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".
