cover.every.possible.installation,.but.is.to.be.regard-
ed.as.recommendations.and.guidelines.applying.to.
Volvo.Penta.standards . .Detailed.Installation.Instruc-
tions.are.included.in.most.of.the.accessory.kits .
These.recommendations.are.the.result.of.many.years.
of.practical.experience.of.installations.from.all.over.
the.world . .Departures.from.recommended.proce-
dures.etc . .can.be.necessary.or.desirable,.however,.in.
which.case.the.Volvo.Penta.organization.will.be.glad.
to.offer.assistance.in.finding.a.solution.for.your.par-
ticular.installation .
It.is.the.sole.responsibility.of.the.installer.to.ensure.
that..the.installation.work.is.carried.out.in.a.satisfac-
tory.manner,.it.is.operationally.in.good.order,.the.ap-
proved.materials.and.accessories.are.used.and.the.
installation.meets.all.applicable.rules.and.regulations .
This.Installation.Manual.has.been.published.for.
professionals.and.qualified.personnel . .It.is.therefore.
assumed.that.persons.using.this.book.have.basic.
knowledge.of.marine.propulsion.systems.and.are.
able.to.carry.out.related.mechanical.and.electrical.
work.
Installation.of.electrical.systems.shall.only.be.carried.

Plan installations with care
Great.care.must.be.taken.in.the.installation.of.en-
gines.and.their.components.if.they.are.to.operate.
perfectly. .Always.make.sure.that.the.correct.specifica-
tions,.drawings.and.any.other.data.are.available.be-
fore.starting.work . .This.will.allow.for.correct.planning.
and.installation.right.from.the.start .
Plan.the.engine.room.so.that.it.is.easy.to.carry.out.
routine.service.operations.involving.the.replacement.
of.components . .Compare.the.engine.Service.Manual.
with.the.original.drawings.showing.the.dimensions .
It.is.very.important.when.installing.engines.that.no.
dirt.or.other.foreign.matter.gets.into.the.fuel,.cooling,.
intake.or.turbocharger.systems,.as.this.can.lead.to.
faults.or.engine.seizure . .For.this.reason.the.systems.
must.be.sealed . .Clean.supply.lines.and.hoses.before.
connecting.them.to.the.engine . .Only.remove.protec-
tive.engine.plugs.when.making.a.connection.to.an.
external.system .

Certified engines
The.manufacturer.of.engines.certified.for.national.
and.local.environmental.legislation.(Lake.Constance.
for.example).pledges.that.this.legislation.is.met.by.
both.new.and.currently.operational.engines . .The.
product.must.compare.with.the.example.approved.
for.certification.purposes . .So.that.Volvo.Penta,.as.a.
manufacturer,.can.pledge.that.currently.operational.
engines.meet.environmental.regulations,.the.follow-
ing.must.be.observed.during.installation:
•. Servicing.of.ignition,.timing.and.fuel.injection.
systems.(gasoline).or.injector.pumps,.pump.set-
tings.and.injectors.(diesel).must.always.be.car-
ried.out.by.an.authorised.Volvo.Penta.workshop . .
•. The.engine.must.not.be.modified.in.any.way.ex-
cept.with.accessories.and.service.kits.developed.
for.it.by.Volvo.Penta . .
•. Installation.of.exhaust.pipes.and.air.intake.ducts.
for.the.engine.compartment.(ventilation.ducts).
must.be.carefully.planned.as.its.design.may.af-
fect.exhaust.emissions . .
•. Seals.may.only.be.broken.by.authorised.person-
nel. .
IMPORTANT! .Use.only.Volvo.Penta.Genuine.
Parts. .
Using non-genuine parts will mean that AB
Volvo Penta will no longer take responsibility
for the engine meeting the certified design. ..
All.damage.and.costs.caused.by.the.use.of.non-
genuine.replacement.parts.will.not.be.covered.
by.Volvo.Penta .
Seaworthiness
It.is.the.boat.builder’s.duty.to.check.that.the.security.
requirements.apply.to.the.market.in.which.the.boat.
is.sold . .In.the.USA.for.example,.these.are.the.US.
Federal.Regulations.for.pleasure.boats.described.
in.Title.46 . .The.requirements.described.below.apply.
to.the.EU.principles . .For.information.and.detailed.
descriptions.of.the.safety.requirements.that.apply.to.
other.markets,.contact.the.authority.for.the.country.
concerned.
As.of.June.16.1998,.pleasure.boats.and.certain.as-
sociated.equipment.marketed.and.used.within.the.
EU.must.bear.CE.labels.to.confirm.that.they.meet.
the.safety.requirements.stipulated.by.the.European.
Parliament.and.Council.of.Europe’s.directive.for.plea-
sure.boats . .The.normative.requirements.can.be.found.
in.the.standards.drawn.up.to.support.the.directive’s.
objective.of.uniform.safety.requirements.for.pleasure.
boats.in.EU.countries .
Certificates.that.grant.the.right.for.CE.label.use.and.
confirm.that.boats.and.equipment.meet.safety.re-
quirements.are.issued.by.approved.notified.bodies . .
In.many.Member.States.the.classification.societies.
have.become.the.notified.bodies.for.pleasure.boats,.
e.g. .Lloyd’s.Register,.Bureau.Veritas,.Registro.Italiano.
Navale,.Germanischer.Lloyd,.etc . .
In.many.cases.completely.new.institutions.have.been.
approved.as.notified.bodies . .The.directive.also.allows.
boat.builders.and.component.manufacturers.to.issue.
assurances.of.compliance.with.the.requirements.of.
the.directive . .This.requires.the.manufacturer.to.store.
the.prescribed.product.documentation.in.a.place.that.
is.accessible.to.the.monitoring.authority.for.at.least.
ten.years.after.the.last.product.is.produced .
Life.boats.and.boats.for.commercial.activities.are.ap-
proved.by.classification.societies.or.by.the.navigation.
authority.for.the.boat’s.registered.country .
Joint liability
Each.engine.consists.of.many.components.working.
together. .One.component.deviating.from.its.technical.
specification.can.cause.a.dramatic.increase.in.the.
environmental.impact.of.an.engine . .It.is.therefore.vital.
that.systems.that.can.be.adjusted.are.adjusted.prop-
erly.and.that.Volvo.Penta.Genuine.Parts.are.used . .
Certain.systems.e .g.components .in.the.fuel.system.
may.require.special.expertise.and.special.test.equip-
ment. .Some.components.are.sealed.at.the.factory.for.
environmental.reasons . .No.work.should.be.carried.
out.on.sealed.components.except.by.authorised.per-
sonnel.
Remember.that.most.chemical.products.damage.the.
environment.if.used.incorrectly . .Volvo.Penta.recom-
mends.the.use.of.biodegradable.degreasing.agents.
for.cleaning.engine.components,.unless.otherwise.
indicated.in.a.Workshop.Manual . .Take.special.care.
when.working.on.board.boats.to.ensure.that.oil.and.
waste.are.taken.for.destruction.and.not.accidentally.
pumped.into.the.environment.with.bilgewater .

Engine monitoring system
The.engines.are.equipped.with.common.rail.system.
and.electronically.controlled.injectors.(D4,.D6).or.unit.
injectors.(D9,.D12,.D16).with.an.electronic.control.
Engine monitoring and the EVC system
unit. .
The.injectors.contain.an.electro-magnetic.valve.which.
sets.the.amount.of.fuel.injected.and.the.correct.tim-
ing. .The.monitoring.system.measures.the.charge.air.
pressure.and.temperature,.and.calculates.the.avail-
able.air.mass . .This.determines.the.maximum.amount.
of.fuel.that.can.be.injected.(smoke.limiter.function) .
The.system.also.limits.the.maximum.torque.available.
at.the.engine.speed.registered.to.protect.the.engine.
and.transmission.from.overload .
To.protect.the.engine.at.too.high.coolant.or.charge.air.
temperatures.and.boost.pressure.as.well.as.oil.pres-
sure,.the.monitoring.system.reduces.the.amount.of.
fuel.(reduced.engine.output).until.the.current.values.
are.normalized .
The.engine.monitoring.system.also.has.a.diagnostic.
system,.which.helps.users.and.service.technicians.to.
determine.the.cause.of.any.malfunctions.in.the.sys-
tem.quickly.by.using.the.diagnostic.tool . .
Any.fault.is.shown.on.the.EVC.system.tachometer.
