LAYING-UP AND
LAUNCHING GUIDE
You will find more detailed information in your engine instruction book and our do-it-yourself manuals. Or consult your authorized Volvo Penta dealer, who will be pleased to carry out your servicing and maintenance, if you do not wish to do it yourself. Certain complicated jobs are, of course, best left to an authorized dealer since they call for both specialized knowledge and special tools.
Always use Genuine Volvo Penta Parts. That way you can be confident that the parts you use will be of the right quality and fit perfectly. And make sure you have tools on board and that your on board repair kit is complete.
Remember the environment
– collect any oil, coolant, degreaser, paint, etc., and dispose of them in the proper containers.
There is an instruction manual, providing you with more detailed information, on each particular engine. The time intervals mentioned by us are only general and can vary between different engine types. The operator's manual will give you the proper intervals for your particular engine. However, entirely different intervals apply, if you use the engine for commercial purposes or in very polluted waters.

Choose Volvo Penta engine oil which has good inhibiting qualities and you will not need to add any special inhibiting oil for a normal winter lay-up.
A new oil filter will remove soot and metal particles from the oil and prevent unnecessary engine wear. Genuine Volvo Penta filters are tested and specially designed to suit each particular engine type.
