*The TAMD63 and TAMD72 have no starter element.
Starter keys
The starter keys are tagged with a key code. Use this
code when ordering new keys. Do not keep the tag
on your boat. 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.
An electronic control is also available for use with the
TAMD72P.
Single lever control
Volvo Penta single lever controls have functions for
acceleration and reverse gear manoeuvers com-
bined in one lever. When starting, for example, the
shift function can be easily disengaged so that only
the engine speed (rpm) is affected by the lever.
When manoeuvring the boat astern or ahead the
control mechanism in the unit ensures that the en-
gine speed drops to idle speed at the moment shift-
ing occurs.
The control lever has an adjustable friction brake. A
neutral position switch which only permits the engine
to be started when the reverse gear is disengaged is
available as an accessory.
A double single-lever unit is available for use with
twin engine installations.
VP single control
Lever (1) for reverse gear manoeuvers and controlling engine
speed
Position N – Neutral
From N to F – reverse gear engaged for forward movement
From N to R – reverse gear engaged for reverse movement
T – control of engine speed (rpm)
Disengaging the reverse gear from the control:
Push the button (2) when the lever is in neutral, then push the le-
ver forwards. The lever can then be used as a throttle control with
disengaged reverse gear. Take care not to engage the reverse
gear unintentionally.
The shift function is engaged automatically when the lever is re-
turned to the Neutral position.
