Technical Information
Running-in
When the engine is new it should be run normally.
Do not operate it at full load during the first 10 hours
of operation except for short periods. Unnecessary
idling of an unloaded engine should always be
avoided.
Check the instrumentation extra carefully during this
period so that any abnormal conditions may be dis-
covered in good time.
Check also that there are no leaks.
NOTE! With a new or reconditioned engine, the
valve clearance should first be checked after 150
hours of operation.
The oil and oil filter* in the Twin Disc reverse gear
should first be changed after a maximum of 50 hours
operation. Remove and clean the reverse gear’s oil
screen at the same time. In the case of MPM reverse
gears, the oil screen should be cleaned after 10 and
50 hours of operation, and the first oil and filter
change* should be made after 50 hours of operation.
The disengageable clutch should be checked more
often during the first few days. It may be necessary
to adjust it to compensate for wear to the laminate.
* Note. Only the TD MG507-1 and MG507A-1 with a trolling
valve, the TD MG5085A and the MPM IRM 301A and -302V
have an oil filter.
Your new boat
Every new boat has it own special characteristics.
Even experienced boat owners are advised to note
carefully how the boat behaves at different speeds,
weather conditions and loads.
If your boat and engine combination permit high-
speed use, we strongly recommend that a safety
breaker is fitted, regardless of the type of boat. If
your boat is not fitted with a safety breaker contact
your Volvo Penta dealer who can assist you in se-
lecting one.
Fuel and lubricants
Only use lubricants and fuels recommended on page
96 or under “Technical Data”. Use of other grades
can cause malfunctions and reduced service life.
