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. The specifications,
design features and illustrations in this manual are not binding. We reserve the right to make alterations without
prior notification.
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

Please note that AB Volvo Penta’s liability is limited to
the specification in the Warranty Information. Read it
carefully, as soon as possible after delivery. It
includes important information about service, mainte-
nance, 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.

have not received the Warranty Information or
Service Book.
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 serv-
ice and use of by Volvo Penta approved spare parts,
these qualities are retained.
Volvo Penta’s world-wide network of authorised deal-
ers 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.
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 fre-
quently than normally recommended.
After the first period of operation, the specified war-
ranty inspection “First service inspection” can be
done. For more information: Please refer to the Main-
tenance Schedule.
Fuel, oils and coolant
Only use the fuels and oils recommended in the Oper-
ator'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 acces-
sories may be refused if an unsuitable coolant has
been used, or if the instructions for coolant mixture
have not been followed.
