D9, D12 and D16 engines
Press the lock tab up and pull the connector/connec-
tors out. Refit the connector to the engine control unit
after disconnecting the welding equipment.
Take care to avoid all moving parts of the engine
during testing and operation. Approaching an
engine which is operating is a hazard to personal
safety. Loose clothing or long hair can become
entangled in moving parts, and may cause seri-
ous personal injury.
Never carry out work on an engine that is sus-
pended from a hoist.
The engine must not be run in areas where there
are explosive materials or gases.
Only start the engine in a well-ventilated area.
If operating the engine in a closed area ensure
that there is exhaust ventilation leading out of the
work area to remove exhaust gases and crank-
case ventilation emissions.
Never allow an open flame or electric sparks
near the batteries. Never smoke close to the bat-
teries. The batteries give off hydrogen gas during
charging, which can form an explosive mixture
when mixed with air. This gas is easily ignited
and highly flammable. Incorrect connection of
the battery can cause a single spark, which is
sufficient to cause a gas explosion. Do not alter
the battery connections when attempting to start
the engine (spark risk) and do not lean over any
of the batteries. Refer to the instructions in the
Engine Instruction Manual.
Always ensure that the + (positive) and – (nega-
tive) battery leads are correctly installed on their
corresponding terminal posts on the batteries. In-
correct installation can result in serious damage
to the electrical equipment. Refer to the wiring
diagrams in the Engine Instruction Manual.
Always use protective goggles when charging
or handling the engine batteries. The battery
electrolyte fluid contains sulfuric acid which is
highly corrosive. If the battery electrolyte comes
into contact with unprotected skin, wash it off im-
mediately using copious amounts of clean water
and soap, then seek medical assistance. If the
electrolyte fluid comes into contact with the eyes,
flush your eyes immediately (preferable using an
eye bath) with copious amounts of clean water,
and obtain medical assistance without delay.
IMPORTANT! AB Volvo Penta has developed
and tested the complete EVC system and its
components. However, non Volvo Penta compo-
nents or components installed in a way that differ
from the instructions may cause the system to
malfunction. In this case Volvo Penta do not ac-
