Introduction
Volvo Pentas D4/D6-SOLAS engine is designed and
certied to fulll the demands made on marine safety
equipment according to directive 96/98/EG.
In order to fulll the demands of the directive, the fol-
lowing alterations and additions have been made to
the SOLAS-D4/D6 (see also gure below):
1. Alteration: Alternator moved to a higher position.
Function: The engine can run even in water up to
the center of the crankshaft.
2. Alteration: Starter motor draining sealed.
Function: The engine can run even in water up to
the center of the crankshaft.
3. Addition: A capsizing relay is mounted in the boat
and is connected to the engine's electrical system.
Function: The engine stops automatically if the
boat capsizes.
4. Addition: A solenoid valve is mounted between the
engine and the crankcase ventilation lter.
Function: The solenoid valve prevents oil leakage
from the engine if the boat capsizes.

Instructions in case of a safety stop
If the engine has stopped automatically due to the
boat capsizing, it can be restarted again once the
boat's position in the water has stabilized. Follow the
starting procedure in the D4/D6 instruction book.
IMPORTANT! After an automatic safety stop,
the ignition is still turned on and must therefore
be turned off before attempting to start the en-
gine again.
Special demands for engine operation in
cold climates
To guarantee safe starting of the SOLAS-D4/D6 in
cold climates, it is the boat owner's responsibility to
ensure that the following demands are fullled con-
cerning oil, batteries and engine heaters:
Oil
Use an oil with the correct viscosity for the tempera-
tures that the SOLAS-engine will be used in. See
table. See also instructions for the correct oil grade in
chapter "technical data" in the D4/D6 instruction book.
Battery
To manage cold starts, the starter battery shall have a
capacity of:
For D4 - At least, 1150 CCA
For D6 - At least, 2300 CCA
Engine heater:
In order to manage cold starts in temperatures below
-15°C (5°F), the engine must be equipped with an en-
gine heater of at least 2 kW.
IMPORTANT! Read the user instructions from
the supplier of the engine heater carefully before
you use your SOLAS-engine in a cold climate.
Viscosity (Refers to synthetic or semi-synthetic oils)
Notice: The temperature values refer to stable ambient tem-
peratures.
Turn off the ignition after an
automatic safety stop!

Maintenance
The same maintenace requirement applies to the D4/
D6-SOLAS as is stated in the operator’s manual for
the D4/D6, with the addition of the following points.
WARNING! 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 proce-
dures.
IMPORTANT! When both operating hours and
calendar-based service intervals are given,
maintenance shall be performed at the interval
that occurs rst.
After a dry test run:
IMPORTANT! The impeller in the sea-water
pump is designed to rotate in water. At delivery,
the inside of the pump housing is lubricated with
glycerin to protect the impeller during the rst dry
start. The impeller will be damaged if it runs dry.
Glycerin should be used as a lubricant with dry
test runs.
The impeller will be damaged if other types of
lubricant than glycerin are used.
WARNING! If the impeller is damaged, the pump
will not work, which can lead to engine damage
or re.
● Check the impeller (see gure A) after dry test
runs and starts have been performed for more
than totally:
- 30 minutes (applies if the pump housing is
lubricated with glycerin)
- 5 minutes (applies if the pump housing is dry)
If the impeller is cracked or damaged it must be
replaced. See instructions for replacement of im-
peller in the operator’s manual for D4/D6.
Every 200th hour / At least once per year:
● Check the tension and condition of the drive belt.
See instructions for check of drive belt in the in-
struction book for D4/D6.
IMPORTANT! The tightening torque differs from
the value given the operator’s manual for D4/D6.
Tightening torque for SOLAS-D4/D6 is 45 ± 5
Nm (33.2 ± 3.7 lbf ft). Please refer to gure B.
● Check the condition of the hose connections on
the solenoid valve. Tighten the hose clamps.
● Check the condition of the seals on the starter
motor drainage.
