maintenance before your maiden voyage so that you will be ensured of fulfilling your expectations. Please pay
attention to the safety instructions contained in the manual.

As owner of a Volvo Penta marine engine, we would also like to welcome you to a worldwide network of dealers
and service workshops to assist you with technical advice, service requirements and replacement parts. Please
contact your nearest authorized Volvo Penta dealer for assistance.

You will find your closest dealer at our home page on the Internet www.volvopenta.com - amongst other
useful information about your Volvo Penta engine - we invite you to visit!

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.
• 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.

47706669 05-2015 © AB VOLVO PENTA 31

Optional

Propeller Shaft Brake

In certain operational circumstances the propeller may
cause the propeller shaft to rotate when the engine is
stopped. This passive rotation is uncomfortable and
can be harmful to the reverse gear as its oil pump,
which is driven by the input shaft, will not operate when
the engine is stopped.
The propeller shaft may be allowed to rotate with a
stopped engine up to 6–8 hours. After this, the engine
must be started and run for at least five minutes for
lubrication and cooling of the reverse gear.
In cases where the propeller shaft may rotate faster
than in normal operations, e.g. boat under sail, a tem-
perature gauge should be installed for monitoring the
oil temperature.
Max. permissible temperature for ZF reverse gears is
95°C (203°F).
When the above-mentioned regulations cannot be
met, or when the shaft needs to be stopped or reasons
of comfort, a shaft brake must be fitted. On isolated
occasions the propeller shaft flange may be locked in
a suitable manner instead.

32 47706669 05-2015 © AB VOLVO PENTA

Starting
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 temper-
atures below +5°C (41°F) are encountered.

WARNING!
Never use start spray or similar agents to start an engine. This may cause an explosion in the inlet manifold.
Danger of personal injury.

Before Starting
• Open the fuel cock.
• Open the sea cock where fitted.
• Check the engine and transmission oil level.
• Check the coolant level.
• Turn the main switches on.
IMPORTANT!
Never disconnect the current with the main
switches when the engine is running. The alter-
nator 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.

Overheating protection
If the starter motor is engaged for its maximum activa-
tion time (30 seconds), the starter motor circuit is cut
P0012497 automatically to protect the starter motor from over-
heating. If possible, leave the starter motor to cool for
at least five minutes before making a new start attempt.

Read the instruments and warm the

engine up
Allow the engines to idle for the first ten seconds.
Check that instruments and warning displays show
normal values.
Check that no messages are displayed and no warning
signs are showing. If a fault is registred, please refer
to section Fault Handling page 45 for further infor-
mation and recomended actions.
Warm the engine up at low speed and low load, so
normal operating temperature is reached before full
power is used.

IMPORTANT!
Never race the engine when it is cold.

47706669 05-2015 © AB VOLVO PENTA 35

Operation
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 all instruments and alarm displays directly after
starting, and then regularly during the voyage.

Alarms
Alarms and messages are shown in the information
display, some alarms do also have a sound alarm. Is
there an alarm instrument installed the lamp in ques-
tion will flash.

1 Read the message.

2 Acknowledge the alarm by pressing OK.
3 Take the indicated actions, see chapter Fault Code
Register page 49.

The fault will be stored as long as the fault remains. It

is possible to read out the fault code at an upcoming
service.

36 47706669 05-2015 © AB VOLVO PENTA

 Operation

Maneuvering
Shifting between forward and reverse should be done
at idling. Shifting at higher engine speeds can be
uncomfortable for passengers and cause unnecessary
stress on the transmission or cause the engine to stop.
If you attempt to shift gear at an excessive engine
speed, a safety function cuts in automatically, and
delays shifting until engine speed has fallen to 1500
rpm.

Always do a forwards/reverse operation as

follows:
1 Reduce engine speed to idle and let the boat more
or less lose way.

WARNING!
Never shift to reverse when the boat is planing.
2 Move the control lever to neutral with a rapid, dis-
tinct movement. Make a brief pause.
3 Then move the control lever to reverse with a rapid,
distinct movement and increase engine speed.

IMPORTANT!
It is important all engines are running during reversing
maneuvers, to avoid the risk of water entry via the
exhaust pipe into the stationary engine.

 Operation

Station handling, type approved

design
There are three different types of helm station a boat
can be steered from.

Local station
The local helm station has superiority over both the
main helm station and remote helm station. The local
helm station is always able to take over control from
another active helm station without unlocking the
active helm station first.
If there is an additional local helm station that is active
it must first be unlocked in order to transfer control to
another local helm station.

Main Station
The main helm station has superiority over the remote
helm station but is subordinate to the local helm sta-
tion.
In order for the main helm station to take control from
an active local helm station or another main helm sta-
tion the active helm station must be unlocked first. The
main helm station can take control from a remote helm
station without unlocking the remote helm station.

Remote station
The remote helm station is subordinate to the local
helm station and the main helm station.
The active helm station must first be unlocked in order
to activate the remote helm station.

 Operation

Cruising Speed
For best fuel economy operations at full must be
avoided. We recommend a cruising speed that is at
least 10% below the maximum engine revolutions at
top speed (full throttle).
Depending on hull type, the choice of propeller, the
load and sea state etc., the maximum revolutions at
top speed may vary, but they should be within the full
throttle range; refer to Technical Data page 95.

If the engine does not reach its maximum throttle range

it can depend on a number of factors mentioned in
Fault Handling page 47.
Select a propeller with greater pitch if actual engine
revolutions exceed the full throttle range. Contact your
Volvo Penta dealer for advice.

Synchronizing Engine Speed

When driving with twin engines, both the operating
economy and comfort will be increased when the
engines are operating at the same engine speed (rpm).
When the synchronization function is activated, the
engine speed (rpm) of the starboard engine is auto-
matically adjusted to that of the port engine. The syn-
chronization function is activated automatically if the
following conditions are met.
1 The engine speed levers for both engines are in
(approximately) the same position.
2 The engine speed on both engines exceeds 800
rpm.

The synchronizer is disengaged as soon as the con-

ditions are no longer met.

47706669 05-2015 © AB VOLVO PENTA 41

Engine Shutdown
Allow the engine to run at low idle, in neutral, for a few minutes after operations are completed. In this way after-
boiling is avoided at the same time as temperature equalization takes place. This is especially important when
the engine has been run at high rpm or under heavy load.

Stop the Engine

If a station is active and locked the engine(s) can only
be started and stopped from that station.

IMPORTANT!
Never disconnect the current with the main switches
when the engine is running. The alternator and elec-
tronics could be damaged..

IMPORTANT!
Make sure the starter key is in 0-position or removed
before main switches are switched off. Otherwise the
alternator and electronics could be damaged.

Stop with key

1 Disengage the reverse gear by putting the control
lever in neutral.
2 Turn the key to stop position “S”.
The starter key must be in the i “0” position or
removed before main switches are switched off.

Stopping with the stop button

1 Disengage the reverse gear by putting the control
lever in neutral.
2 Push the stop button(s). Release the button(s)
when the engine(s) has/have stopped.

 Engine Shutdown

Auxiliary stop
If the engine cannot be stopped in a normal procedure,
it is possible to stop the engine via auxiliary stop
mounted on the engine.

Auxiliary stop, type A

Keep the stop button depressed until the engine has
stopped.

Auxiliary stop, type B

Stop the engine by pressing the auxiliary stop button.
Is the engine stopped using the auxiliary stop button,
the button locks in the down position. To restart the
engine, the button must be reset to its original position.
To do this, pull the button upwards until you hear a
click.

After Engine Shutdown

• Check the engine and engine bay for leakages.
• Close the fuel tap.
• Close the sea cock where fitted.
• Take an hour meter reading and carry out preven-
tive maintenance according to the maintenance
schedule.
• Turn off the main switch before any long stoppage.

Fault Handling
Despite regular maintenance according to the maintenance schedule and perfect operation conditions faults may
occur which must be attended to before the boat can travel further. This chapter describes alarms and fault
handling.

Alarm handling
Message from engine and EVC system
If a malfunction is discovered the driver is warned by a
buzzer sounding and a message showing in the dis-
play.
The message toggles between cause of fault and tasks
to perform.

Information regarding ”cause of fault” and ”measures

to take” is found in chapter Fault Code Register.

The engine, transmission and EVC system is moni-

tored by the diagnostic function. Should the diagnostic
function discover a malfunction it protects the engine
and ensures continued operation by affecting the
engine. Depending on how serious the malfunction is
the effect on the engine varies.
• Minor malfunction which does not damage the
engine or transmission.
Affect on engine: None.
• Serious malfunction which will not immediately dam-
age the engine or transmission e.g. high coolant
temperature.
Affect on engine: Engine power is reduced until
faulty value becomes normal.
• Serious malfunction which will cause serious dam-
Battery voltage incorrect.

sooner.

Volvo Penta reserves the right to modify service intervals and content after the operator's manual is published.
The valid document can be found under Publication search/Service record at www.volvopenta.com

Warranty inspection
During the initial period of use, a special warranty inspection - a First service inspection - must be carried out by
an authorized Volvo Penta workshop.
Instructions regarding when this must be done can be found in the maintenance schedule and the Service
book.

Extended service intervals

The interval between engine oil changes may be extended in certain circumstances. To determine whether the
service interval may be extended, Volvo Penta's conditions for extended service intervals must be met and an oil
analysis performed. Contact your Volvo Penta dealer for further information.
NOTICE! The maintenance schedule shown in the operator's manual does not apply to extended service intervals.

In applications that include a reverse gear, the reverse gear manufacturer's service intervals must be complied
with.

 Maintenance

Engine, General
General inspection
Make a habit of visually checking the engine and
engine bay before starting, and after operations when
you have stopped the engine. This will help you to dis-
cover abnormalities quickly, or if something is about to
happen.
Look especially carefully for oil, fuel and coolant lea-
kages, loose bolts, worn or poorly-tensioned drive
belts, loose cable connections, damaged electrical
cables and hoses. This inspection only takes a few
minutes and can prevent serious malfunctions and
expensive repairs.

WARNING!
Accumulations of fuel, oil and grease on the engine or
in the engine room is a fire hazard and must be
removed immediately they are detected.

WARNING!
If an oil, fuel or coolant leak is detected, the cause must
be investigated and the fault rectified before the engine
is started.

Never direct the jet from a high-pressure washer at

seals, rubber hoses or electrical components. Never
use the high pressure setting for engine cleaning.

Air Filter, Change

1 If indicator is all red after the engine is stopped,
change the filter insert.
2 Undo the clamps and remove the lid from the filter
housing.
3 Remove the old filter. Be careful to ensure that no
contamination gets into the engine.
4 Install a new air filter and tighten the lid.
5 Reinstate the pressure drop indicator by pressing
in the indicator button.

IMPORTANT!
Scrap the old filter. It must not be cleaned.

WARNING!
Stop the engine before doing any maintenance work.

General
Check belt tension and condition regularly. The drive
belt has an automatic tensioner and need not be
adjusted. Check that the belt tensioner does not bot-
tom.
IMPORTANT!
Always change a belt which looks worn or cracked.

Changing the alternator belt

1 Remove the protective cover over the drive belt.
2 Put a socket wrench in the tensioning roller
square fitting. Turn the tensioning roller aside
and secure it by inserting a screwdriver or simi-
lar into the space which opens up.
3 Remove the drive belt.
4 Install the new drive belt and release the locking
of the belt tensioner. Make sure the drive belt fits
properly into the grooves.
5 Fit the protective cover over the drive belt.

 Maintenance

Lubrication System
Oil change intervals can vary depending on oil grade
and sulphur content of the fuel, please refer toTechni-
cal Data page 96.

Oil change intervals must never exceed a period of 12

months.

If you want longer oil change intervals than given in the

table Technical Data page 96, the condition of the oil
must be checked by the oil manufacturers through reg-
ular oil testing.

P0002089

Oil level, checking and topping up

The oil level must be inside the marked area on the

dipstick (1) and should be checked daily before the first
start.

Top up the oil through the filling hole on the side of the
engine (2). Check that the correct level has been ach-
ieved. Wait a few minutes to allow the oil to run down
into the sump.

IMPORTANT!

Maintenance

Freshwater System
The freshwater system is the engine's internal cooling
system that ensures that the engine operates at the
correct temperature. It is a closed system that must
always be filled with a coolant mixture in order to pro-
tect the engine against internal corrosion, cavitation
and frost bursting.

IMPORTANT!
Coolant of a suitable chemical composition must be
used all year round. This applies even when there is
no risk for frost damage, so that the engine always has
complete corrosion protection.
The use of anti-corrosion agents alone is not permitted
in Volvo Penta engines. Never use water alone as the
coolant.

The corrosion protection additives become less effec-

tive over time, which means that the coolant must be
changed at regular intervals; refer to Maintenance
Schedule. The cooling system must be flushed when-
ever the coolant is changed, refer to Freshwater sys-
tem, Flushing page 71.

tions, see Technical Data page 97.
P0013077
Volvo Penta Coolant VCS and VCS Ready Mixed are
based on organic acid technology (OAT). Using other
types of coolant, such as conventional or hybrid types,
can drastically reduce the heat transfer and result in
overheating of the engine.

 Maintenance

Coolant, Mixing

WARNING!
All coolant is hazardous and harmful to the environ-
ment. Do not consume. Coolant is flammable.

IMPORTANT!
Different types of coolant must not be mixed with each
other!

Mix: 40% “Volvo Penta Coolant” (conc. coolant)

and 60% water
This mixture protects against internal corrosion, cavi-
tation and frost bursting down to –24°C (–11°F). At
60% glycol concentration, the freezing point is lowered
to –46°C (–51°F).
Never mix more than 60% concentrate (Volvo Penta
Coolant) in the coolant. A greater concentration pro-
vides reduced cooling effect with the risk for overheat-
ing and reduced frost protection.

The coolant must be mixed with distilled, deionized

water. The water must fulfil the requirements specified
by Volvo Penta; refer to Technical Data page 97.
It is extremely important that the system is filled with
the correct coolant concentration. Mix in a separate
clean vessel before filling the cooling system. Make
sure that the liquids mix.

Checking the coolant level

WARNING!
Do not open the coolant filler cap when the engine is
hot, except in emergencies, this could cause serious
personal injury. Steam or hot fluid could spray out.

The coolant level must reach the filler pipe lower rim.

If a separate expansion tank is fitted, the coolant level

must be between the MIN and MAX marks.
Where necessary, top up coolant in accordance with
the instructions below.

Filling with coolant

WARNING!
Burn hazard. Steam and hot fluid may spray out. Stop
the engine and allow it to cool before opening the filler
cap.

IMPORTANT!
Top up with the same type of coolant as already used
in the system. Different types of coolant must not be
mixed.

Topping up
Top up coolant to the correct level through the filler
opening on the expansion tank. Fill slowly, to allow air
that is displaced to flow out through the filler opening.

When filling an empty system, or if for some reason the

coolant level has sunk sow low that it cannot be seen
through the filler opening, filling must be carried out
according to “Filling a completely empty cooling sys-
tem”.

P0009750

Filling a completely empty cooling system

1 Mix a sufficient quantity of coolant in a vessel before
filling. Note that if a heating system, water heater or
similar is connected to the engine cooling system,
a correspondingly greater quantity of coolant will be
required.
2 Also make sure that any heating system, water
heater or similar connected to the engine cooling
system is vented (open the heater regulator valve).
3 Fill coolant through the filler opening in the expan-
sion tank.
Fill slowly, to allow displaced air to flow out through
the filler opening.
4 Fill coolant to the lower rim of the filler pipe.
5 Start the engine and let it idle untill it has reached
operating temperature.

IMPORTANT!
P0009751 Do not let the engine work under load until the system
is vented and completely filled.

Seawater System
The seawater system is the engine’s external cooling
system. The seawater system sucks in water through
the seawater inlet and pumps it through the heat
exchanger and the reverse gear oil cooler. The system
is protected from galvanic corrosion by means of zinc
anodes located in the heat exchanger and the reverse
gear oil cooler.

WARNING!
Risk of water entry. Water will flow into the boat if any
hose, plug etc. located below the waterline is removed
when the boat is in the water. Always close the sea
cocks. If the boat does not have sea cocks the water
flow must be blocked in a safe manner. If this is not
possible, the boat must be drawn up on land before
work starts.

Electrical Installations
An incorrectly designed electrical installation may gen-
erate leakage current from the electrical system. Leak-
age current can in turn render galvanic protection inad-
equate in respect of propellers, propeller shafts, rudder
posts, the keel etc., and may cause damage through
electrochemical corrosion.

WARNING!
Work on the low voltage circuits in the boats should be
done by a person with electrical training or knowledge.
Installation or work on land current equipment must
only be done by a competent electrician, in accordance
with local regulations for mains electricity.

The following must always be heeded:

1 If shore power is connected it must always be

ground protected ashore, never in the boat. Fur-
thermore, the shore power installation should be
equipped with a ground fault circuit interrupter.
The shore power installation (transformer, inverter,
battery charger etc.) must be designed for marine
use where the high-tension side is galvanically
separated from the low-tension side.
2 Electrical cables must be run and clamped such
that there is no risk of exposure to chafing, damp or
bilge water.
3 Ground protection for radios, navigation instru-
ments, rudder, boarding ladders or other equipment
where separate cables for ground protection are
present, must be clustered to a common ground
P0002900
connection that is not connected to the engine or
reverser gear.
IMPORTANT!
The engine and reverse gear must never be used
as earth planes.
4 The start battery must have a main switch (1) con-
nected to the battery's positive (+) side. The main
switch must break the circuit to all equipment and
be switched off when the boat is not in use.
5 If an auxiliary battery is used, a main switch must
be placed between the auxiliary battery's positive
(+) terminal and the circuit breaker panel for the
boat's electrical equipment. The main switch must
break the circuit to all equipment connected to the
auxiliary battery and must be switched off when
power is no longer required. All equipment con-
nected to the auxiliary battery must have separate
main switches.

For simultaneous charging of two independent battery

circuits a separate charging distributor (accessory)
should be installed on the standard alternator.

Storage
The boat must be inhibited to prevent damage to the engine and other equipment if the boat is not used for two
months or more. It is important that this is done in the correct manner, and nothing is forgotten. For this reason,
we have compiled a check list of the most important points.
Before the boat is taken out of service for a long period of time, an authorised Volvo Penta workshop should look
over the engine and other equipment. Have any faults and deficiencies attended to, so that the equipment is in
order, ready for the next start.

CAUTION!
Read the chapter on Maintenance before starting work. It contains instructions on how to carry out maintenance
and service operations in a safe and correct manner.

Some conservation oils are flammable. Some are also dangerous to breathe. Ensure good ventilation. Use a face
mask when spraying.

IMPORTANT!
Observe the following when cleaning with a high pressure washer: Never aim the water jet at seals, rubber hoses
or electrical components. Never use a high pressure washer for engine cleaning.

Conservation of the lubrication and fuel systems for more than 8 months’ stoppage:

• Drain the oil from the sump and engine and fill the
engine up with conservation oil* to just above the
MIN marking on the dipstick.
• Connect the fuel supply (1) and return fuel pipes (2)
to a jerrican filled with 1/3 conservation oil*and 2/3
2 diesel fuel.
• Vent the fuel system.
• Start the engine and run at a fast idle until about 2
litres (0.5 US gals.) have been used.
Stop the engine and connect the ordinary fuel pipes.

* Conservation oils are sold by oil companies.

Bringing Out of Storage

• Remove any covers from the engine, air inlet and
exhaust pipe.
• Top the engine up with the correct grade of oil if
necessary, see Technical Data page 96. Install a
new oil filter if the filter was not changed during con-
servation.
• Check that there is oil in the reverse gear.
• Install new fuel filters and vent the fuel system.
• Check the drive belt(s).
• Check the condition of all rubber hoses, and re-
tighten the hose clamps.
• Close the drain taps and install the drain plugs.
• Insert the impeller in the seawater pump, using a
rotating movement (anti-clockwise).
• Check the coolant level and anti-freeze. Top up if
necessary.
• Connect the fully charged batteries.
• Open the sea cocks.
• Start the engine (if the boat is in the water) and warm
up at a fast idle before loading the engine.
• Check that no oil, fuel or coolant leakage occurs.
• Check the oil level in the reverse gear. Top up if
necessary.
