Safety Information
Safety precautions for operation and maintenance (cont.)
Lifting the engine
When lifting the engine, use the lifting eyes installed
on the engine. Always check that lifting equipment is
in good condition and is strong enough for the lift (en-
gine weight plus any extra equipment). For safety's
sake lift the engine using an adjustable lifting beam.
All chains and cables should run parallel to each other
and as perpendicular as possible in relation to the top
of the engine. Bear in mind that extra equipment in-
stalled on the engine may alter its centre of gravity.
Special lifting equipment may then be required in order
to maintain the correct balance and make the engine
safe to handle. Never carry out work on an engine
suspended on a hoist.
Before starting the engine
Reinstall all guards removed during service operations
before starting the engine. Check that no tools or oth-
er items have been left on the engine.
Never start a turbocharger engine without installing the
air filter. The rotating compressor in the turbocharger
can cause serious personal injury. Foreign objects
can also be sucked in and cause mechanical damage
to the unit.
Fire and explosion
Fuel and lubrication oil
All fuel, most lubricants and many chemicals are in-
flammable. Read and follow the instructions on the
packaging.
When carrying out work on the fuel system, make
sure the engine is cold. A fuel spill onto a hot surface
or electrical components can cause a fire.
Store fuel-soaked rags and other flammable material
so that there is no danger of them catching fire. In
certain conditions oil-soaked rags can spontaneously
ignite.
Do not smoke when filling fuel or oil, or in proximity of
a filling station or in the engine room.
Use of components other than Volvo Original re-
placement parts
Components used in the fuel and electrical systems
on Volvo Penta products are designed and construct-
ed to minimise the risk of fire and explosion.
Using non-original Volvo Penta parts can result in fire
or explosion.

Batteries
The batteries contain and give off oxyhydrogen gas,
especially during charging. This gas is easily ignited
and highly flammable.
Do not under any circumstances smoke or use naked
flame or allow sparks in the vicinity of the batteries or
battery compartment.
Incorrectly connecting a battery terminal cable or
jump-start cable can cause a spark which in turn can
cause an explosion.
Start spray
Never use start spray or similar agents to start an en-
gine equipped with air pre-heating (glow plugs / starter
element). The starter element may cause an explo-
sion in the inlet manifold. Danger of personal injury.
Hot surfaces and fluids
There is always a risk of burns when working with a
hot engine. Beware of hot surfaces. For example: the
exhaust pipe, turbocharger (TC), oil pan, charge air
pipe, starter element, hot coolant and hot oil in oil
lines and hoses.
Chemicals
Most chemicals such as anti-freeze, rustproofing
agent, inhibiting oil, degreasing agent etc. are hazard-
ous to health. Read and follow the instructions on the
packaging.
Some chemicals such as inhibiting oil are inflammable
and also dangerous if inhaled. Ensure good ventilation
and use a protective mask when spraying. Read and
follow the instructions on the packaging.
Store chemicals and other hazardous materials out of
the reach of children. To protect the environment
please dispose of used or leftover chemicals at a
properly designated disposal point.
Lubrication system
Hot oil can cause burns. Avoid skin contact with hot
oil. Ensure that the lubrication system is not under
pressure before commencing work on it. Never start or
operate the engine with the oil filler cap removed, as
oil can spray out.
