running characteristics. Use the oil pressure and water temperature gauges to verify a problem exists, then check the
engine for proper oil level and the water inlets for obstructions. The low oil pressure/engine overheat problem must be
corrected before the engine will return to normal operation.
To reset the engine protection mode after the problem is corrected, shut off the engine, then restart it.
Note:
If the problem continues, contact your nearest Volvo Penta dealer and have the engine checked.
Instruments __________________________________________________________________
Before operating your Volvo Penta product, familiarize yourself with the instruments supplied with your boat. (Some
boats may not have Volvo Pentaz instruments. Read the boat’s owner’s manual to become familiar with the
instruments used.)

Trim/tilt motor protection
Always allow the trim/tilt switch to return to its center position when the drive unit reaches its maximum
raised or lowered position. This precaution will prevent your trim/tilt motor from overheating.
Impact protection
• The trim/tilt system provides impact protection for the drive unit. If an impact occurs, the drive will “kick up,”
thereby helping to minimize drive damage. Impact damage, however, can occur in either
FORWARD
or
REVERSE
directions. You must be careful when
• You operate in
FORWARD
or
REVERSE
• You are backing at low speeds
• You trailer your boat
• You launch your boat.
Note:
Impact damage is more likely to occur when you are in a turn where side loads are placed on the drive unit.
