In Case of Emergency
Running Aground
The trim/tilt system provides impact protection in the
trim/tilt cylinders. If an impact occurs while in forward
motion, the cylinders will allow the drive to “kick up,”
thereby helping to minimize drive damage. However,
impact damage can occur in either FORWARD or
REVERSE directions.
NOTICE! When backing-up in REVERSE, there is no
impact protection. Be very careful when backing-up
and never exceed 2500 RPM.
If an impact occurs, check that the drive and propeller
remain undamaged and that the drive does not vibrate.
If there is damage or vibration, the boat should be
driven slowly (if possible) to an area where it can be
removed from the water for inspection.
Lift the boat ashore. Check the drive oil level and qual-
ity. If the oil is milky-white, water has entered the drive
and it must be inspected by an authorized Volvo Penta
workshop. Replace the propeller if it is damaged.
To prevent galvanic corrosion, any paint damage on
the drive and propeller should be repaired before
launching the boat again.
Starting Using Auxiliary
Batteries
DANGER!
Never allow an open flame or electric sparks near the
battery or batteries. Never smoke in proximity to the
batteries. The batteries give off hydrogen gas during
charging which, when mixed with air, can form an
explosive gas. This gas is easily ignited and highly vol-
atile.
DANGER!
Never interchange the positive and negative poles on
the batteries. Risk of arcing and explosion.
DANGER!
Battery electrolyte is a corrosive acid and should be
handled with care. If you spill or splash electrolyte on
any part of the body, immediately flush the exposed
area with liberal amounts of water and seek medical
attention as soon as possible.
