IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Stop the engine before opening the hatch to the engine compartment. An engine which is in
operation has rotating and moving parts which are dangerous to touch.
Bear in mind the risk of a fire. All engine fuel is inflammable.
The cooling system is filled with liquid and it should be drained when there is risk of frost.
Note that in certain cases a suction action may occur when the seawater system is being
drained. Close all drainage points when the boat is not under constant supervision.
Incorrectly performed drainage can cause the boat to become filled with water and sink.

1. Foreword
1.1 Introduction
This introduction book provides helpful information for running and maintaining your marine diesel
engine.
The contents apply to particular engines specifications. Each engine is supplied from Marine Power
Solutions is in accordance with the published specifications.
Examine your engine and other components to be able to find them in this book. Read this book
carefully before operating the engine. Don’t wait until a problem occurs.
1.2 Safety Notice
The following warning notes will alert you to possible bodily injury dangers and to important
information on safe operation of equipment. Observe them carefully. “Warning” notes alone do not
eliminate the dangers that they signal. Personal close attention of equipment are major accident
prevention measures.
WARNING: You are warned that personal injuries, damage to
Property or malfunction of the engine can result from your not following these instructions.

2. General information
Important information concerning the function to your engine
2.1 Fuel
Users can select the proper grade of fuel according to the local ambient temperature as follows:
ASTM D975No.1-D No.2-D……for USA
EN590:96………………………..for EU
ISO8217DMX……………………international
BS2869-A1 A2……………………for UK
JIS K2204…………………………for JAPAN
Before being filled into the engine fuel tank, the diesel fuel must be settled for a long period (normally at
least 48h). Then draw out the upper part. The fuel should be filtered by silk cloth while filling into the
fuel tank. Also let the fuel settle. It will extend service life of injectors and injection pumps.
2.2 Lubricating Oil
You should use 15W/40 lube oil for every ambient temperature. Filter the oil before filling into the
engine
2.3 Cooling Water
It’s recommended to use soft water for engine cooling system, such as rain water, or city tap water, or
clean river water, also it is necessary to add anti-freeze to the soft water before filling into the engine
when the engine operates in the cold weather. Cooling water containing too much minerals will from
water scale in an engine cooling system, affecting the engine cooling efficiency and giving rise to engine
troubles.
If it’s difficult to start the engine under lower ambient temperature, heat the water to about 80℃before
filling it into the cooling system.
2.4 Running In
A new engine diesel engine requires careful running in during the first 20 working hours. Run the engine
as for normal operations but do not load the engine fully during this period. Unnecessary idling with an
unloaded engine should always be avoided. A greater consumption of lubricating oil during the
running-in period is usual. Check the oil level more often during the running-in period.

2.5 Preparation Before Starting
Before starting engine make sure that:
There is no FUEL LEAKAGE
There is no WATER LEAKAGE
There is no OIL LEAKAGE
There is no SMELL OF LP-GAS in the deep cavities of the boat or elsewhere
The OIL LEVELS are correct
The COOLING WATER LEVEL in the expansion tank for the fresh water system is correct.
The proper NAUTICAL CHARTS are on board for the planed voyage
There is enough FUEL on board for the planed voyage
Make sure when filling your fuel tank that there is no open flame on board. Ventilate the boat and run
the engine room fan (if fitted) for 4 minutes before starting the engine. Do not overfill fuel tank.

4. Running Instructions
4.1 Starting the engine
4.1.1 Switch on the main switch, Start the engine room fan (if fitted) and allow it to run for several
minutes before starting the engine.
4.1.2 Check the fuel cock and bottom sea water cock are in open position. Pump out any water in the
boat with the bilge pump.
4.1.3 Release the throttle control from the gear shift control as follows: press the release button (1) in
when the lever is in the neutral position, and then move the lever slightly forwards. Release the button.
The control lever will now operate the engine speed only.

4.1.4 Cold start: Turn the starter key to position ON. The lamps of REV meter and oil pressure light up.
4.1.5 Press the test button to make sure that the alarm is working.
4.1.6 Turn the starter key to position 1, the solenoid will release the fuel pump.
4.1.7Turn the starter key to position heater and keep for 3 seconds, turn the key to position start, the
start motor will work, release the key when the engine has started. When the engine is running, the key
should be in position 1. Before restarting the engine, return the key to position OFF.
4.1.8 Immediately after starting the engine, check that the oil pressure lamp and
water temperature lamp and that alarm is not sounding, if the alarm is sounding, stop the engine
immediately and investigate the case.
4.1.9 If the engine temperature or oil pressure lamps light up and alarm sounds, either the engine
temperature is too high or the oil pressure is too low, and you should stop the engine and investigate the
case.

4.1.10 The single control lever combines the throttle and gear shift functions.
F= Forward
R= Reverse
N= Neutral
T= Throttle
WARNING! Never change travel direction before the engine has returned to idling speed.
For best results, do not run the engine at maximum revolutions for long periods.
4.1.11 Stop the engine by key switch at once if the alarm sounds and the signal lamps light up.
4.1.12 When under sail, the control lever should be in the neutral position if the propeller is a fixed
propeller. If the propeller is a folding propeller, the control lever should be in the reverse position. Start
the engine and run it for 5 minutes every ten hours when on long-distance cruises.
10
4.1.13 Note: Do not switch off the main switch before the engine has stopped.
4.2 Shutdown Procedure
4.2.1 Before shutting down the engine, it should be allowed to idle for a few minutes, with the control
lever in the neutral position.
4.2.2 Stop the engine by key switch when the engine is idling.
4.2.3 Switch off the main switch. IMPORTANT! The main switch must never be switched off until the
engine has stopped. Close the fuel and cooling water cock during long intervals between using. Before
leaving the boat, check that no leakages have occurred.
