Long Term Storage
For long term storage (more than two months), we recommend that you have your Volvo Penta dealer “winterize”
your engine and drive. Your dealer will provide the proper servicing and maintenance to ensure that your equip-
ment is treated and stored properly.
NOTICE! We recommend that you go to an authorized Volvo Penta dealer for these procedures; however, if you
wish to do the work yourself, please refer to the Do It Yourself manual.
Should you decide to winterize the engine and drive yourself, carry out the following procedures, in the order in
which they are listed below:
Remove drive to inspect bellows for water.
Check engine alignment.
Lubricate shift cables.
Replace engine oil and oil filter.
Replace drive oil.
Fuel system treatment as described in Fuel Sys-
tem in the chapter entitled Maintenance. Please
be sure to read the entire procedure in Fuel
System and Fuel Storage Mixture before con-
tinuing.
