## ⚙️ Key Features

-   2.495 kg
-   11 D series applications
-   Belt drive guard

## 🔌 Function

Shields the belt drive from contact, keeping hands, clothing and loose gear away from the running belts and pulleys.

## ⚠️ Common Signs of Failure

-   Cracks at a mounting hole or along a fold
-   Bright rub marks inside where a belt has touched
-   Drumming or rattling at certain engine speeds
-   Guard distorted so it will not sit clear of the belts
-   Missing or loose fixings letting the guard move

## 🛠️ Service Notes

-   Belt protector 3830160 at 2.268 kg also covers 11 D applications, so the two are only 227 grams apart and cannot be told apart by weight — order by part number; 3830159 is the much lighter 0.549 kg guard for 16 applications
-   Check belt-to-guard clearance all round before running; a guard touching a belt will destroy both
-   This is a guard — do not run the engine with it removed or loose

-   Genuine Volvo Penta part
-   Brand new
-   Supplied in original or equivalent packaging
