Instruments 1. Rev. counter/Blind plug* There are three types of main panel (A, B and C). The rev. counter shows the engine speed. Multiply the value by 100 to calculate revolutions per minute. Full Standard (alternatives “A” and “B”) throttle: operating range: 3200–3600 r/min. * NB.

11. Pressure switch – instrument lighting 12. Pressure switch – alarm test Controls The Volvo Penta single-lever control combines the throttle and gear shift functions in one lever. When starting, for ex- ample, the gear change function can easily be switched off so only the engine speed is affected by the lever.
Operation Measures to be taken before starting 1. Open the bottom cock for the cooling water intake. 2. Open the fuel cocks. 3. Check that no leakage of water, fuel or oil occurs. 4. Check the level of coolant. The level should be just below the filler neck, or between the MIN and MAX marks on the separate expansion tank (extra).

NB. For maximum fuel economy, avoid running on full The following applies to all engines regardless of the throttle. The maximum cruising speed is the maximum type of instrument panel: speed reached minus approx. 300 r/min. NB: The starter motor must never be switched on When under sail, the control lever should be in the neu- when the engine is running.
Maintenance General description for MD 2010, MD 2020, MD 2030 NB: Stop the engine and cut the power using and MD2040. the main switches before service work is be- gun! Check daily before starting 1. Check the coolant level. Warning! Open the filler cap very carefully if the engine is hot.

Change the belt if it looks worn or is cracked. After changing the belt: Re-check the tension of the belt after about one hour’s running. MD2010, MD2020 MD2030, MD2040 6. Check the level of electrolyte in the battery. Warning! Use protective goggles. The batteries contain oxyhydrogen gas and extremely corrosive sulphuric acid.
