Introduction
Certified Engines
It is essential that owners and operators of emission certified engines, used in areas where exhaust emissions
are regulated by law, are aware of the following points:
A certification involves the engine type being checked and approved by applicable authorities. Engine manufac-
turers guarantee that all engines of the same type correspond with the certified engine.
This puts special demands on the maintenance and service of your engine:
• Maintenance and service intervals recommended by Volvo Penta must be followed.
• Only Volvo Penta original spare parts may be used.
• Service of injector pumps, pump settings and injectors must always be performed by an authorized Volvo
Penta service person.
• The engine must not be modified in any way with the exception of accessories and service kits approved
by Volvo Penta for use on the engine.
• Installation modifications must not be made to the engine exhaust pipe or inlet channels.
• Sealed sections must not be broken by anyone other than authorized personnel.
Otherwise, general directions concerning running, care and maintenance given in the operator’s manual apply.
VP gensets are certified in accordance with three TR CU’s: “On Safety of Machinery and Equipment” (TR CU
010/2011), “Electromagnetic capability” (TR CU 020/2011) and “On safety of low voltage
equipment”(004/2011).
IMPORTANT!
Neglected or deficient maintenance/service and the use of non-original spare parts will entail Volvo Penta
renouncing any responsibility for the engine corresponding to the certified version. Volvo Penta will not compen-
sate for damage and/or costs arising from the above.

are out of contact with moving parts of the engine or
the generator. Notify people in the vicinity of the genset
when starting.
IMPORTANT!
Always keep the engine room well ventilated. Insuffi-
cient airsupply to the engine means imperfect com-
bustion and loss of power.
IMPORTANT!
If the starter motor has been engaged for the maximum
time (30 seconds), it must be allowed to cool down for
at least one minute before a new attempt is made at
starting.

the genset is running. This can damage the alternator.
IMPORTANT!
Make sure the generator heater is working properly to
avoid condensation in the generator.
Anti-freezing measures
If the engine room cannot be protected from frost, the
seawater system must be drained and the coolant in
the freshwater system must contain sufficient anti-
freeze to prevent it from freezing. Refer to chapter
General page 60.
WARNING!
If the raw water system bursts due to freezing, the ves-
sel could sink.
IMPORTANT!
If the coolant does not give sufficient anti-freeze pro-
tection, it may cause costly damage to the engine.
Check the charge of the battery. A poorly charged bat-
tery can freeze and break.
IMPORTANT!
The engine must be conserved if it is not to be used for
longer than two months. Refer to chapter Gen-
eral page 87.

Cooling System
General
The freshwater system is the internal cooling system
of the engine. It is a closed system and shall always be
filled with coolant that protects the engine from internal
corrosion and frost damage if the climate requires it.
Anticorrosive additives become less efficient with age
and the coolant must therefore be changed in accord-
ance with the recommendations in the maintenance
schedule.
WARNING!
Do not open the coolant filler cap when the engine is
warm. Steam or hot fluid could spray out, causing
severe burns.
WARNING!
All coolant is hazardous and harmful to the environ-
ment. Do not consume. Coolant is flammable.
IMPORTANT!
For coolant specification, refer to section Technical
Data page 98 .
IMPORTANT!
Check the coolant level on a cold stationary engine.
IMPORTANT!
Coolant to be added should have the same concen-
tration as the coolant in the engine. Do not add plain
water.
IMPORTANT!
Certain parts of the system are made of light alloy.
Chemical additives must therefore not be used when
cleaning the system.

Freshwater System
The engine's internal cooling system makes sure the
engine works at the right temperature. It is a closed
system that must always be filled with a mixture of
concentrated coolant and water in order to protect the
engine against internal corrosion, cavitation and bursts
due to freezing.
IMPORTANT!
Coolant of a suitable chemical composition must be
used all year round. This also applies in areas where
there is never any risk of freezing, to provide the engine
with full corrosion protection.
The corrosion protection additives become less effec-
tive over time, which means that the coolant must be
changed at regular intervals; refer to the Maintenance
Schedule page 23. The cooling system must be
flushed whenever the coolant is changed; refer to the
Cooling System, Cleaning section.
IMPORTANT!
• The two types of Volvo Penta coolant may never be
mixed with each other as this will affect the anti-cor-
rosion properties.
• Coolant filters may not be used together with Volvo
Penta Coolant VCS.
• Engines using yellow Volvo Penta Coolant VCS
must have a yellow decal with the text VOLVO
COOLANT VCS on the expansion tank.
47701649 04-2016 73
Maintenance
Ready Mixed
Ready mixed coolant contains 40% Volvo Penta Cool-
ant / Volvo Penta Coolant VCS and 60% water. This
mixture protects the engine against internal corrosion,
cavitation and bursts due to freezing down to –28°C (–
18 F).
Coolant, Mixing
The concentrated coolant must be mixed with pure
water (distilled or de-ionized water) according to spec-
ifications; refer to Water Quality page 98.
WARNING!
All coolant is hazardous and harmful to the environ-
ment. Do not consume. Coolant is flammable.
IMPORTANT!
Different kinds of coolant must not be mixed with each
other!
74 47701649 04-2016
Maintenance
CAUTION!
Avoid opening the filler cap for engine coolant system
(freshwater cooled engines) when the engine is still
hot. Steam or hot coolant can spray out as system
pressure is lost.
Filling coolant
The freshwater system (HT) is automatically bled via
the pressure relief spring on the pressure cap on the
expansion tank. Check the closure plug and seal ring
for leaks when the engine is in operation. Tighten the
plug if necessary.
Topping up
IMPORTANT!
When topping up, use the same coolant mixture as
already in the system.

Electrical System
General
The engines have a comprehensive electrical engine
management system. This automatic system monitors
engine speed as well as the electrical and fuel systems
and the engine cooling and lubrication functions. The
system consists of a number of switches and sensors
which activate an alarm or shutdown (optional) if a fault
is detected in the engine.
Supply voltage is 24 V.
WARNING!
Always stop the engine and break the current using the
main switches before working on the electrical system.
Isolate shore current to the engine block heater, bat-
tery charger or accessories mounted on the engine.
Main Switch
IMPORTANT!
Never disconnect the current with the main switches
when the engine is running, the alternator and elec-
tronics could be damaged.
47701649 04-2016 83
Maintenance
Fuses
The engine is equipped with a semi-automatic fuse
(8A) which cut the current if overloaded. The fuse is
located in the junction box on the engines service side.
The semi-automatic fuse are re-set by pressing the red
button, once any faults have been attended to.
IMPORTANT!
If the fuse trips frequently, an authorized Volvo Penta
workshop should be contacted to investigate the cause
of the overload.

Storage
General
To prevent the genset and other equipment from being
harmed during long (2 months or more) periods out of
service, it must be conserved. It is of utmost impor-
tance that the conservation is performed correctly.
Therefore we have compiled a checklist of the most
important points. Before taking the genset out of serv-
ice for long periods, it should be checked by a Volvo
Penta dealer for possible need of overhaul or repair.
CAUTION!
Read the chapter on Maintenance before starting
work. It contains instructions on how to carry out main-
tenance and service operations in a safe and correct
manner.
IMPORTANT!
The following must be considered when cleaning with
a high-pressure water jet: Never point high-pressure
water jets directly at seals, rubber hoses or electrical
components. Never use the high-pressure function
when washing the engine.
IMPORTANT!
For generator specific inhibiting information, refer to
generator documentation.
Preparation
1 Stop up to eight months: Change oil and oil filter
on the engine and then run it warm
Stop over eight months: Treat the lubricating and
fuel systems with conservation oil. See directions
on next page.
2 Make sure there is enough anti-freeze in the cool-
ant. Add more if necessary. An alternative is to
drain the coolant.
3 Drain the raw water system.
4 Remove the impeller from the rawwater pump.
Keep the impeller in a cool place in a closed plastic
bag.
5 Drain off any water and contaminant from the fuel
tank. Fill the tank with fuel to avoid condensation.
6 Disconnect the battery cables and clean and
charge the batteries. Trickle charge during the stor-
age period. A poorly charged battery can freeze
and break.
7 Clean the engine externally. Touch up any paint
damage with Volvo Penta original paint.
8 Spray electric system components with water repel-
lant.
