General information
About the Installation Manual
This publication is intended as a guide for the instal-
lation of Volvo Penta EVC system for D4, D6, D9,
D12 and D16 engines, Aquamatic and inboard use.
The publication is not comprehensive and does not
cover every possible installation, but is to be regard-
ed as recommendations and guidelines applying to
Volvo Penta standards. Detailed Installation Instruc-
tions are included in most of the accessory kits.
These recommendations are the result of many years
of practical experience of installations from all over
the world. Departures from recommended proce-
dures etc. can be necessary or desirable, however, in
which case the Volvo Penta organization will be glad
to offer assistance in finding a solution for your par-
ticular installation.
It is the sole responsibility of the installer to ensure
that the installation work is carried out in a satisfac-
tory manner, it is operationally in good order, the ap-
proved materials and accessories are used and the
installation meets all applicable rules and regulations.
This Installation Manual has been published for
professionals and qualified personnel. It is therefore
assumed that persons using this book have basic
knowledge of marine propulsion systems and are
able to carry out related mechanical and electrical
work.
Installation of electrical systems shall only be carried
out by a professional boat electrician.
Only components, cables, connections etc, delivered
or approved by the manufacturer may be used. The
manufacturer will accept no responsibility what so
ever if this requirement is ignored.
Volvo Penta continuously upgrades its products and
reserves the right to make changes. All the informa-
tion contained in this manual is based on product
data available at the time of print. Notification of
any important modifications to the product causing
changes to installation methods after this date will be

Plan installations with care
Great care must be taken in the installation of en-
gines and their components if they are to operate
perfectly. Always make sure that the correct specifica-
tions, drawings and any other data are available be-
fore starting work. This will allow for correct planning
and installation right from the start.
Plan the engine room so that it is easy to carry out
routine service operations involving the replacement
of components. Compare the engine Service Manual
with the original drawings showing the dimensions.
It is very important when installing engines that no
dirt or other foreign matter gets into the fuel, cooling,
intake or turbocharger systems, as this can lead to
faults or engine seizure. For this reason the systems
must be sealed. Clean supply lines and hoses before
connecting them to the engine. Only remove protec-
tive engine plugs when making a connection to an
external system.
Important
Never cut or modifiy the Volvo Penta EVC cable har-
nesses. For extra power supply use the Volvo Penta
relay for accessories.
Refer to the Relay for external accessories section.
Never use any kind of grease in the EVC connectors.
