the control lever to the neutral position with
a quick, firm movement. Pause a moment.
3 Move the control lever back with a quick, firm
movement and increase revolutions.

Operation
Sailing
When sailing, set the control lever to astern if a folding
propeller is fitted.
Is a fixed propeller is fitted the control lever should be
set in neutral or reverse. When using a fixed propeller
and sailing with the control lever set to reverse the
speed is slowed down though less noise is being
made.
Cruising Speed
47702088 - Downloaded from www.volvopenta.com 02/06/2011 18:54:55
Avoid operations at full throttle for best fuel economy.
We recommend a cruising speed that is around
500-1000 rpm below the maximum rpm at top speed
(full throttle).
Depending on the type of hull, choice of propeller, load
and sea state etc., maximum revolutions at top speed
may vary, but should be within the full throttle range;
refer to the Engines section.
