Safety Precautions
Read this chapter carefully. It concerns your safety. This chapter describes how safety information is presented
in the Operator's Manual and on the engine itself. It also gives a general account of basic safety precautions to
be taken when operating the boat and maintaining the engine.
Check that you have the correct Operator's Manual before you read on. If this is not the case please
contact your Volvo Penta dealer.
If operations are performed incorrectly this could result in personal injury, or damage to
property or the engine. Read the Operator's Manual carefully before operating or servicing the engine. If anything is unclear please contact your Volvo Penta dealer for assistance.
This symbol is used in the book and on the engine to make you aware of safety information.
Always read these safety precautions very carefully.
In the Operator's Manual warning texts have the following priority:
WARNING! If these instructions are not followed there is a danger of personal injury, exten-
sive damage to the product or serious mechanical malfunction.
IMPORTANT! Used to draw your attention to something that can cause damage, product
malfunction or damage to property.
NOTE!Used to draw your attention to important information that will facilitate work or operations.
This symbol is used in certain cases on our products and refers to important information in
the Operator's Manual. Ensure that warning and information symbols on the engine and transmission are always visible and legible. Replace symbols that have been damaged or painted
over.

Safety precautions to be taken when operating the boat
Your new boat
Read Operator's Manuals and other information
supplied with your new boat. Learn to operate the
engine, controls and other equipment safely and correctly.
If this is your first boat, or is a boat type with which
you are not familiar, we recommend that you practice controlling the boat in peace and quiet. Learn
how the boat behaves at different speeds, weather
conditions and loads before casting off for your “real”
maiden voyage.
Remember that the person driving a boat is legally
required to know and follow the current rules regarding traffic and safety at sea. Make sure you know the
rules that apply to you and the waters you are sailing
in by contacting the relevant authorities or organization.
A good piece of advice is to take a course in seamanship. We recommend that you contact your local
boating organization to find a suitable course.
Accidents
Statistics show that poor maintenance of boats and
engines and a lack of safety equipment are often the
cause of accidents at sea.
Ensure that your boat is maintained in accordance
with the relevant Operator's Manual and that the necessary safety equipment is on-board and is serviceable.
Daily checklist
Make a habit of checking the engine and engine
compartment visually before operating the boat (be-
fore the engine is started) and after operating the
boat (after the engine has been stopped). This will
help you to quickly detect fuel, coolant and oil leaks
and spot anything else unusual that has, or is about
to happen.
Maneuvering
Avoid violent and unexpected changes in course and
gear engagement. This could cause someone on the
boat to lose their balance and fall over or overboard.
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.
Avoid trimming an outboard drive too much, as steering will be severely reduced.
Refueling
When refueling there is always a danger of fire and
explosion. Smoking is forbidden and the engine must
be switched off.
Never overfill the tank. Close the fuel tank filler cap
properly.
Only use the fuel recommended in the Operator's
Manual. The wrong grade of fuel can cause operating problems or cause the engine to stop. On a diesel
engine poor quality fuel can cause the control rod to
seize and the engine to overrev with a resultant risk
of damage to the engine and personal injury.
Do not start the engine
Do not start or run the engine with a suspected fuel
or LPG leak in the boat, when you are close to or in a
discharge of explosive media, etc. There is a risk for
fire and/or explosion in explosive surroundings.
Safety Information

Carbon monoxide poisoning
When a boat is moving forward backwash is caused
behind the boat. Sometimes this backwash can be so
powerful that exhaust gases can be sucked into the
cabin or seating well on the boat with the resulting
risk of carbon monoxide poisoning for those on board.
The backwash problem is greatest with high, broad
boats with a squared stern. But other types of boat
can also have backwash problems under certain
conditions, for example when running with an awning rigged. Among other factors that can increase the
backwash effect are wind conditions, load distribution,
the sea running, trim, open hatches and valves.
Most modern boats are designed in such a way that
problems with backwash are extremely unusual.
Should a backwash problem occur do not open
hatches or valves in the forward part of the boat. This
will only increase backwash. Try changing speed, trim
or load distribution in the boat instead. In addition
take down, open or change the rigging of the awning
in some other way if an awning is rigged. Contact the
dealer where the boat was purchased to get more
information on how to solve this problem should it
occur on your boat.
Checklist
● Safety equipment: Life jackets for all passengers, communication equipment, emergency rockets,
approved fire extinguisher, first-aid equipment, life belt, anchor, paddle, torch etc.
● Replacement parts and tools: impeller, fuel filters, fuses, tape, hose clamps, engine oil, propeller
and tools for any repairs that might have to be carried out.
● Get out your charts and go over the planned route. Calculate distance and fuel consumption.
Listen to the weather reports
● Make sure that relations or contact persons are informed when planning a longer voyage. Re-
member to inform them if your plans have changed or been delayed.
● Tell your passengers and crew where the safety equipment is stored and how to operate it. Make
sure you are not the only person on board who knows how to start the boat and operate it safely.
The list should be supplemented because the requirement for safety equipment varies depending
on the boat type and how it is used etc. We recommend that you contact a local boating or maritime
safety organization for more detailed marine safety information.

Safety precautions for maintenance and service operations
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 switch and lock it 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 that 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 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
check that lifting equipment is in good condition and
is strong enough for the lift (engine weight with any
extra equipment). 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 guards removed during service operations before starting the engine. Check that no tools
or other items have been left on the engine.
Never start a turbocharger engine without installing
the air cleaner (ACL). The rotating compressor in
the turbocharger 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. In
certain conditions oil-soaked rags can spontaneously
ignite.
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 ignition system
(gasoline engines) and electrical systems on Volvo
Penta products are designed and constructed to
minimize the risk of fire and explosion.
Using non-original Volvo Penta parts can result in fire
or explosion on board.
Batteries
The batteries contain and give off oxyhydrogen gas,
especially during charging. This gas is easily ignited
and highly flammable.
Do not under any circumstances smoke or use naked flame or allow sparks in the vicinity of the batteries or battery compartment.
Incorrectly connecting a battery terminal cable or
jump-start cable can cause a spark which in 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). The starter element may cause an
explosion in the inlet manifold. Danger of personal
injury.
Safety Information
7
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, turbocharger (TC), oil pan, charge
air pipe, starter element, hot coolant and hot oil in oil
lines and hoses.
Carbon monoxide poisoning
Start the engine only 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 water penetration when working on
the seawater system. Turn off the engine and close
the sea cock before starting work on the system.
Avoid opening the coolant filler cap when the engine
is hot. Steam or hot coolant can spray out and cause
burns.
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.
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.
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.

Introduction
This Operator's Manual has been compiled to help you get the most from your Volvo Penta engine. It contains
all the information you need in order to operate and maintain your engine safely and correctly. Please read the
Operator's Manual carefully and learn how to operate the engine, controls and other equipment safely.
Always have the Operator's Manual available. Keep it in a safe place and do not forget to give it to the new
owner if you sell your boat.
Care of the environment
We would all like to live in a clean and healthy environment. Somewhere where we can breathe clean
air, see healthy trees, have clean water in our lakes
and oceans, and are able to enjoy the sunshine without being worried about our health. Unfortunately,
this cannot be taken for granted nowadays but is something we must work together to achieve.
As a manufacturer of marine engines, Volvo Penta
has a special responsibility, why care of the environment is a core value in our product development. Today, Volvo Penta has a broad range of engines where
progress has been made in reducing exhaust emissions, fuel consumption, engine noise, etc.
We hope you will take care in preserving these qualities. Always follow any advice given in the Operator's
Manual concerning fuel grades, operation and maintenance and you will avoid causing unecessary interference to the environment. Get in touch with your
Volvo Penta dealer if you notice any changes such as
increased fuel consumption exhaust smoke.
Adapt speed and distance to avoid wash and noise
disturbing or injuring animal life, moored boats, jetties, etc. Leave islands and harbours in the same
condition as you want to find them. Remember to
always leave hazardous waste such as waste oil,
coolant, paint and wash residue, flat batteries, etc.,
for disposal at a destruction plant.
Our joint efforts will make a valuable contribution to
our environment.
Running-in
The engine must be run in for its first 10 operating
hours as follows:
Operate the engine normally. Do not operate it at full
load except for short periods. Never run the engine at
a constant engine speed for long periods during the
running-in period.
The engine can be expected to use more engine oil
during the running-in period than would otherwise be
normal. Check the oil level more often than is normally recommended.
The prescribed warranty inspection “First Service
Inspection“ must be carried out during this first period
of operation. For more information: See the Warranty
and Service Book.
Fuel and oils
Only use the fuel and oils recommended in the chapter Technical Data. Other grades of fuel and oil can
cause operating problems, increased fuel consumption and, in the long-term, a shorter engine service
life.
Always change oil, oil filters and fuel filters at the
recommended intervals.
Service and replacement parts
Volvo Penta marine engines are designed for high
operational reliability and long service life. They are
constructed to withstand the marine environment
while also affecting it as little as possible. Through
regular service and the use of Volvo Penta original
spare parts, these qualities will be retained.
The Volvo Penta worldwide network of authorized
dealers are at your service. They are specialists in
Volvo Penta products and have accessories and
the original replacement parts, test equipment and
special tools necessary for high quality service and
repair work.
Always follow the maintenance intervals contained in
the Operator's Manual. Remember to state the engine/transmission identification number when ordering service and replacement parts.

Certified engines
It is important to be aware of the following information
if you own or run an engine that is exhaust emission
certified:
Certification means that an engine type is inspected
and approved by the authorities. The engine manufacturer guarantees that all engines manufactured of
that type correspond to the certified engine.
This places special requirements for maintenance and service as follows:
● The maintenance and service intervals recom-
mended by Volvo Penta must be observed.
● Only genuine Volvo Penta replacement parts may
be used.
● The service of injection pumps and injectors or
pump settings must always be carried out by an

Oil pressure
If the oil pressure shows during operation, the oil
pressure in the engine is too low.
Stop the engine at once.
WARNING! Continued operation when the oil
pressure is too low can cause serious engine
damage.
Check the oil level in the engine. Please refer to
“Maintenance: Lubrication system” to check and
top the oil up.
Also check that the oil filter is not blocked. Please
refer to “Maintenance: Lubrication system”
Voltage
The battery lamp shows if the alternator is not charging or voltage is too high, this can be due to a fault
in the electrical system or because the alternator
drive belt is slack.
Stop the engine
Check the alternator drive belt.
WARNING! Do not continue operation if there
is any problem with the alternator drive belts.
This could cause serious engine damage.
Check that there is no poor contact/broken wires.

Display EVC System
Introduction
The Volvo Penta EVC System Display is an instrument that displays the engine’s operating information
and allows communication with the engine electrical
system.
NOTE! The display is preset for engines larger than
D2 and therefore, before the display can be used with
D1/D2 engines, engine series D1/D2 must be selected in the configuration menu SETTINGS/ENGINE
SERIES (refer to the configuration menu section).
Operating information is shown on an LCD display.
The driver can select the display mode with the five
buttons at the front of the instrument.
Three of the four buttons to the left show operating
information in different ways. The button at the far
right (5) is used to adjust the display contrast and
to access the configuration menu. It can be used to
make display settings, amongst other things. The
configuration menu can also show display mode
SYSTEM INFORMATION (which is also available
via button 2, see diagram below). The display mode
functions in the same way as the EVC System Tachometer.
Before using the display, certain display settings must
be made. To see which settings can be made, refer to
the configuration menu section.

Display after starting screen
The ENGINE display mode (button 1) is always shown
after the starting screen when the display is first started up (more information about this display mode can
be found in the instructions below). Once the display
has been used, it will always show the display mode
that was selected when the display was last switched
off, next time it starts up.
Transfer fault
If the display does not register the transfer of opera-
ting information from the electrical system, the pop-up
window CONNECTION LOST flashes. When opera-
ting information has been registered/reset, the pop-up
window disappears.
Start image
This is the starting image that is shown on the display
for a brief period after starting.
If the display emits a high pitched sound continuously
after starting, the self-test has failed. The display may
still function but may act erratically.
