When the car has been driven 1500 miles (2500km) it should be taken back to the
workshop for the final guarantee inspection. The servicing procedure shown in the
warranty booklet is then carried out.
After 300 miles (5000km) the car should be given all-round lubrication and the oil in
the engine, transmission and rear axle should be changed. At the same time as the
oil in the engine is changed, new oil cleaner should also be replaced with a new unit.
The transmission and the rear axle should be carefully cleaned out with flushing oil.
Following this mileage, oil changes should be carried out at the intervals shown in the
maintenance scheme on page 16 and in the lubrication chart at the end of this book.
All Volvo engines are test-run before delivery, partly in test benches and partly in
vehicles on test tracks. We have therefore carefully checked that all clearance is
satisfactory and we can thus accept no responsibility for seizing of pistons or
bearings depending on careless running in.
Starting the engine
Cold engine
1. Pull out the choke control the whole
way
2. Depress the clutch pedal
3. Turn the ignition key to the starting
position. Release the key as soon as the
engine starts.
4. Push in the choke control as the
engine warms up. Do not let the engine
run to fast. In order to get the engine to
run evenly when you start driving, it may
sometimes be necessary to pull out the
choke control a little. Use the choke as
little as possible while you are driving. By
the time the engine is fully warmed up,
the choke control should be pushed right
in again.
When the engine is started from cold it is
important to attain the normal working
temperature as quickly as possible in
order to avoid unnecessary cold starting
wear. For this reason, do not run the
engine to long on idling speed, it will
attain its working temperature more
rapidly when it is subject to loading.
