Prior to commissioning the engine
The revolution counter indicates the number of the
engine’s revolutions per minute. When underway, do
not let the engine run at maximum revolutions during a
prolonged period of time. Also, do not have the engine
idling for more than a few minutes and never run the
engine at full throttle, in order to heat it up quickly.
The hour counter indicates the total running time of the
engine in hours.
The CM 4.65 and CM 4.80 marine diesel engines both
have an idling speed of 850 rpm.
The voltmeter shows the voltage of the battery. When
the engine is stopped and the starter switch turned to
‘on’ or ‘pre-heat’ the battery voltage must be about 12
Volt. When the engine is running the figure must read
between 12 and 14.5 Volt.

The instrument panel features six monitoring lights for,
respectively:
1. oil pressure
2. battery charging current
3. temperature inner cooling circuit
4. temperature raw water in the exhaust
5. low oil pressure gearbox
6. pre-heating
These monitoring lights, except the pre-heating
monitor, are connected to a buzzer. If the buzzer
becomes audible (and a monitoring light illuminates)
when the engine is running, a problem has occurred to
one of the functions described here above.
In that case, stop the engine
IMMEDIATELY!
