FOREWORD

Before you start your new Volvo Penta marine engine, you are advised to read through

this instruction book carefully. It contains all the information you need to run and

service your engine in the best possible way.

Volvo Penta has built up an extensive service organization with service workshops with

specially trained personnel at your service.

Always contact your local Volvo Penta representative for advice and when in need of

service and parts.

We are convinced that the demands on good running economy and top performance,

which you have every right to expect of a quality product, will be met and that your

engine will serve you faithfully on many pleasant cruises.

Warranty Certificate

A warranty certificate is supplied with each new engine. It contains the warranty

conditions for the engine and should be studied carefully.

Included in the warranty certificate is a report card which is to be completed by the

dealer or boat seller and forwarded to Volvo Penta.

However, if our warranty is to apply, it is an absolute condition that the measures given

in the "Check and Service Scheme" are carried out and that your engine and

equipment are looked after according to the instructions in this book. When in doubt,

always get in touch with an authorized Volvo Penta dealer.

In all correspondence with your dealer and when ordering parts, always state the type

and designation and serial number of the engine and reverse gear or drive (see

starboard side of engine).

Make certain that the engine's specification coincides with what is described in this

instruction book.

GENERAL INFORMATION

Important information on the function of your engine.

FUEL Use diesel fuel oil of quality "Autodiesel". Poorer fuel quality

can cause interruptions in operation.

LUBRICATING OIL Use only oil of quality CD (DS) according to the API system.

Volvo Penta oil for diesel engines can be used with advantage

since it meets these quality demands. See under "Technical

Data" concerning the viscosity if any other oil is used.

RUNNING IN A new marine engine must be run-in with due care during the

first 20 hours of operation. If full output is taken out during

this time, it should only be done for short periods.

Oil change. Change the engine oil and oil filter after the engine

has been run for 20 hours. See further under "Checks and Service".

ENGINE SPEED Max speed: MD 11 C, MD 1 7C 41.7 rev/sec (2500 rpm)

For choice of correct propeller, refer to the Volvo Penta propeller diagram. Check the

engine speed with normal load in the boat. In order to utilize the maximum performance

of the engine, an engine speed as high as possible should be chosen but not, however,

higher than 41.7 rev/sec (2500 rpm).

Note: When the boat has been in the water for some time, the speed and max rpm can

drop due to marine growth on the hull. Prevent marine growth by painting the bottom of

the boat with anti-fouling paint. See under "Measures taken when launching".

GENERAL INFORMATION

SAFETY EQUIPMENT

Irrespective of whether the boat is being used for long cruises or short bathing trips, the

boat should be equipped with the safety equipment listed below. It can, of course, be

supplemented further according to personal tastes. Investigate at regular intervals to

ensure that there is safety equipment on board and that it is in working order.

LIFE JACKETS for all on board

FIRE EXTINGUISHER, approved, at least one and installed where it is easy to get at.

DISTRESS ROCKETS and matches. Packed watertight. FIRST AID BOX

TOOLS suitable for the equipment on board ON BOARD KIT containing, e.g. impeller,

etc. ANCHOR with line.

RADAR REFLECTOR

RADIO for listening to e.g. weather reports. COMPASS which is deviated.

BOAT HOOK and PADDLE

MOORING ROPES

FOGHORN and whistle FLOATING ANCHOR TORCH

PREPARATIONS BEFORE STARTING

Make sure that:

There is no FUEL LEAKAGE

There is no WATER LEAKAGE from the engine and hull There is no OIL LEAKAGE

There is no SMELL OF LIP GAS in the deep cavities in the boat or elsewhere The OIL

LEVEL is correct.

There is enough FUEL for the planned voyage.

The proper NAUTICAL CHARTS are on board for the planned voyage.

If there are persons on board who have never been on the boat before, inform them

how the boat functions and where the Life Jackets and Fire Extinguisher are located.

Also inform them of anything more you think necessary from a safety point of view.

Should anything unexpected happen during the voyage, it is often too late to tell those

on board how safety equipment works.

RUNNING INSTRUCTIONS

START THE ENGINE

Switch on the main switch. Start the engine room fan (if fitted) and

let it run several minutes before starting the engine.

Open the cock for cooling water intake.

Disengage the engine speed control from the gear changing as

follows: Move the control lever to neutral, push in the red

disengaging button, and move the lever slightly forwards. Release

the button. The lever can now only operate the engine speed.

Check to make sure that the stop control is pushed in.

Turn the key switch one stage to the right. The warning lamps for

battery charging and oil pressure should now go on. If there is an

alarm system fitted, the siren should sound. Push in and turn the

key further to the right to start the engine. Release the key when

the engine starts.

Handstarter (standard MID11C, extra MD17). When the engine is

started with the starting crank, the de-compression handles on the

rocker arm covers should be raised upright (see 16, pages 31-32).

Return the de-compression handles for running when the cranking

has got the engine up in speed.

Cold weather.

MD11: Starting is facilitated if the cold-start control is pushed down,

or the cold-start control (accessory) is pulled out. The cold-start

button returns automatically. The cold start control must be pushed

in after the engine

has started.

MD 17: The engine has a built-in automatic cold-start device.

Check immediately after starting that the warning lamps for the oil

pressure and battery charging are not lit. If any of the lamps are

alight, the engine must be stopped immediately and the cause

investigated. If an alarm system is fitted (accessory) the siren

should be silent.

Run the engine warm at rapid idle. Check to make sure that the

cooling water flows out with the exhaust gases. Note. The key-

switch should always be switched on as long as the engine is

running to ensure that there is battery charging.

-6-

Reduce to idle and check that the engine is running smoothly.

Engage the control lever for gear-charging as follows:

Push in the red disengaging button when the lever is in neutral.

Release the button. The control lever can now be used both for

gear changing and engine speed.

RUNNING The single lever control has both engine speed and manoeuvering

functions.

F = Forward

R = Reverse

N = Neutral

T = Engine speed control

To achieve good running economy, the engine should not be run

at max speed for a longer period.

Check during running that the temp meter, and also the lamps for

battery charging and low oil pressure are not lit. If an alarm system

is fitted and the siren sounds, -Stop the engine immediately and

investigate the cause.

SHUTDOWN PROCEDURE

Before shutdown the engine should be allowed to idle for a few

minutes with the control lever in neutral.

Stop the engine by pulling the stop control when the engine is

idling. Then turn back the key switch to the initial position.

RUNNING INSTRUCTIONS

Switch off the main switch. NOTE. This switch must never be

switched off before engine has stopped. Close the fuel and cooling

water cocks if the boat is not going to be used for some time.

Check for leakage before leaving the boat.

In cold weather and whenever there is a risk of freezing, the

cooling water must be drained from the engine and reverse gear.

(See pos. 14 and 10, pages 31-32).

TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION

MD 11 C and MD 1 7C, are 2 respectively 3 cylinder, 4 stroke marine diesel engines,

with direct injection and sea water cooling.

ENGINE ASSEMBLY

The crank case, cylinders and cylinder heads are made of cast iron. The engines

have replaceable cylinder liners and overhead valves.

LUBRICATION SYSTEM

The lubrication system has a full-flow oil filter which cleans the oil before it reaches

the lubrication points. The oil pump has a relief valve which prevents the oil pressure

from becoming excessive.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

The engine has a starter motor and an alternator with a built-in rectifier. Voltage

regulation is done by a transistorized regulator mounted on the alternator. The

alternator can charge two batteries, independent of other, if a charging distributor

(accessory) is fitted to the alternator. A main fuse, which can easily be reconnected,

is fixed to the engine. It protects the electrical system from damage in the event of

overloading. The wiring diagrams for the engine and instrument panel are shown on

page 29.
