Maintenance
Service intervals are stated in the D4/D6 Operator's
Manual. The service content can be found in the
Service Protocol available for download at www.
volvopenta.com.
For D4/D6-SOLAS, the additional points must be
followed. When both operating hours and calendar-
based service intervals are given, maintenance is to
be performed at the interval that occurs first.
Before performing any work, read carefully through
the chapter "Maintenance" in the Operator's Manual
for the D4/D6. It contains instructions for correct and
safe working procedures.
After a dry testrun (without seawater):
The impeller in the seawater pump
is designed to rotate in water. At delivery, the inside of
the pump housing is lubricated to protect the impeller
during the first dry start without seawater.
Always use water resistant grease as a lubricant with
dry testruns. Other types of lubricants damage the
impeller.
The impeller must always be greased after running in
water. If the engine has run with seawater - make sure
the impeller is greased before any dry start. If it runs
dry, without grease the impeller will be damaged.
