Before starting
Note: To reduce exhaust emissions to a minimum
during cold starts Volvo Penta recommends that a
heater is installed to heat the engine room when
temperatures fall below +5°C (41°F).
1.
Open the cooling water intake sea cock.
2.
Check that all the drain cocks are closed and all the
drain plugs are installed.
For the positioning of cocks/plugs, see the pictures
on pages 32 and 33.
3.
Open the fuel cocks
4.
Check that no fuel, water or oil is leaking out.
5.
Check coolant level on the engine when COLD.
The level must be 5 cm (2") beneath the sealing
surface of the filler cap, or between the MIN and
MAX marks on the separate plastic expansion tank
(accessory). For filling, see page 59.
Note. Do NOT open the pressure cap
when the engine is hot. Steam or hot
coolant can spray out and the system
pressure will be lost.
6.
Check the engine oil level. This should be within the
area marked on the dipstick.
The oil level must never be lower than the bot-
tom mark.
7.
Check the oil level in the reverse gear.*
* Note. Since the marks on the dipstick apply at operating
temperature (with the engine idling and the control in neu-
tral), the correct level before starting must be judged by
experience.
8.
Switch on the main switches
9.
Check the amount of fuel.
10.
Push the “Alarm test” button and check that the
alarm sounds (warning lamps come on). The alarm
will stop when the button is released.
