Maintenance and Care
Volvo Penta engines and transmissions are designed for maximum service life and reliability. They are built to survive in
a tough marine environment, but also to cause as little environmental impact as possible. In order for
your engine and
transmission to operate reliably,
regular maintenance is necessary. This chapter describes the engine/transmission
and how to carry out the most essential maintenance operations. The preceding page has a maintenance schedule
which shows when maintenance operations must be carried out.
Caution!
When replacement parts are required, always use genuine Volvo Penta parts, or parts with equivalent
characteristics, including type, strength, and material. Failure to do so may result in product malfunction and
possible injury to the operator or passengers.
WARNING!
To prevent personal injury the engine must be turned off before starting maintenance work.

Belt Adjustment
Your Volvo Penta engine is equipped with a self adjusting
serpentine drive belt that drives the alternator, power
steering pump, and circulation pump. No adjustment is
necessary as it has a automatic belt tensioner (1).
