Changing the oil in the drive
Take out the dipstick (A). The DP-drive should then
be trimmed upwards to the maximum. The DPX
drive should be trimmed (forwards) to the maximum.
Remove the plug from the gear housing and let the
oil run out. If the oil is discolored, contact your VP
service workshop. Refit the plug with its O-ring. A
damaged O-ring should always be replaced. Consi-
der the environment and dispose of the old oil at an
environment protection or service station.
Take off the cover and remove the oil filler plug to-
gether with its O-ring. Top up with fresh oil. For gra-
de and quantity, refer to “Technical Data”. Lower the
drive.
Check the oil level after a while with the dipstick.
The dipstick must not be screwed in when checking
the level. if the level is too high, oil must be drained
off. If too low, oil must be topped up through the
hole for the dipstick.
Check the tightening of the dipstick and bottom
plug. Refit the cover.
Bellows. Replacement
Check the condition on the universal joint and the
exhaust bellows every year. If there are cracks or
other defects they must be replaced. Otherwise re-
place every other year. The drive may need to be
removed from the support fork to replace the bel-
lows. Removal of the drive requires special know-
ledge and tools. If in doubt contact your Volvo
Penta workshop for assistance.
WARNING! Never work on the drive bellows or
hydraulic system without locking the drive in
its raised position so that it cannot fall down. A
falling drive can cause serious personal injury.
DPX: Also remove steering cylinders by removing
pins. Tie up the steering cylinder so that they do not
hang in the way.
