Starting the Engine
Audible Alarm
If an audible alarm
(2)
has been installed on your boat,
it will perform a brief self-test when the ignition key is
turned to the RUN position. Following is a description
of how the alarm performs the self test.
EFI Engines –
When the ignition switch is turned to
RUN (key on, engine off), the alarm emits three short
beeps to indicate that the ECM is performing a check
of the sensors. If there are any problems detected by
the ECM, the alarm will sound; otherwise, it will remain
off.
Carbureted Engines –
When the ignition switch is
turned to RUN (key on, engine off), the alarm emits a
constant tone. The alarm remains operational until the
key is either turned to OFF or the engine is started up.

and hold it
there until the engine starts, but for no longer than
10 seconds.
6.
Once the engine starts, keep the throttle at a fast
idle (about 1000 RPMs) for 30 seconds before
returning to NEUTRAL.
7.
Repeat priming if necessary.
NOTICE!
Too much priming may flood the engine. If
the engine fails to start after a few attempts, there may
be a problem that needs to be addressed. See your
authorized Volvo Penta dealer for service.
2 . While Volvo Penta provides an audible alarm with every engine,
its installation is determined by the manufacturer of your boat. If your
boat does not have an audible alarm available, we strongly recom-
mend that you contact your dealer to have one installed.
