General information
About the service manual
This workshop manual contains technical data, de-
scriptions and repair instructions for the standard
versions of engine units TAMD61A, TAMD62A,
TAMD63L-A, TAMD63P-A, TAMD71A, TAMD71B,
TAMD72A, TAMD72P-A, TAMD72WJ-A.
The workshop manual can show the tasks carried out
on any of the engines noted above. This means that
the illustrations and photographs may not coincide in
some cases with other engines. The repair methods
are essentially similar, however. If this is not the
case, it will be noted. Important differences are noted
separately. Engine designations and engine serial
numbers are noted on the type approval sign (please
refer to page 15). In all correspondence about an en-
gine, the engine designation and serial number must
always be given.
The workshop manual has primarily been prepared for
Volvo Penta’s service workshops and their qualified
personnel. It is therefore assumed that people who
make use of the book have basic knowledge of ma-
rine propulsion systems and can carry out tasks of a
mechanical/electrical nature which are associated with
the trade.
Volvo Penta continually improves its products, which
means that we reserve the right to make changes. All
information contained in this manual is based on prod-
uct data which were available at the time the manual
was sent to press. Any major changes made to the
product or service methods after this time are notified
in the form of service bulletins.
Spare parts
Spare parts for electrical systems and fuel systems
are subject to various national safety requirements,
e.g. US Coast Guard Safety Regulations. Volvo
Penta spare parts meet these requirements. No com-
pensation in respect of Volvo Penta guarantees will be
given for any kind of damage or injury caused by the
use of non-original Volvo Penta spare parts on the
product in question.
Certified engines
On engines which are certified in accordance with na-
tional and regional regulations (e.g. Bodensee), the
manufacturer guarantees that the requirements are
met by both new engines and engines in service. The
product must be equivalent to the sample which was
approved during certification. In order for Volvo Penta,
as a manufacturer, to guarantee that engines in ser-
vice meet the stated environmental requirements, the
following requirements for service and spare parts
must be met:
The service intervals and service tasks recom-
mended by Volvo Penta must be observed.
Only Volvo Penta original parts, intended for the
certified version of the engine, may be used.
Service work related to the ignition system, igni-
tion settings and fuel injection system (petrol
(gasoline)) must always be carried out by an au-
thorised Volvo Penta workshop.
The engine must not be changed or modified in
any way, with the exception of the accessories
and service kits developed by Volvo Penta for the
engine.
Installation changes on exhaust pipes and air in-
let pipes for the engine bay (ventilation ducts)
must not be done without consultation, since this
can affect exhaust emissions.
No seals may be changed by unauthorised per-
sonnel.
IMPORTANT! When spare parts are required,
use Volvo Penta original spares.
The use of non-original spare parts means
that Volvo Penta is no longer responsible for
ensuring that the engine corresponds with
the certified sample.
No compensation in respect of Volvo Penta
guarantees will be given for any kind of damage
or injury caused by the use of non-original Volvo
Penta spare parts on the product in question.
