In this manual you will also nd detailed instructions of how and how regularly the various com-
ponents of your engine must be serviced. This engine must be used exclusively in accordance with
the prescription given in the General Conditions of Sale and Supply.
In the case of deviating use the manufacturer does not accept any responsibility whatsoever for
resulting damage. This type of risk is to be borne exclusively by the user.
Correct and proper use also implies strictly adhering to the prescriptions of operation, mainte-
nance and repair.
Only such persons, who are acquainted with the operation, the maintenance and the repair of
your engine, and who are fully aware of any danger involved, should be allowed to work at your

Cooling liquid
Prior to commissioning the engine for the rst time, the
inner cooling circuit must be lled with cooling liquid.
In order to do so, the ller cap on top of the heat exchan-
ger housing must be removed.
Alternatively: if and when an expansion tank is tted,
remove the cap on top.
The cooling system must be lled with 6,5 liters of coo-
ling liquid. You can ll the system with a ready-to-use
product, or prepare a mixture of 40% anti-freeze (on the
basis of ethylene-glycol) and 60% of clean tap water.
.
Never ll the cooling system with sea
water! Never ll the cooling system with
sea water!
Fill the system to about 1 cm below the bottom of the
ller pipe. The system will breathe automatically. Do not
forget to put the ller cap in place again and tighten the
breather bolt.
Once the engine being commissioned and having run for
the rst time, verify again the level of the cooling liquid
and top up, if necessary.

Revolution counter / hour counter
The revolution counter indicates the number of the en-
gine’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 4.33 and CM 4.42 marine diesel engines both
have an idling number of revs. of about 840 rpm.
Voltmeter
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 gure must read
between 12 and 14.5 Volt.
Monitoring lights
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
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
when the engine is running, a problem has occurred to
one of the functions described here above.
In that case, stop the engine IMME-
DIATELY!

Check rst
Always check on following points, before starting the
engine:
• Oil level
• Coolant level
• Is the raw water seacock opened?
• Is the main electrical switch ‘on’?
• Is the gearbox lever in the neutral position?
The starting procedure
1. Prior to starting the engine, position the throttle lever
at half of its travel, without engaging the gearbox.
2. Turn the key from the ‘off’ position one step further
to the right, to the ‘on’ position. The monitoring lights
for oil pressure, charging currents and pre-heating
will light up and the buzzer is audible.
3. From the ‘on’ position turn the key one step further
to the right, to the ‘pre-heating’ position. Now only
the pre-heating monitoring light is burning. Keep the
key about 6 seconds in this position (at an ambient
temperature of 15° C or more).
Note:
The time required for pre-heating the engine is de-
termined by the ambient temperature. The lower the
temperature, the longer the pre-heating procedure will
take. At freezing temperature, it may take as long as 20
seconds; and up to 10 seconds at temperatures of up to
7 degrees. Do not pre-heat the engine any longer than 1
minute maximum.
4. The turn the starter key one step further to the right,
to the ‘start’ position and release the key as soon as
the engine springs to life; the key will return auto-
matically to the ‘on’ position, where it will remain
parked as long as the engine is running. Have the
engine running at idling revolutions during a short
period of time, so that the engine will warm-up to
some extent.
Stop the starting procedure if the engine
does not come to life within 10 seconds.
Release the key and wait till the starter
motor has come to a complete stand-still
before giving it another try.
Do not have the starter motor running during more than
30 seconds, in order to avoid damage by overheating.

Monitoring lights oil pressure and battery
charging current
Make sure that the monitoring lights for oil pressure and
charging current are extinguished and that cooling wa-
ter is coming out of the exhaust line. If not so, stop the
engine IMMEDIATELY.
Never turn the electric main switch to
the ‘off’ position when the engine is run-
ning.
Also: do not turn the starter switch to
the ‘start’ position when the engine is
running. This may cause serious damage
to the starter motor.
Electric engine stop
Before stopping the engine, shift the throttle lever back
to its neutral position, place the gearbox lever into the
neutral position and let the engine idle during a few mo-
ments. Turn the starter switch to the far left position of
‘stop’. After a long trip it is recommended to have the
engine idling for a few minutes, before putting it to full
stop.
When the engine has stopped, turn the key one step to
the right, to the ‘off’ position.
Close the seacock of the raw water inlet and turn the
main electrical switch to the off position, if the engine
will not be used during a prolonged period of time.
Manual stop
Should the engine not respond to the stop command by
means of the starter key, keep the black button on top
of the fuel lift pump depressed during a few seconds.
The engine will stop immediately, by lack of fuel supply.
