Foreword

Volvo Penta marine engines are used all over the world today. They are used in all

possible operating conditions for professional as well as leisure purposes. That’s not

surprising.

After more than 90 years as an engine manufacturer and after delivering over

500,000 marine engines, the Volvo Penta name has become a symbol of reliability,

technical innovation, top of the range performance and long service life. We also be-

lieve that this is what you demand and expect of your Volvo Penta engine.

We would like you to read this operator’s manual thoroughly and consider the advice

we give on running and maintenance before you cast off on your maiden voyage so

that you will be ensured of fulfilling your expectations.

With warm regards

AB VOLVO PENTA

IMPORTANT! These instructions do not contain descriptions of controls or

operation for boats with waterjet. If your boat is equipped with Volvo Penta

waterjet, this information can be found in the operator’s manual that came

with the waterjet.

Safety information

Safety regulations for boat trips

The new boat

Read operator’s manuals and other information ac-

companying the new boat thoroughly. Accustom

yourself with handling the engine, controls and other

equipment in a safe and correct manner.

If this is your first boat or if it is a type you are not

used to, we recommend practising manoeuvring the

boat in a peaceful environment. Learn the sea-going

and manoeuvring characteristics at different speeds

and in varying weather and load conditions before

casting off on your “real” maiden voyage.

Remember that when operating a boat, you have a

legal responsibility to be aware of and follow regula-

tions concerning traffic and safety at sea. Inform

yourself of the regulations that apply to you and your

waters by getting in touch with the relevant authorities

or marine safety organisation.

Attending some kind of boat handling course is a

good idea. We recommend getting in touch with a re-

gional boat or marine safety organisation to help you

locate a suitable course.

Accidents and other incidents

Sea rescue statistics show that deficient maintenance

of boats and engines together with defective safety

equipment often causes accidents and other incidents

at sea.

Make sure your boat and engine are maintained in

accordance with directions in the operator’s manuals

and that the safety equipment on board is in good

working order.

Daily inspection

Make a habit of visually inspecting the engine and en-

gine room before starting (before starting the en-

gine) and after stopping (when the engine has been

turned off). This will help you to quickly detect any

fuel, coolant or oil leaks and any other abnormalities

that have occurred or are about to occur.

Manoeuvring

Avoid violent and rapid rudder movement and gear

shifting. There is a risk of the passengers falling down

or falling overboard.

A rotating propeller can cause serious injury. Make

sure there is nobody in the water before engaging for-

ward/reverse. Never run close to bathers or in places

where you have reason to believe there are people in

the water.

Filling fuel

There is a risk of fire and explosion when filling fuel.

Smoking is prohibited and the engine must be turned

off.

Never overfill the tank. Close the filler cap securely.

Use only fuel recommended in the operator’s manual.

The incorrect grade of fuel can disturb operation or

cause breakdown. This can also lead to the control

rod jamming on diesel engines, which will overrev the

engine and risk damaging machinery and causing

personal injury.

Do not start the engine

Do not start or run the engine with a suspected fuel or

LPG leak in the boat, nor when you are close to or in

a discharge of explosive media, etc. There is risk for

fire and/or explosion in explosive surroundings.

5

Safety information

Carbon monoxide poisoning

When a boat is moving forward, it will cause a certain

vacuum to form behind the boat. In unfortunate cir-

cumstances, the suction from this vacuum can be so

great that the exhaust gases from the boat are drawn

into the cockpit or cabin and cause carbon monoxide

poisoning.

This problem is most prevailant on high, wide boats

with abrupt stern. In certain conditions, however, this

suction can be a problem on other boats, e.g. when

running with the cover up. Other factors that can in-

crease the effect of the suction are wind conditions,

load distribution, swells, trim, open hatches and port-

holes, etc.

Most modern boats, however, are designed in such a

way that this problem is very rare. If suction should

arise anyway, do not open hatches or portholes at the

fore of the boat. Surprisingly, this will otherwise in-

crease the suction. Try changing speed, trim or load

distribution instead. Try taking down/opening or in

any other way changing the setup of the cover as

well. Get in touch with your boat dealer for help in ob-

taining the best solution for your boat.

Remember

Safety equipment: life jackets for everyone on board, communication equipment, distress rockets,

approved fire extinguisher, bandages, life buoy, anchor, paddle, torch, etc.

Spare parts and tools: Impeller, fuel filter, fuses, adhesive tape, hose clips, engine oil, propeller

and tools for tasks it may be necessary to perform.

Plan your desired route from the charts. Calculate distance and fuel consumption. Listen to

weather reports.

Inform relations of your planned route for long trips. Remember to inform of changed plans or de-

lays.

Inform the people on board of where the safety equipment is located and how it works. Make sure

there is more than one person on board that knows how to start and manoeuvre the boat safely.

This list should be supplemented with necessary safety equipment depending on the type of boat,

where and how it is being used, etc. We recommend you get in touch with a regional boat or marine

safety organisation to obtain more detailed marine safety information.

Safety information

Safety directions for maintenance and service

Preparations

Knowledge

The operator’s manual contains directions for per-

forming normal maintenance and service in a safe

and correct manner. Read the directions carefully be-

fore starting work.

More detailed service literature is available from your

Volvo Penta dealer.

Never perform a task unless you are absolutely sure

how it is to be carried out, call your Volvo Penta deal-

er for assistance instead.

Stop the engine

Stop the engine before opening or dismantling the en-

gine hatch/hood. Maintenance and service must be

carried out with the engine stationary unless stated

otherwise in the instructions.

Prevent inadvertent start of the engine by removing

the starter key and turning off the power with the main

switch, locking it in the off position. Place a warning

sign in the driver position stating that service is in

progress.

Working on or approaching a running engine is a

safety hazard. Loose clothing, hair, fingers or a

dropped tool can fasten in rotating parts and cause

serious bodily injury. Volvo Penta recommend leaving

all work requiring the engine to be running to an

authorised Volvo Penta service centre.

Lifting the engine

Always use the lifting eyes mounted on the engine (or

reverse gear) when lifting the engine. Always make

sure lifting equipment is in good condition and con-

structed for the lift (engine weight together with possi-

ble reverse gear and extra equipment). Use an ad-

justable lifting boom to ensure safe handling when lift-

ing the engine. All chains and wires must run parallel

with each other and as much at right-angle as possi-

ble to the top of the engine. Note that any extra equip-

ment mounted on the engine can change the centre

of gravity. Special lifting devices may be required to

obtain the right balance and safe handling. Never per-

form service on an engine suspended only from a lift-

ing device.

Before starting

Refit all guards and covers that have been removed

before starting the engine. Make sure there are no

tools or other objects left on the engine.

A turbocharged engine must never be started without

the air filter fitted. The rotating compressor wheel in

the turbocharger can cause severe personal injury.

There is also a risk of foreign objects being drawn in

and causing mechanical damage.

Fire and explosion

Fuel and lubricants

All fuel, most lubricants and many chemicals are

flammable substances. Always read and follow the di-

rections on the packaging.

Work performed on the fuel system must be done on

a cold engine. Fuel leaks and spills on hot surfaces or

electrical components can cause fires.

Keep oil- and fuel-drenched rags and other hazard-

ous materials where they are safe in case of fire. Oil

drenched rags can self-ignite in certain conditions.

Never smoke when refuelling, topping up with oil or

when in the vicinity of the fuel station or engine room.

Non-original parts

Components in fuel, ignition and electrical systems on

Volvo Penta engines are designed and manufactured

to minimize the risk of explosion and fire in compli-

ance with existing legislation.

The use of non-original parts can result in explosion

or fire.

Batteries

Batteries contain and generate oxyhydrogen gas, es-

pecially when charging. Oxyhydrogen is easily ignited

and extremely explosive.

Smoking, naked flames and sparks must never occur

in or close to the batteries or battery compartment.

A faulty battery connection or jumper cable can gen-

erate sparks which can cause the battery to explode.

Start spray

Never use start spray or similar start help. Explosions

can occur in the intake manifold. Risk for personal in-

jury.

7

Safety information

Hot surfaces and fluids

A hot engine always involves risk for burn injuries.

Take care with hot surfaces. E.g.: exhaust manifold,

turbocharger, oil pan, charge air pipe, starting heater,

hot coolant and warm lubricant in pipes and hoses.

Carbon monoxide poisoning

Start the engine in well ventilated spaces only. When

running in confined spaces, the exhaust gases and

crankcase gases must be evacuated.

Chemicals

Most chemicals such as glycol, anti-corrosion agent,

preservatives, degreasing agent, etc., are hazardous

to health. Always read and follow the directions on

the packaging.

Certain chemicals such as preservatives are flamma-

ble and harmful to inhale. Provide good ventilation

and use breathing protection when spraying. Always

read and follow the directions on the packaging.

Store chemicals and other hazardous materials out of

reach of children. Leave left over or used chemicals

to a destruction plant.

Cooling system

There is a risk of water entering when working on the

seawater system. Therefore, stop the engine and

close the sea cock before starting work.

Avoid opening the coolant filler cap when the engine

is warm. Steam or hot coolant may spurt out and

cause burn injuries.

If the filler cap, coolant pipe, cock, etc., must never-

theless be opened or dismantled while the engine is

warm, the filler cap must be opened carefully to re-

lease the pressure before removing it completely and

starting work. Note that the coolant can still be hot

and cause burn injuries.

Lubricating system

Hot oil can cause burn injuries. Avoid skin contact

with warm oil. Make sure the lubricating system is

depressurised before starting work. Never start or run

the engine with the oil filler cap removed or there will

be a risk of the oil being thrown out.

Fuel system

Always protect your hands when carrying out leak de-

tection. Escaping fluids under pressure can pierce

bodily tissue and cause serious injury. Risk of blood

poisoning.

Always cover the alternator if it is located under the

fuel filter. Fuel spills can damage the alternator.

Electrical system

Turn off the power

Before starting work on the electrical system, the en-

gine must be stopped and the powered turned off with

the main switch/switches. Shore power to the engine

heater, battery charger or other extra equipment fitted

to the engine must be disconnected.

Batteries

Batteries contain a highly corrosive electrolyte. Pro-

tect your eyes, skin and clothing when charging and

handing batteries. Always use protective goggles and

gloves.

In case of splashes on the skin, wash with soap and

plenty of water. In case of splashes in the eyes, rinse

immediately with plenty of water and call a doctor.

Introduction

The operator’s manual has been produced to give you the greatest benefit of your Volvo Penta marine engine. It

contains the information necessary to handle and maintain your engine in a safe and correct manner. We would

like you to read this operator’s manual thoroughly and learn how to handle the engine, controls and other equip-

ment in a safe manner before casting off for your maiden voyage.

Keep the operator’s manual handy at all times. Keep it safe and do not forget to hand it over to the new owner if

you ever sell your boat.

Care of the environment

We would all like to live in a clean and healthy envi-

ronment. Somewhere where we can breathe clean

air, see healthy trees, have clean water in our lakes

and oceans, and are able to enjoy the sunshine with-

out being worried about our health. Unfortunately, this

cannot be taken for granted nowadays but is some-

thing we must work together to achieve.

As a manufacturer of marine engines, Volvo Penta

has a special responsibility, why care of the environ-

ment is a core value in our product development. To-

day, Volvo Penta has a broad range of engines where

progress has been made in reducing exhaust emis-

sions, fuel consumption, engine noise, etc.

We hope you will take care in preserving these quali-

ties. Always follow any advice given in the operator’s

manual concerning fuel grades, operation and main-

tenance and you will avoid causing unnecessary in-

terference to the environment. Get in touch with your

Volvo Penta dealer if you notice any changes such as

increased fuel consumption exhaust smoke.

Adapt speed and distance to avoid wash and noise

disturbing or injuring animal life, moored boats, jetties,

etc. Leave islands and harbours in the same condi-

tion as you want to find them. Remember to always

leave hazardous waste such as waste oil, coolant,

paint and wash residue, flat batteries, etc., for dis-

posal at a destruction plant.

Our joint efforts will make a valuable contribution to

our environment.

Running in

The engine must be “run in” during the first 10 hours

of operation as follows:

Run the engine under normal operation. Do not run it

at full power except for short periods. Never run the

engine for long periods at constant rpm during this

time.

A high consumption of lubricant is normal during the

running in period. Therefore, check the oil level more

often than recommended.

The prescribed warranty inspection “First Service In-

spection” must be carried out during this first period of

operation. For more information: See Warranty and

Service Book.

Fuel and oil

Use only fuel and oil grades as recommended in the

operator’s manual. Other grades can cause opera-

tional problems, increase fuel consumption and have

long-range effects on engine service life.

Always change oil, oil filter and fuel filter according to

prescribed intervals.

Service and spare parts

Volvo Penta marine engines are designed for high

operational reliability and long service life. They are

constructed to withstand the marine environment

while also affecting it as little as possible. Through

regular service and the use of Volvo Penta original

spare parts, these qualities will be retained.

The worldwide Volvo Penta network of authorised

dealers is at your service. They are specialists in

Volvo Penta products and stock accessories, original

spare parts, test equipment and the special tools re-

quired to perform high-quality service and repairs.

Always follow the maintenance intervals specified in

the operator’s manual and remember to specify the

engine/transmission number when ordering service

and spare parts.

Introduction

Certified engines

It is essential that owners and operators of emission

certified engines used in areas where exhaust emis-

sions are regulated by law are aware of the following

points:

A certification involves the engine type being

checked and approved by applicable authorities. En-

gine manufacturers guarantee that all engines of the

same type correspond with the certified engine.

This puts special demands on the maintenance

and service of your engine:

Maintenance and service intervals recommended

by Volvo Penta must be followed.

Only Volvo Penta original spare parts may be

used.

Service of injector pumps, pump settings and in-

jectors must always be performed at an

authorised Volvo Penta workshop.

The engine must not be modified in any way with

the exception of accessories and service kits ap-

proved by Volvo Penta for use on the engine.

Installation modifications must not be made to the

engine exhaust pipe or inlet channels.

Any sealed sections must not be broken by any-

one other than authorised personnel.

Otherwise, the general directions concerning running,

care and maintenance given in the operator’s manual

apply.

IMPORTANT! Neglected or deficient mainte-

nance/service and the use of non-original spare

parts will entail Volvo Penta renouncing any re-

sponsibility for the engine corresponding to the

certified version. Volvo Penta will not compen-

sate for damage and/or costs arising from the

above.

Warranty

Your new Volvo Penta marine engine is covered by a limited warranty complying with the conditions

and instructions given in the Warranty and Service Book.

Note that AB Volvo Penta’s responsibility is limited to what is specified in the Warranty and Service

Book. Read it carefully as soon as possible after delivery. It contains important information concerning

the warranty card, service, maintenance and what the owner is responsible to be aware of, check and

perform. Warranty liability will otherwise be declined completely or fully by AB Volvo Penta.

Get in touch with your Volvo Penta dealer if you have not received a Warranty and Service Book

or a copy of the warranty card.

Presentation

TAMD63L, TAMD63P and TAMD74A are in-line,

direct injection, 6-cylinder, 4-stroke marine diesel

engines. They are equipped with turbocharger and fit-

ted with either a heat exchanger for thermostat-

regulated freshwater cooling or connections for keel

cooling.

The engines are equipped with a seawater cooled

charge air cooler. The charge air cooler lowers the

temperature of the inlet air to the engine after it has

been compressed in the turbocharger. This allows

high power output while keeping combustion and

exhaust temperatures at a suitable level.

The exhaust manifold and turbocharger are fresh-

water cooled to reduce heat radiation to the engine

room.

These engines are equipped with mechanical fuel

control.

F = Reverse gear engaged for moving forwards.

R = Reverse gear engaged for moving backward.

= Engine speed control.

A neutral position switch is available as an accessory that

allows the engine to be started only when the reverse gear

is disengaged.

Controls

This chapter describes the Volvo Penta controls that are available for your engine. If your boat is fitted with con-

trols not described here and you are not sure of their function, please get in touch with your boat dealer.

Disengaging the shifting function

The shifting function can easily be disengaged to that the

lever only affects the engine speed.

1. Put the lever (1) in neutral position (N).

2. Press the button (2) while moving the lever forward.

3. Release the button. The lever now affects the engine

speed only.

The disengagement will cease automatically when the le-

ver is moved back to neutral position.

IMPORTANT! Take care not to engage the reverse

gear unintentionally.

Controls

Friction brake

The control is fitted with an adjustable friction brake for

engine speed control.

1. Remove the cover on the control.

2. Set the lever to half acceleration/reverse.

3. Adjust the friction brake. Turn clockwise for stiffer lever

movement and anticlockwise for lighter movement.

4. Refit the cover.

Dual lever control

Manoeuvring

The dual lever control has separate levers for shifting (1)

and engine speed control (2).

Control A has a mechanic detent so that shifting can be

performed only when the engine speed lever is in idle

speed position. A neutral position switch is available that

allows the engine to be started only when the reverse gear

is disengaged.

Black lever (1):

N = Neutral position. Reverse gear disengaged.

F = Reverse gear engaged for moving forwards.

R = Reverse gear engaged for moving backward.

Red lever (2):

Engine speed control.

Friction brake

The controls are fitted with an adjustable friction brake for

engine speed control.

Adjust the friction brake by turning the screw (control A) or

the lever (control B).

Turn clockwise (+) for stiffer lever movement and

anticlockwise (–) for lighter movement.

Starting the engine

Make a habit of “visually” inspecting the engine and engine room before starting This will help you to quickly de-

tect abnormalities that have occurred or are about to occur. Make sure instruments and warning displays indicate

normal values after starting the engine.

We recommend installing a heater for the engine room to minimize start smoke when cold starting at tempera-

tures below +5

o

C (41

o

F).

WARNING! Never use start spray or similar start help. Risk for explosion!

Measures before start

Open the fuel cock

Open the seawater cock where appropriate

Carry out the measures described in “Daily before first

start” in the maintenance schedule.

Turn on the main switch

IMPORTANT! Never turn the power off using the

main switch while the engine is running. This can

damage the alternator.

Make sure there is enough fuel for the planned trip.

Starting procedure

1. Disengage the reverse gear

Put the control lever into neutral and idle on all control

positions

WARNING! If the boat is equipped with controls

that allow starting the engine in gear, it is essential

to check all control positions to make sure a gear

is not engaged.

Single lever control

Make sure the lever is in neutral position “N”. This

means the accelerator is in idle position and the re-

verse gear is disengaged.

Dual lever control

Put the forward/reverse lever in neutral position to en-

able starting. Move the accelerator all the way back

(idle position).
