!
The components in the electrical and fuel sys-
tems on
Volvo Penta products are designed and
manufactured to minimize the risk of fire and
explosion. The engine must not be run in areas
where there are explosive materials.
!
Exercise extreme caution when leak-detecting
on the fuel system and testing the fuel injector
nozzles. Use
eye protection. The jet from a fuel
nozzle has very high pressure and great pene-
tration power. Fuel can force its way deep into
body tissue and cause severe injury. There is a
risk of blood poisoning (septicemia).
!
Only use fuels and lubricating oils recom-
mended by
Volvo Penta. Refer to the Operator's
Manual for the product in question. Use of fuels
that are of a lower grade may damage the
engine, the injection pump and the injectors. On
a diesel engine, low grade fuel can cause the
control rod to bind and the engine to over-rev,
with the risk of engine damage and personal
injury as a result. Low fuel and oil grades may
result in high service, maintenance and repair
costs.
!
Never use a high-pressure washer for cleaning
the engine.
Pay attention
to the following when using a high-
pressure washer on components other than the
actual engine: Never direct the water jet at
seals, rubber hoses or electrical components.
!
Fuel delivery pipes must not be bent or straight-
ened under any circumstances. Cracks may
occur. Damaged pipes must be replaced.
