These safety alerts follow ANSI standard Z535.6‑2006 for product safety information in product manuals, instructions, and other collateral materials. OBSERVE THEM CAREFULLY! These safety alerts alone cannot eliminate the hazards that they signal. Strict compliance to these special instructions when performing the service, plus common sense operation, are major accident prevention measures. ! DANGER Indicates a hazardous situation which, if not avoided, will result in death or serious injury. ! WARNING Indicates a hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result in death or serious injury. ! CAUTION Indicates a hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result in minor or moderate injury.
Page iii Personnel should not work on or under an engine that is suspended. Engines should be attached to work stands, or lowered to ground as soon as possible. Replacement Parts Use of parts other than the recommended service replacement parts, will void the warranty on those parts that are damaged as a result. ! WARNING Avoid fire or explosion hazard. Electrical, ignition, and fuel system components on Mercury Marine products comply with federal and international standards to minimize risk of fire or explosion. Do not use replacement electrical or fuel system components that do not comply with these standards. When servicing the electrical and fuel systems, properly install and tighten all components. Cleanliness And Care Of Product A Cummins MerCruiser Diesel Power Product is a combination of many machined, honed, polished and lapped surfaces with tolerances that are measured in the thousands of a mm/ in. When any product component is serviced, care and cleanliness are important. Throughout this manual, it should be understood that proper cleaning and protection of machined surfaces and friction areas is a part of the repair procedure. This is considered standard shop practice even if not specifically stated. Whenever components are removed for service, they should be retained in order. At the time of installation, they should be installed in the same locations and with the same mating surfaces as when removed.

General Information Page 1A-2 CMD-4082040 / 90-866941 NOVEMBER 2007 Introduction This comprehensive overhaul and repair manual is designed as a service guide for the MerCruiser and Cummins MerCruiser Diesel models listed earlier. It provides specific information, including procedures for disassembly, inspection, assembly and adjustment, to enable dealers and service mechanics to repair these products. Before attempting repairs, read through the procedures to understand the methods and tools used and the cautions and warnings required for safety. How To Use This Manual This manual is divided into sections, which represent major components and systems. Some sections are further divided into parts that more fully describe the component. Refer to the Service Manual Outline following Models Covered in this manual for section titles. Engine Serial Number and Decal Locations Engine Dataplate A tamper‑resistant engine data plate is affixed to the engine at the time of manufacture by Cummins MerCruiser Diesel. It contains important exhaust gas emissions information. Please note that the engine data plate will not affect the fit, function, or performance of the engine and neither boatbuilders nor dealers may remove the engine data plate or the engine component it is affixed to before sale. If modifications are necessary or the engine data plate is damaged contact Cummins MerCruiser Diesel about the availability of a replacement. The owner or operator is not to modify the engine in any manner that would alter the horsepower or allow exhaust gas emission levels to exceed their predetermined factory specifications. 25401 c b a d e f g h i j k Typical engine dataplate a - Engine serial number b - Cummins MerCruiser Diesel model information c - Emissions certification information d - Fuel rate e - Rated operation engine speed f - Governed engine speed g - Minimum idle speed h - Engine power rating i - Engine weight j - Emissions data k - Manufacturer model number, IMO type, liters per cylinder
General Information CMD-4082040 / 90-866941 NOVEMBER 2007 Page 1A-3 Serial Number Decal The serial number decal is located on top of the engine on the aft end of the intercooler. 32623 Serial number and maintenance color code decal Operation—Duty Cycle Duty Cycle Rating IMPORTANT: Damage caused by improper application or failure to operate the power package within the specified operating parameters will not be covered by the Cummins MerCruiser Diesel Limited Warranty. The boat manufacturer or the installing dealer is responsible for ensuring that the power package is applied in accordance with recommendations indicated in the appropriate Cummins MerCruiser Diesel applications manual. In all cases, the power package must be equipped with a gear ratio and propeller that allows the engine to operate at wide open throttle (WOT) at the rated engine RPM. The power package must also be applied Use of Cummins MerCruiser Diesel engines in applications other than those indicated by the following information or the appropriate application manual is not approved. High Output Rating High Output Rating applies to variable load applications where full power is limited to one (1) hour out of every eight (8) hours of operation. Reduced load operation occurs when engine RPM is at least 200 RPM below the engine's maximum rated RPM for applications rated at or below 3000 RPM and at least 400 RPM below the engine's maximum rated RPM for applications rated above 3000 RPM. This rating is for pleasure (non‑revenue generating) applications that operate 500 hours or less per year. Engine Break‑In 20‑Hour Break‑In Period IMPORTANT: The first 20 hours of operation are a break‑in period for the engine. Correct break‑in is essential to obtain minimum oil consumption and maximum engine performance. During this break‑in period, observe the following rules: • Do not operate below 1500 RPM for extended periods of time during the first 10 hours. Advance the throttle above 1500 RPM as soon as conditions permit safe operation. • Do not consistently operate at one speed for extended periods. • Do not exceed 3/4 throttle during the first 10 hours, during the next 10 hours do not operate at full throttle for more than five minutes at a time. • Do not accelerate at full‑throttle from idle speed. • Do not operate at full throttle until the engine reaches normal operating temperature. • High oil consumption is normal during the break‑in period. Frequently check the engine oil level.
