Starting the engine
21
Volvo Penta start lock:
1. Turn the key to the ”I” position and check the
indicator lamps.
2. Position”II”. Pre-heating is activated (pre-heating
is an option). Wait until the pre-heating indicator
lamp goes out. Pre-heating time is dependent
upon engine temperature.
3. Start the engine with position “III”. Let the key re-
turn to position ”I” immediately once the engine
has started.
NOTE! The engine has a built-in starter motor inter-
lock to prevent inadvertent activation of the starter
motor while the engine is running. The key must be
turned to the “O” position before attempting to start
again.
Let the engine run at 500–700 rpm for the first 10 se-
conds. Following this, warm up the engine using low
rpm and low loading.
IMPORTANT! Never rev-up the engine when it is
cold.
Alternative pre-heating:
1. Turn the key to the ”I” position and check the
indicator lamps. Pre-heating activates
automatically (pre-heating is an option). Pre-
heating time is dependent upon engine tempera-
ture.
2. Start the engine with position ”III”. Let the key re-
turn to position ”I” immediately once the engine
has started.
