Cosmetic Care & Maintenance
Volvo-Checking Serpentine Belt
Remove the keys from the ignition switches before
performing any maintenance procedure. All Volvo
engines use a serpentine belt which connects the
alternator, raw water pump, idler pulley, and power
steering pump.
The serpentine belt tension is automatically controlled
and requires no tension adjustments. At least once per
year check the belt for wear, cracks, check marks, dry
rot, exposed cords, oil or grease.
When the marks C & D line-up it is time to replace the
serpentine belt.
Volvo-Checking Engine Alignment
The engine alignment should be checked annually usually
when the stern drive is taken off during decomissioning.
A special driveshaft is needed for this maintenance
procedure available only at Volvo repair centers or marinas
where personnel are trained on the latest engine alignment
procedures.
Note: Do not attempt the alignment procedure yourself
since drive train/engine component damage will result
from misalignment.
