General instructions
Safety information
Introduction
This Workshop Manual contains descriptions and
repair instructions for Volvo Penta products or prod-
uct versions contained in the contents list. Ensure
that the correct workshop literature is being used.
Read the safety information and the Workshop
Manual “General Information” and “Repair In-
structions” carefully before starting work.
Important
In this book and on the product, you will find the fol-
lowing special warning symbols.
WARNING! If these instructions are not fol-
lowed there is a danger of personal injury, ex-
tensive damage to the product or serious me-
chanical malfunction.
IMPORTANT! Used to draw your attention to
something that can cause damage, product
malfunction or damage to property.
NOTE! Used to draw your attention to important in-
formation that will facilitate work or operations.
Below is a summary of the risks and safety precau-
tions you should always observe or carry out when
operating or servicing the engine.
Immobilize the engine by turning off the power
supply to the engine at the main switch
(switches) and lock it (them) in the OFF posi-
tion before starting work. Set up a warning no-
tice at the engine control point or helm.
Generally, all servicing should be carried out
with the engine switched off. However, some
work, certain adjustments for example, require
that the engine is running when they are car-
ried out. Approaching a running engine is dan-
gerous. Loose clothing or long hair can catch
in rotating parts and cause serious personal
injury.
If working in proximity to a running engine,
careless movements or a dropped tool can re-
sult in personal injury. Avoid burns. Take pre-
cautions to avoid hot surfaces (exhausts, tur-
bochargers, charge air pipes and starter ele-
ments etc.) and liquids in supply lines and
hoses when the engine is running or has been
turned off immediately prior to starting work
on it. Reinstall all protective parts removed
during service operations before starting the
engine.
Check that the warning or information decals
on the product are always clearly visible. Re-
place decals that have been damaged or paint-
ed over.
Engines with turbochargers: Never start the
engine without installing the air cleaner (ACL)
filter. The rotating compressor in the turbo-
charger can cause serious personal injury.
Foreign objects entering the intake ducts can
also cause mechanical damage.
Never use start spray or similar to start the
engine. An explosion may occur in the inlet
manifold. Danger of personal injury.
Avoid opening the filler cap for the engine
coolant system (freshwater cooled engines)
when the engine is still hot. Steam or hot cool-
ant can spray out. Open the coolant filler cap
carefully and slowly to release the pressure
before removing the cap completely. Take
great care if a cock, plug or engine coolant
line must be removed from a hot engine. It is
difficult to anticipate in which direction steam
or hot coolant can spray out.
Hot oil can cause burns. Avoid getting hot oil
on the skin. Ensure that the lubrication system
is not under pressure before carrying out any
work. Never start or operate the engine with
the oil filler cap removed, otherwise oil could
be ejected.
Stop the engine and close the seacock valve
before carrying out operations on the engine
cooling system.
Only start the engine in a well-ventilated area.
If operating the engine in an enclosed space,
ensure that exhaust gases and crankcase
ventilation emissions are extracted from the
workshop area.

General instructions
Always use protective goggles where there is
a danger of pieces of metal, sparks from
grinding, acid or other chemicals being thrown
into your eyes. Eyes are very sensitive. Injury
to them can lead to the loss of sight!
Avoid skin contact with oil! Long-term or re-
peated contact with oil can remove the natural
oils from your skin. This can result in irrita-
tion, dry skin, eczema and other skin prob-
lems. Used oil is more dangerous to health
than new oil. Use protective gloves and avoid
using oil-soaked clothes and rags. Wash regu-
larly, especially before meals. Use the correct
barrier cream to prevent dry skin and to make
cleaning your skin easier.
Most chemicals used in products (engine and
transmission oils, glycol, petrol and diesel oil)
and workshop chemicals (solvents and paints)
are hazardous to health Read the instructions
on the product packaging carefully! Always
follow safety instructions (using breathing ap-
paratus, protective goggles and gloves for ex-
ample). Ensure that other personnel are not
unwittingly exposed to hazardous substances
(by inhalation for example). Ensure that venti-
lation is good. Handle used and excess chem-
icals according to the instructions.
Be extremely careful when tracing leaks in the
fuel system and testing fuel injection nozzles.
Use protective goggles! The jet ejected from a
fuel injection nozzle is under very high pres-
sure. It can penetrate body tissues and cause
serious injury Danger of blood poisoning.
All fuels and many chemicals are inflammable.
Ensure that a naked flame or sparks cannot
ignite fuel or chemicals. Combined with air in
certain ratios, petrol, some solvents and hy-
drogen from batteries are easily inflammable
and explosive. Smoking is prohibited! Ensure
that ventilation is good and that the necessary
safety precautions have been taken before
carrying out welding or grinding work. Always
have a fire extinguisher to hand in the work-
place.
Store oil and fuel-soaked rags and fuel and oil
filters safely. In certain conditions, oil-soaked
rags can spontaneously ignite. Replaced fuel
and oil filters are environmentally harmful
waste and should be disposed of at proper
disposal areas together with engine and trans-
mission oil, contaminated fuel, old paint, de-
greasing agents, and cleaning residue.
Never allow a naked flame or electric sparks
near the batteries. Never smoke in the vicinity
of the batteries. The batteries give off hydro-
gen gas during charging which when mixed
with air can form an explosive gas - oxyhydro-
gen. This gas is easily ignited and highly vola-
tile. Incorrect connection of the battery can
cause a single spark which is sufficient to
cause an explosion with resulting damage. Do
not disturb the battery connections when start-
ing the engine (spark risk) and do not lean
over batteries.
Always ensure that the positive and negative
battery leads are correctly installed on the
corresponding terminal posts on the batteries.
Incorrect installation can result in serious
damage to electrical equipment. Refer to the
wiring diagram.
Always use protective goggles when charging
and handling the batteries. The battery elec-
trolyte contains extremely corrosive sulfuric
acid. If this comes into contact with the skin,
wash immediately with soap and plenty of wa-
ter. If battery acid comes into contact with the
eyes, immediately flush with copious amounts
of water and obtain medical assistance.
Turn off the engine and switch off the power at
the main switch(es) before carrying out work
on the electrical system.

General instructions
Use the lifting eyes mounted on the engine /
reverse gear when lifting the drive unit.
Always check that lifting equipment is in good
condition and has sufficient load capacity to
lift the engine (engine weight including reverse
gear and any extra equipment installed).
Use an adjustable lifting beam or lifting beam
specifically for the engine to raise the engine
to ensure safe handling and to avoid damaging
engine parts installed on the top of the engine.
All chains and cables should run parallel to
each other and as perpendicular as possible in
relation to the top of the engine.
If extra equipment is installed on the engine,
thereby altering its center of gravity, a special
lifting device is required to achieve the correct
balance for safe handling.
Never carry out work on an engine suspended
on a hoist.
Never remove heavy components alone, even
where secure lifting equipment such as se-
cured blocks are being used. Even where lift-
ing equipment is being used, it is best to carry
out the work with two people; one to operate
the lifting equipment and the other to ensure
that components are not trapped and damaged
when being lifted.
When working on-board, ensure that there is
sufficient space to remove components with-
out danger of injury or damage.
Components in the electrical system, ignition
system (gasoline engines) and fuel system on
Volvo Penta products are designed and con-
structed to minimize the risk of fire and explo-
sion. The engine must not be run in areas
where there are explosive materials.
Always use fuels recommended by Volvo Pen-
ta. Refer to the Instruction Book. The use of
other grades of fuel can damage the engine.
On a diesel engine, poor quality fuel can
cause the control rod to seize and the engine
to overrev with the resulting risk of damage to
the engine and personal injury. Poor fuel quali-
ty can also lead to higher maintenance costs.

General information
Certificated engines
If you own an engine certificated for any area
where exhaust emissions are regulated by law,
the following is important:
Certification means that an engine type is inspected
and approved by the authorities. The engine manu-
facturer guarantees that all engines manufactured of
that type correspond to the certified engine.
This places special requirements for mainte-
nance and service as follows:
• The maintenance and service intervals recom-
mended by Volvo Penta must be observed.
• Only genuine Volvo Penta replacement parts
may be used.
• The service of injection pumps and injectors or
pump settings must always be carried out by
an authorized Volvo Penta workshop.
• The engine must not be modified in any way ex-
cept with accessories and service kits ap-
proved by Volvo Penta.
• No modifications to the exhaust pipes and air
supply ducts for the engine room may be un-
dertaken.
• Seals may only be broken by authorized per-
sonnel.
In addition, the general instructions contained in the
Instruction Manual concerning operation, service
and maintenance must be followed.
IMPORTANT! Late or inadequate maintenance
/ service or the use of spare parts other than
Volvo Penta original spare parts will invalidate
AB Volvo Penta’s responsibility for the engine
specification being in accordance with the cer-
tificated variant.
Volvo Penta accepts no responsibility or liabil-
ity for any damage or costs arising due to the
above.
About the workshop manual
This Service Manual contains descriptions and in-
structions for the repair of the following engines in
standard format: MD22A, MD22L-A, MD22L-B,
MD22P-B, TMD22A, TMD22-A, TMD22-B, TMD22P-
C, TAMD22P-B. This Service Manual can show op-
erations carried out on any of the engines listed
above. As a result, the illustrations and pictures in
the manual showing certain engines components,
do not in some cases apply to all the engines listed
above. However, the repair and service operations
described are the same in all essential details.
Where they are not the same, this is stated in the
manual. Where the difference is considerable, the
operations are described separately. The engine
designation and engine number are displayed on the
identification plate (see the chapter “Identifying
numbers”). The engine designation and number
should be given in all correspondence about the en-
gine.
This Workshop Manual has been developed primari-
ly for Volvo Penta service workshops and qualified
personnel. Personnel using this book are assumed
to have a grounding in marine drive systems and
able to carry out the related mechanical and electri-
cal work.
Volvo Penta is continuously developing their prod-
ucts. We therefore reserve the right to make chang-
es. All the information contained in this book is
based on product data available at the time of going
to print. Any essential changes or modifications in-
troduced into production or updated or revised serv-
ice methods introduced after the date of publication
will be provided in the form of Service Bulletins.
Spare parts
Replacement parts for electrical and fuel systems
are subject to statutory requirements (US Coast
Guard Safety Regulations for example). Volvo Pen-
ta Genuine parts meet these requirements. Any
type of damage which results from the use of non-
original Volvo Penta replacement parts for the prod-
uct will not be covered under any warranty provided
by Volvo Penta.

Repair Instructions
The working methods described in the Service Man-
ual apply to work carried out in a workshop. The en-
gine has been removed from the boat and is in-
stalled in an engine fixture. Unless otherwise stated
reconditioning work which can be carried out with
the engine in place follows the same working meth-
od.
Warning symbols occurring in the Workshop Manu-
al (for their meaning see Safety information)
WARNING!
IMPORTANT!
NOTE!
are not in any way comprehensive since it is impos-
sible to predict every circumstance under which
service work or repairs may be carried out. For this
reason we can only highlight the risks that can arise
when work is carried out incorrectly in a well-
equipped workshop using working methods and
tools developed by us.
All procedures for which there are Volvo Penta spe-
cial tools in this Workshop Manual are carried out
using these. Special tools are developed to rational-
ize working methods and make procedures as safe
as possible. It is therefore the responsibility of any
person using tools or working methods other than
the ones recommended by us to ensure that there is
no danger of injury, damage or malfunction resulting
from these.
In some cases there may be special safety precau-
tions and instructions for the use of tools and chem-
icals contained in this Workshop Manual. These
special instructions should always be followed if
there are no separate instructions in the Workshop
Manual.
Certain elementary precautions and common sense
can prevent most risks arising. A clean workplace
and engine eliminates much of the danger of injury
and malfunction.
It is of the greatest importance that no dirt or for-
eign particles get into the fuel system, lubrication
system, intake system, turbocharger, bearings and
seals when they are being worked on. The result can
be malfunction or a shorter operational life.
Our Joint responsibility
Every engine consists of many systems and com-
ponents that work together. If one component devi-
ates from the technical specifications this can have
dramatic consequences on the environmental im-
pact of the engine even if it is otherwise in good
running order. It is therefore vital that wear toler-
ances are maintained, that systems that can be ad-
justed are adjusted properly and that Volvo Penta
Genuine Parts as used. The engine Maintenance
Schedule must be followed.
Certain systems (components in the fuel system for
example) may require specialist expertise and test
equipment. Some components are sealed at the fac-
tory for environmental reasons. No work should be
carried out on sealed components except by author-
ized personnel.
Bear in mind that most chemicals used on boats are
harmful to the environment if used incorrectly. Vol-
vo Penta recommends the use of biodegradable de-
greasing agents for cleaning engine components,
unless otherwise stated in a workshop manual.
Take special care when working on-board, that oil
and waste is taken for destruction and is not acci-
dentally pumped into the environment with bilge wa-
ter.
Tightening torque
Tightening torques for vital joints that must be tight-
ened with a torque wrench are listed in Workshop
manual “Technical Data”: and are in certain cases
contained in work descriptions in this Manual. All
torques apply for cleaned threads, screw heads and
mating surfaces. Torques apply for lightly oiled or
dry threads. If lubricants, locking fluid or sealing
compound are required for a screwed joint this in-
formation will be contained in the work description.
Where no tightening torque is stated for a joint use
the general tightening torques according to the ta-
bles below. The tightening torques stated are a
guide and the joint does not have to be tightened us-
ing a torque wrench.

General instructions
Protractor tightening torques
Tightening using both a torque setting and a protrac-
tor angle requires that first the recommended torque
is applied using a torque wrench and then the rec-
ommended angle is added according to the protrac-
tor scale. Example: a 90° protractor tightening
means that the joint is tightened a further 1/4 turn in
one operation after the stated tightening torque has
been applied.
Locknuts
Do not re-use lock nuts that have been removed
during dismantling as they have reduced service life
when re-used - use new nuts when assembling or
reinstalling. For lock nuts with a plastic insert such
as Nylock
®
the tightening torque stated in the table
is reduced if the Nylock
®
nut has the same head
height as a standard hexagonal nut without plastic
insert. Reduce the tightening torque by 25% for 8
mm bolt sizes or larger. Where Nylock
®
nuts are
higher, or of the same height as a standard hexago-
nal nut, the tightening torques given in the table ap-
ply.
Strength classes
Screws and nuts are divided into different strength
classes, the class is indicated by the number on the
bolt head. A high number indicates stronger materi-
al, for example a bolt marked 10-9 indicates a high-
er strength than one marked 8-8. It is therefore im-
portant that bolts removed during the disassembly
of a bolted joint must be reinstalled in their original
position when assembling the joint. If a bolt must be
replaced check in the replacement parts catalogue
to make sure the correct bolt is used.
Sealing compound
A number of sealants and locking liquids are used
on the engines. The agents have varying properties
and are used for different types of jointing
strengths, operating temperature ranges, resistance
to oil and other chemicals and for the different ma-
terials and gap sizes in the engines.
To ensure service work is correctly carried out it is
important that the correct sealant and locking fluid
type is used on the joint where the agents are re-
quired.
In this Volvo Penta Service Manual the user will find
that each section where these agents are applied in
production states which type was used on the en-
gine.
During service operations use the same agent or an
alternative from a different manufacturer.
Ensure that mating surfaces are dry and free from
oil, grease, paint and anti-corrosion agent before
applying sealant or locking fluid.
Always follow the manufacturer’s instructions for
use regarding; temperature range, curing time and
any other instructions for the product.
Two different basic types of agent are used on the
engine. These are:
RTV agent (Room temperature vulcanizing). Used
for gaskets, sealing gasket joints or coating gas-
kets. RTV agent is clearly visible when a compo-
nent has been dismantled; old RTV must be re-
moved before the joint is resealed.
The following RTV agents are mentioned in the
Service Manual: Loctite
®
574, Volvo Penta 840879-
1, Permatex
®
No.3, Volvo Penta P/N 1161099-5, Permatex
(r)
No.
77. Old sealant can be removed using denatured al-
cohol in all cases.
Anaerobic agents. These agents cure in an absence
of air. They are used when two solid parts, for ex-
ample cast components, are installed face-to-face
without a gasket. Used to seal and lock plugs, stud
threads, stopcocks, oil pressure sensors etc. Cured
anaerobic agents are glassy and the agents are
colored to make them visible. Cured anaerobic
agents are extremely resistant to solvents and the
old agent cannot be removed. When reinstalling the
part is carefully degreased and then new sealant is
applied.
The following anaerobic agents are mentioned in the
Service Manual: Loctite
®
572 (white), Loctite
®
241
(blue).
