Volvo Penta Manuals

[Bosn Mate]

Good Afternoon:

I intend to do as much maintenance on my Tug's D4-300 engine and need to order the appropriate manuals. When I go on the Volvo Penta site, I found the following:

Workshop Manuals:
- Workshop Manual D4/D6, Group 30 Electrical System
- Vodia 5 User's Guide
- Workshop Manual D4/D6 (Group 21-26)

Service and Maintenance Manual:
- Service and Maintenance, D4-D6

Can anyone provide a recommendation as to what manuals to purchase to conduct routine maintenance versus completely tearing down/rebuilding the engine which I will never do?

Thanks!

Mike

HI Bosn Mate,

I have all manuals except the Vodia guide since I don't have a Vodia tool.

The Service and Maintenance is the one you are looking for. I think the electrical is beneficial for troubleshooting a problem if an error code shows up. The other one like you mentioned is basically tearing down the engine.

Hope that helps,

John

Ahh....then you would remember that any man can make a rate but only God can make a Boatswain's Mate.

Did you (or anybody else reading this thread) find a place to buy these manuals?

Or, better yet, have them in PDF?

The owner's manual is available (as PDF) on the Volvo Penta web site, but the workshop and service & maintenance manuals are not.

Thanks!
