    The instrument panels used are the main panel, the Flying Bridge (instrument panel for alt. control position) and the auxiliary panel. In addition there is an extra alarm panel. The instrumentation is also supplied separately in sets if Volvo Penta instrument panels are not used. These sets include three smaller panels for starting, stopping and alarm functions.
  • Page 14 Note! This lamp (14) also works as a bulb failure warning sensor for the starter element.* The lamp comes on even when the key switch is in the I posi- tion (operating position) if there is a fault in the starter element (break).

    The code must not be divulged to un- authorized persons. Controls Volvo Penta uses two types of controls, single lever and dual lever. With single lever controls, both accel- eration and reverse gear manoeuvers are controlled using one lever, while the dual lever controls have a separate lever for each function.

Lever for controlling engine speed (rpm) (red handle) Electronic controls (TAMD72P) The Volvo Penta electronic, single-lever control com- bines the functions of a throttle and reverse gear op- eration in one control lever unit. When starting, for example, the shift function can be easily disengaged so that only the engine speed (rpm)* is affected by the lever.

    Control calibration (TAMD72P) NOTE! If calibration is not carried out after instal- lation, the engine cannot be started. Calibrate first at the Master Control Station fol- lowed by the auxiliary control position(s). The Master Control Station is automatically acti- vated when the key switch is turned to position I (operating position).

  • Page 23: Operation

    Operation Before starting Open the cooling water intake’s sea cock. Check that all the drain cocks are closed and all the drain plugs are fitted. For the positioning of cocks/plugs, see the pictures on pages 28 and 29. Open the fuel cocks. Check that no fuel, water or oil is leaking out.

  • Page 24: Starting The Engine

    Starting the engine To keep smoke on starting to a minimum, the TAMD71B is fitted with air preheating (a starter element). This starter element is found in the inlet pipe, and its activation time is controlled by a timer relay. In the TAMD63 and TAMD72 engines no starter element is required since these variants have higher compression, different combustion chambers and a modified injection system.
  • Page 25 Turn the key to position “III” to start (after the indicator lamp has gone out in the case of en- gines with a starter element). Release the key as soon as the engine starts. The key switch has a restart inhibitor. The start- ing procedure must therefore always begin at the “S”...

  • Page 26: Checks During Operation

    Checks during operation The normal operating values are: Coolant temperature Oil pressure, engine System voltage 75–95°C TAMD63: 300–550 kPa approx. 14V (12V), or TAMD71, 72: 420–650 kPa 28V (24V) If the oil pressure drops, the temperature rises above the permitted values or there is a loss of charge, the alarm will sound and one of the warning lamps will start to flash to indicate the source of the malfunction.
  • Page 27 Move the control lever quickly and firmly into reverse, then increase the speed. Note! If the boat has two engines, it is vital that both engines are running, particularly when manoeuvering forwards and backwards. If one engine has not been started and the other is used to reverse, water may enter the stopped engine via the exhaust port and cause serious damage.

  • Page 28: Safety Systems, Tamd72P

    Engagement: 1. Stop engine and remove the key from the key switch. 2. Note how the cables are attached to the reverse gear’s solenoids “P”/“S” (Primary/Secondary). Detach the connectors from both solenoids. 3. Remove the solenoid (1) and the valve body (3) for forward (Ahead) from the reverse gear (nor- mally* the valve where the “Primary”...

  • Page 29: After Operation

    After operation Let the engine idle for a few minutes with the reverse gear in neutral after landing. This will even out the engine temperature and prevent local overheating which may cause the coolant to boil. Turn the key to stop position “S”. Release the key when the engine has stopped (key will spring back automatically into the 0 position).

  • Page 30: When There Is A Danger Of Freezing

    Action when there is a risk of freezing Check the antifreeze in the freshwater system after the engine has stopped if there is a risk of freezing. See under the heading. “Coolant” on page 20. Drain the water from the seawater system as described below. Check that all the water has drained out. Check the batteries as described on page 67.

  • Page 32: Maintenance And Care Periodic Care And Maintenance

    Maintenance Periodic maintenance If your engine and its fittings are to function reliably, periodic maintenance in accordance with the maintenance schedule is required. Several of the items deal with the replacement of consumables such as oil filters, fuel fil- ters, etc. To ensure continued trouble-free use of your engine, it is important always to use original spares.

    Maintenance schedule The description applies generally for all engines unless otherwise stated. If longer oil change intervals are required than those stated below the oil’s condition All operations in the maintenance schedule with the exception of points 17 and 32 must must be tested regularly by the oil manufacturer.

  • Page 41: Technical Description

    Technical description Engine These engines are four-stroke, straight six marine diesel engines with overhead valves. They are fluid-cooled and equipped with turbochargers. The inlet air to the engine is cooled by a seawater-cooled charge air cooler (CAC) after compression in the turbo (TAMD71 and TAMD72 have double charge air coolers). The engines have piston cooling* (oil-cooled pistons).
  • Page 42 Timing gears The camshaft, oil pump, injection pump, circulation pump (TAMD71 and TAMD72), seawater pump and hydraulic pump (if fitted) are driven by the crankshaft via helical spur gears.

  • Page 49: Fuel System

    Technical description Fuel system The fuel is drawn up by the feed pump from the fuel tank through the pre-filter(s) and is forced through the fine filters to the injection pump. Excess fuel escapes via the overflow valve back to the tank. This valve is located on the injection pump.

  • Page 54: Cooling System

    Technical description Cooling system These engines are fluid-cooled and have a closed circuit cooling system. The system has two circuits. In the in- ner circuit (the freshwater system), coolant is pumped around by a centrifugal-type coolant pump (circulation pump). In the TAMD63, this pump is driven by the vibration damper via a belt. In other engines, the coolant pump is gear-wheel driven via the timing gears.
