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
unauthorized persons.
Controls
Volvo Penta uses two types of controls, single lever
and dual lever. With single lever controls, both accel-
eration and reverse gear maneuvers are controlled
using one lever, while the dual lever controls have a
separate lever for each function.
The TAMD73P, -74 also have an electric control.
Single lever control:
Volvo Penta single lever controls have functions for
acceleration and reverse gear maneuvers combined
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
maneuvering the boat astern or ahead the control
mechanism in the unit ensures that the engine speed
drops to idle speed at the moment shifting 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 lever control
Lever (1) for reversing maneuvers 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 lever
forwards. The lever can then be used as a throttle control with dis-
engaged reverse gear. Take care not to engage the reverse gear
unintentionally.
The shift function is engaged automatically when the lever is moved
to the Neutral position.
