California to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm.
Breathing diesel engine exhaust exposes you to chemicals known to the State of California
to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm. To minimize exposure, avoid
breathing exhaust when operating, servicing and maintaining the engine.
• Always start and operate the engine in a well-ventilated area.
• If in an enclosed area, vent the exhaust to the outside.

This manual is a supplement to the Operator’s
Manual for D4/D6. The additional material contains
user instructions that apply only to the SOLAS
version of D4/D6.
Read through the instructions in
this manual and in the Operator’s Manual for the D4/

Introduction
Volvo Pentas D4/D6-SOLAS engine is designed
to comply with the requirements applicable to the
directive 2014/90/EU.
In order to fulll the demands of the directive, the
following alterations and additions have been made to
the SOLAS-D4/D6:
1. Alteration: Starter motor draining sealed.
Function: The engine can run even in water up to
the center of the crankshaft.
2. Alteration: A unique sea water pump.
Function: Increased space between sea water
pump housing and impeller, can withstand dry
running for an extended period of time without
damaging the impeller.
3. Alteration: Alternator moved to a higher position.
Function: The engine can run even in water up to
the center of the crankshaft.
4. Alteration: Special impeller kit
Function: Unique material in impeller, can
withstand dry running for an extended period of
time without damaging the impeller
5. 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.
6. Addition: An oil trap has been added between
the CCV seperator and air lter.
Function: The oil trap prevents oil leakage from
the engine if the boat capsizes.
7. Addition: A valve is mounted between the engine
and the crankcase ventilation lter.
Function: The valve prevents oil leakage from the
engine if the boat capsizes.

In case of a safety stop/ tilt-switch deploy-
ment
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.
After an automatic safety stop, the ignition is still
turned on and must therefore be turned o before
attempting to start the engine again.
Follow the starting procedure in the D4/D6 Operator’s
Manual.
1. Turn ignition o.
2. Turn ignition on again.
3. Start the engine.
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
concerning oil, batteries and engine heaters:
Oil
Use an oil with the correct viscosity for the
temperatures that the SOLAS-engine will be used in,
see table.
The correct oil viscosity is stated in chapter "Technical
data" in the D4/D6 Operator’s Manual.
Battery
To manage cold starts, the starter battery shall have a
capacity of:
12 V 2300 CCA
24 V 1150 CCA
Engine heater
To manage cold starts in temperatures below -15°C
(5°F), the engine must be equipped with an engine
heater of at least 2 kW.
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 temperatures.

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 rst.
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 rst 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.

Every 200 hour / 50 dry starts
• Check the tension and condition of the drive belt.
See instructions for check of drive belt in the D4/
D6 Service&Maintenance manual.
Tightening torque SOLAS-D4/D6 (B):
45 ± 5 Nm (33.2 ± 3.7 lbf ft).
The tightening torque diers
from the value given the Service & Maintenance
manual.
• 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.
• Check the condition of the capsizing relay,
solenoid valve and alternator. Also check their
wiring, connectors and terminations. The function
of the capsizing relay is checked by inverting it.
The engine should then stop automatically.
• Drain o any condensation by undoing the seals
on the starter motor drainage (C) Reseal the
drainage again.
• Replace impeller. See instructions for how
to change impeller in the D4/D6 Service &
Maintenance manual.
Every 800 hour / at least once every 4th year:
• Replace drive belt. See the instructions for
replacement of drive belt in the D4/D6 Service &
Maintenance manual.
Tightening torque SOLAS-D4/D6 (B):
45 ± 5 Nm (33.2 ± 3.7 lbf ft)
The tightening torque diers
from the value given the Service & Maintenance
manual.
After use in extreme conditions:
If the engine has been operated
partly submerged in water, a thorough inspection
and cleaning must follow as soon as possible. The
inspection applies even if the water level did not
exceed the crankshaft, as sea conditions may mean
that water washed over the engine. Water, especially
salt water, is particularly damaging to the engine
components.
• Check and clean all outer engine components.
Take special care of the electrical system.
