Maintenance Final Ten Hours 1. During the final ten hours of break-in, you may operate at full throttle for five to ten minutes at a time. 2. After warming the engine to operating tempera- ture, momentarily increase engine speed. 3. Occasionally reduce engine speed to idle to pro- vide cooling periods. At the end of the 20 hour break-in period, drain the en- gine oil and replace the oil filter. Fill the crankcase with Volvo Penta’s engine oil. 22814 First Service Inspection (Dealer 20-Hour Check) To ensure your continued boating enjoyment, we recommend that you return your Volvo Penta product to your Volvo Penta dealer for a 20-hour check.
This 20-hour check will prevent a minor problem from getting worse and helps ensure a trouble-free boating season. When servicing your engine, your Volvo Penta dealer will use the following guidelines to inspect your product: 7743722 - Downloaded from www.volvopenta.com 13/05/2008 20:17:06 Start the engine and check that: No leakage of fuel, oil, water, or exhaust gases occurs. Check propeller(s) and propeller fasteners. Engine oil pressure and temperature are within specification. Check condition of battery and battery cable connections. Check the tension and condition of drive belt(s). All cables and controls operate correctly.
Lubricate all grease fittings and linkages follow- ing service recommendations. All gauges, instruments, and alarms operate cor- rectly. Check tightness of all water, fuel, exhaust clamps, fittings, drive bellows, and drains. Steering system operates correctly. Engine ignition timing and idle RPM are within specifications. Restart the engine and recheck that: Power trim system operates correctly. No leakage of fuel, oil, water, or exhaust gases occurs. Stop the engine and: Engine oil pressure and temperature are within specifications. Change engine oil and oil filter. Change fuel/water separator filter.
This is a perfect time to discuss with your Volvo Penta dealer any questions about your engine that may have arisen during the first 20 hours of operation and estab- lish a routine preventive maintenance schedule. Clean seawater strainer (if equipped). Check fluid levels and fluid condition in stern- drive or inboard transmission, power steering pump, and trim pump. NOTE! Always insist that your dealer use genuine Volvo Penta parts when replacing engine components. Operating After Break-in Period After the break-in period, the engine can be operated at any RPM from idle to full throttle. Cruising at 3600 RPM or less, however, saves fuel, reduces noise, and prolongs engine life.
