For the TAMD73P and TAMD74C/L/P there is also an EDC control 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.

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 start- er element (break).

The flashing red lamp indicates that the control station has a fault (uncalibrated controls, a con- trol or controls not in neutral position (neutral and idle position for double controls), fault on potenti- ACTIVE ometer).

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

Operation Before starting Note: To reduce exhaust emissions to a minimum ±0 during cold starts Volvo Penta recommends that a –5 °F °C heater is installed to heat the engine room when temperatures fall below +5°C (41°F). Open the cooling water intake sea cock.
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. On the TAMD63, TAMD73 and TAMD74, which all have higher compression, different combustion chambers and a modified in- jection system, a starter element is not required.
Page 26
Turn the key to position “III” to start* the engine (after the indicator lamp has gone out in the case of engines with a starter element). Release the key as soon as the engine starts. * NOTE! The key switch has a restart inhibitor. Always start repeated start attempts from position “S”...
Checks during operation Check instruments. Normal operating values are: Engine coolant temperature Oil pressure, engine System voltage 75–95°C TAMD63: 300–550 kPa approx. 14V (12V) or (167–203°F) TAMD71, -73, -74: 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 28
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 maneuvering 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 29
Note. The following equipment shown can be obtained only for propulsion engines in working boats. Trolling valve (Twin Disc MG507-1 and MG507A-1) If the reverse gear has a trolling valve (accessory), this should be used when the boat is to move very slowly.
After operation Let the engine idle for a few minutes with the re- verse 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).
Safety systems (TAMD73P and TAMD74) Emergency operation of the engine IMPORTANT! The engines are equipped with an emergency op- eration function (“Limp-home”). The function en- gages automatically and makes it possible to continue running the engine and reach harbour if communication between the control and the en- gine is broken.

Precautions against 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 94. Drain the water from the seawater system as described below. Check that all the water has drained out. Check batteries in accordance with instructions on page 72.

Maintenance and care 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 points below cover the replacement of consumables such as oil and fuel fil- ters etc.
Maintenance schedule The description applies generally for all engines unless otherwise stated. If longer intervals are required than those stated below the oil’s condition must be tested All operations below with the exception of points 17, 21 and 32 must be carried out at least regularly by the oil manufacturer.

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. The engines have piston cooling (oil-cooled pistons).
Page 46
Timing gears The camshaft, oil pump, injection pump, circulation pump (TAMD71), seawater pump and hydraulic pump (if fitted) are driven by the crankshaft via helical spur gears. Helical spur gear wheels are used in order to keep engine noise to a minimum.

Technical description Lubrication system These engines have a forced lubrication system and piston cooling (see “Pistons” on page 43). The oil pump is of the gear-wheel type and is located at the front of the oil sump. This pump is driven by the engine’s timing gears.

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.

Technical description Cooling system These engines are fluid-cooled and have a closed circuit cooling system. The system has two circuits. In the inner circuit (the freshwater system), coolant is pumped around by a centrifugal-type coolant pump (circulation pump). In the TAMD63, TAMD73 and TAMD74, this pump is driven by the vibration damper via a belt. On the TAMD71 engines, the coolant pump is gear driven via the timing gears.
