Engine Identification
NOTE: In all communications with thedistributor or Beta Marine, the W.O.C. and engine number must be quoted.
Beta 28, Beta 35 and Beta 38
The engine serial number is stamped above starter motor onthe port side of the engine, and is shown on the rocker coverlabel.
Initial Receipt of the Engine
A full inspection of the engine must be made immediatelyon delivery to confirm that there is no damage. If there isany damage then write this clearly on the delivery note andinform your dealer or Beta Marine within 24 hours. Aphotograph would always help.
Engine Storage
The engine must be stored in a dry, frost free area and this isbest done in its packing case. If storage is to be more thansix months then the engine must be inhibited (contact yourdealer or Beta Marine). Failure to inhibit the engine mayresult in the formation of rust in the injection system and theengine bores, this could invalidate the warranty.

A Keep the engine, gearbox and surrounding area clean,including the area immediately below the engine
B Drives - Power Take Off Areas
i) Gearbox Output Flange
The purpose of a marine diesel propulsion engine is toprovide motive power to propel a vessel. Accordingly thegearbox output shaft rotates at between 300 and 3600rev/min. This flange is designed to be coupled to apropeller shaft by the installer and steps must be taken toensure adequate guarding.
ii) Forward End Drive
Engines are supplied with unguarded belt drives to powerthe fresh water pump and battery charging alternator. The installer must ensure that it is not possible for injuryto occur by allowing access to this area of the engine.The three pulleys run at high speed and can cause injuryif personnel or clothing come in contact with the belts orpulleys, when the engine is running.
iii) Power Take Off Shaft (Engine Mounted Option)
Shaft extensions are available as an option and rotate atbetween 850 and 3600 rev/min. If contact is made withthis shaft when the engine is running, injury can occur.
C Exhaust Outlet
Diesel marine propulsion engines emit exhaust gases atvery high temperatures - around 400 - 500°C. Enginesare supplied with either wet exhaust outlet (waterinjection bend) or dry outlet (dry exhaust stub) - seeoption list. At the outlet next to the heat exchanger /header tank, the exhaust outlet can become very hot andif touched, can injure. This must be lagged or avoided byensuring adequate guarding. It is the responsibility of theinstaller to lag the exhaust system if a dry system is used.Exhaust gases are harmful if ingested, the installer musttherefore ensure that exhaust lines are led overboard andthat leakage in the vessel does not occur.
D Fuel
i) Fuel Lines
Diesel engines are equipped with high pressure fuelinjection pumps, if leakages occur, or if pipes fracture,fuel at a high pressure can harm personnel. Skin must bethoroughly cleaned in the event of contact with dieselfuel.
ii) Fuel Supply Connections
Engines are supplied with 8mm compression fittings. Theinstaller must ensure that when connections are made,they are clean and free of leaks.
E Oil
The Beta propulsion unit is supplied with 2 dipsticks, onefor the engine and one for the gearbox. Ensure dipsticksare returned and secure after checking, if not oil leaks cancause infection when touched. All oil must be removedfrom the skin to prevent infection.
F Scalding
An engine running under load will have a closed circuitfresh water temperature of 85° to 95°C. The pressurecap on the top of the heat exchanger must not beremoved when the engine is running. It can only beremoved when the engine is stopped and has cooleddown.
G Transportation / Lifting
Engines are supplied on transportable pallets. Lifting eyeson engines are used for lifting engine and gearboxassembly only, not the pallet and associated kit.
GENERAL DECLARATION
This machinery is not intended to be put into service until ithas been incorporated into or with other machinery. It is theresponsibility of the purchaser / installer / owner, to ensurethat the machinery is properly guarded and that all necessaryhealth and safety requirements, in accordance with the lawsof the relevant country, are met before it is put into service.

Installation Recommendations
The installation details are basic guidelines to assist installation, however due to the great diversity of marine craft it isimpossible to give definitive instructions. Therefore Beta Marine can accept no responsibility for any damage or injury incurredduring the installation of a Beta Marine Engine whilst following these guidelines.
Engine Mounting
To ensure vibration free operation, the engine must beinstalled and correctly aligned on substantial beds, extendingas far forward and aft as possible, well braced and securelyfastened to form an integral part of the hull.
The engine must be installed as low as possible on theflexible mount pillar stud. This will limit vibration and extendthe life of the flexible mount. To assist with enginereplacement we offer ‘Special Engine Feet’ manufactured toyour dimensions, as an optional extra to suit your existingengine bearers and shaft alignment/installation.
Warning
(1) Do not set the engine feet high up the flexible mountpillar stud. This will cause excessive engine movementand vibration. Pack under the flexible mount with steelshims securely bolted into the engine bearer.
(2) The pillar stud on the flexible mount is secured intoposition by the lower locknut, do not forget to tightenthis. Also ensure that the stud is not screwed too farthrough the mounting body so that it can touch thebearer. This will cause vibration and knocking noiseswhich are very hard to find!
Section 1
Flexible Output Couplings
A flexible coupling should be mounted on the gearbox outputflange and is strongly recommended in almost every case.
Flexible couplings do not accommodate bad alignment, theyare designed to absorb torsional vibrations from the propeller(transmitted along the propeller shaft).
3
• All engines shall be placed within an enclosure separatedfrom living quarters and installed so as to minimise therisk of fires or spread of fires as well as hazards from toxicfumes, heat, noise or vibrations in the living quarters.
• Unless the engine is protected by a cover or its ownenclosure, exposed moving or hot parts of the engine thatcould cause personal injury shall be effectively shielded.
• Engine parts and accessories that require frequentinspection and / or servicing must be readily accessible.
• The insulating materials inside engine spaces shall benon-combustible.
• The engine compartment must be adequately ventilatedas the engine will produce radiated heat - approximatelyequal to 1/3 of the engine output power.
Also the battery charging alternator(s) create lots of heat.
Ventilation is normally best with two holes; an inlet of atleast 200 cm2 allowing colder air to enter near to thealternator and drive belts and a second outlet (a thirdbigger than the inlet) for the hot air to rise and ventilateout from the opposite side of the top of the enginecompartment.
In yachts we strongly recommend forced ventilation -using an extractor fan to draw out the hot air and limitthe engine compartment /room temperature to amaximum of 60 °C. You can check the temperature inthe engine compartment with a thermometer - the coolerthe better - maximum temperature 60 °C; this is bestdone on a hot sunny day. (A symptom of overheatingproblems is black belt dust).

Alignment
To obtain accurate alignment the flexible mountings must beadjusted until alignment is attained, and the mountings mustbe locked in position.
The engine/gearbox unit has to be aligned with the propellershaft in two ways. The traditional engine alignment methodinvolves measuring with either feeler gauges or a DTI (DialTest Indicator) mounted on a magnetic foot so that they arealigned within 0.125mm (0.005”).
The engine mountings and the couplings must now be tightened in position and the alignment re-checked.

Engine Installation at an Angle
Beta Marine propulsion engines can be installed at angles upto a maximum of 15° flywheel up or flywheel down whenstatic, or can be run at up to 25° when heeling. When ourengines are installed at varying angles of inclination thenormal markings on the dipstick should be disregarded.
It is probably better to totally drain the lubricating oil from thesump, replacing the oil filter with a new one; then add therecommended amount of lubricating oil – noting its positionon the dipstick – and then marking the dipstick. If in doubtask Beta Marine.

Exhausts(a) An engine correctly installed in accordance with this
handbook will meet the emission requirements of theRCD (see back of manual).
(b) Keep dry exhaust systems to a minimum length and haveswept bends (NOT right angle elbows). Exhaust backpressure is increased by longer exhaust length and sharpbends.
Back pressure should be measured; with the completeexhaust system connected and the engine running at fullspeed; and should NOT exceed: 80mm Hg (3.15 inchesHg) at 3,600 rev/min or 70 mm Hg (2.75 inches Hg) at3,000 rev/min. The correct measuring point is before theinjection bend (at the manifold flange). Wet Exhaust hoseshould be matched to the injection bend sizes detailedbelow.

Engine Connections
Actual Connector: Required Pipe Size:
Fuel supply and fuel leak-off connections are 8 mm OD piping for both, a flexible section 8 mm conex with olives is required
Seawater cooling pump connections are 22 mm OD Sea water pump inlet = 22 mm ID hose
Exhaust water injection bend is 50 mm OD Flexible exhaust rubber pipe to correct quality = 50 mm ID hose
Typical Yacht Exhaust Installation
Warning
(1) One of the most common problems with engineinstallations (and possibly expensive), is water enteringthe engine exhaust manifold from the exhaust system bysyphoning when the engine is switched off. This canoccur when the point of water injection "X" on the engineis close to or below the water line. Water entering thepistons can cause bent con rods, emulsified engine oiland a wrecked fuel pump! It’s best avoided!
(2) This diagram shows a typical exhaust installation. Therubber hose connecting the heat exchanger to theinjection bend must be replaced by a hose (a) ofsufficient length, connecting to a "T" piece or anti-syphonvalve that is above the maximum seawater level whenheeled (at least 30 cms / 12 inches above the water line)on the centre line of the boat. The pipe then returns tothe injection bend and the seawater is pumped down theexhaust pipe.
(3) The exhaust back pressure should NOT exceed: 80mmHg (3.15 inches Hg) at 3,600 rev/min or 70 mm Hg(2.75 inches Hg) at 3,000 rev/min.

Notes:
1) A fuel/water separator must be installed.
2) The mechanical fuel lift pump is fitted to all engines asstandard, but if a suction head of 0.25m or more isrequired, then an electric fuel lift pump must be fitted(ask your dealer or Beta Marine).
3) It is very important that the excess fuel from the injectorsis fed back to the fuel tank and not back to any point inthe supply line. This will help prevent air getting into thesystem.
4) The fuel return (leak off) pipe must loop down to be levelwith the bottom of the tank before it enters the top of thetank – see drawing. This prevents fuel ‘drain down’.
5) Fuel lines and hoses connecting the fuel tank to theengine, must be secured, separated and protected fromany source of significant heat. The filling, storage,venting, fuel supply arrangements and installation mustbe designed and installed so as to minimise the risk offire. When connecting the engine to the fuel supply andreturn lines, flexible fuel hoses must be used (next to theengine) and must meet the requirements set in standardISO7840:1995/A1:2000 and/or as required by yoursurveyor / authority.
6) Any fuel leaks in the system when static are likely tocause poor starting and erratic running and must becorrected immediately. These leaks will allow air to besucked in when the engine is running.
Vent
Seawater Inlet System(Heat exchanger Cooled Engines)
Your engine is fitted with a gear driven sea water pumpwhich sucks in seawater (raw water) to cool the closed circuitsystem via the heat exchanger.
1. It is very important that the seawater inlet should have a strainer system either built into the sea cock or a highlevel system with visual inspection glass (as shown)mounted just above the water line.
2. The inlet sea cock and pipe work to the sea water pumpshould be 25 mm ID or 1” minimum.
1640.qxd:beta 1660 manual 30/6/09 12:22 Page 10
Calorifier SystemAll Beta engines can be fitted with the calorifier connections to allowthe hot water from the closed fresh water / antifreeze system tocirculate through a calorifier tank, which in turn heats up domesticwater. Calorifier connections on this range of engine are shown.
1. The big problem with a calorifier is to remove all the air fromthe system. If this is not achieved then they don’t work!
2. Try and keep the supply and return pipes either horizontal orsloping down in a continuous fall towards the calorifier. Thisavoids air pockets being created.
3. Extra care must be taken when first filling the calorifier circuitsystem with 50% antifreeze to water solution as the enginemay appear to be full but it soon disappears into the calorifierpipe work. Run the engine off load for 10 minutes then checkthe level as described in ‘Filling The Fresh Water System’. Alsocheck to see if the pipe going to the calorifier is getting warmafter 15 minutes. Top up the water level as required and run foranother ten minutes then repeat.
4. If the water level is steady but no warm water is getting to theCalorifier (then with engine stopped) very carefully remove thepressure/filter cap using a large rag/cloth to protect you handfrom scalding. Now very carefully open the Calorifier bleed valve(see manufacturers instructions) or if none is provided then verycarefully loosen the jubilee clip securing the supply pipe to theCalorifier. Air should escape. Refasten securely when no furtherbubbles are seen. Caution: Do not do this when the engine ishot as scalding hot water may be forced out of the pipe.

3. Good access to the inlet sea cock is essential so thatplastic bags or seaweed trapped in the intake can bepoked out
4. All pipe work should have approved marine gradestainless steel hose clips. Any loose clamps or badconnections can cause flooding and sinking of the vessel.
5. If water is required for stern tube lubrication then thisshould be taken from a ‘T’ piece in the pipe going fromthe heat exchanger outlet to the water injection bend.
6. Scoop type water pickups should never be used, as waterwill be forced through the pump and into the exhaustsystem whilst the vessel is in motion. This is verydangerous as the exhaust will eventually fill and sea/rawwater will back up into the engine through the exhaustvalve. Catastrophic failure will result as soon as theengine is restarted. Note: The maximum lift of the seawater pump is 2m when primed.

Electrical Installations
Beta Marine has 6 control panels: A, AB, ABV, ABVW B or C.
The Beta 28, Beta 35 and Beta 38, use the ABV, ABVW, Band C control panels.
The engine harness is common to all.
1. These control panels must not be installed where seawater spray can get at them. A suitable flap or cover must be fitted.
2. Control Panels must be fitted in a location where thehelmsman can either see or hear the alarm system.
3. For standard wiring diagrams, see back of manual.
4. Our standard wiring harness has a 3 metre loom. As an optional extra, Beta can provide various lengths ofextension looms for runs of over 3m, but this kit includesa start relay to overcome the voltage drop (See drawing300-58520).
5. All electrical equipment must be protected from sea water.Sea water or rust in the starter will invalidate thewarranty. Care must be taken when pushing the twohalves of the plug together to ensure that individual pinsdo not fall out.
To prevent corrosion and assist in assembly werecommend that the plug is packed with petroleum jelly(Vaseline) and then carefully pushed together. The plasticboots should cover both halves and overlap. A cable tie isthen put around to hold the two halves in position andhelp prevent any ingress of water.
6. All cables must be adequately clipped and protected fromabrasion.
7. Electrical systems shall be designed and installed so as toensure proper operation of the craft under normalconditions of use and shall be such as to minimise risk offire and electric shock.
8. Attention shall be paid to the provision of overload andshort circuit protection of all circuits; except enginestarting circuits, supplied from batteries.
9. Ventilation shall be provided to prevent the accumulationof gases, which might be emitted from batteries. Batteriesshall be firmly secured and protected from ingress ofwater.
Typical Starter Motor Ratings
Starters used in Kobuta engines have the followingstandard capacities:

Beta 75, Beta 90 150 - 180 AH 1050 - 1200
Keyswitch Terminations
The standard panel keyswitch can be used to tap off aswitched positive ignition feed to power additional gauges. Inthis way these gauges will only be live whilst the engine isrunning, the engine is starting or the heaters are being used.For silver keyswitches, the terminal to achieve this ignitionswitched positive is marked ‘AC’. For black keyswitches, theterminal to achieve this ignition switched positive is marked‘15/54’. For panels without any keyswitch, gauges can bedriven from the 1 mm2 brown wire which terminates at 11 way connector terminal 4. This is a lower power switchedpositive, any additional power required from this connectionmust be feed through a relay, as noted below.
Note: these keyswitch terminals are rated at 10 ampsmaximum, since they are already utilised for panel andalternator feeds Beta Marine recommend any additionalrequirements from these terminals must be fed through arelay. This relay should then be connected to it’s own fusedpositive supply directly from the engine battery. Beta drawing202-06421 illustrating the wiring of a typical electric fuel liftpump with ignition switched relay is included in this manual.

Guidelines for Operation of EngineImportant Checks Prior to Initial Use
1. Generally, a new engine has the oil and anti-freezeremoved after the works test. Fill the engine with thecorrect oil and antifreeze (see sections on Engine oil andCooling). Check gearbox oil level - see gearbox ‘OwnersHand Book’.
2. Ensure the engine is free to turn without obstructions.
3. Ensure battery is fully charged and connected with thebattery isolator in the ‘ON’ position.
4. Ensure "Morse" speed and gearbox cables are fittedcorrectly and that cable travel lengths are correct. Gearselection lever - all mechanical gearboxes: care must betaken to ensure that the remote control cable is adjustedso that the selector lever on the gearbox moves full traveland is brought "hard up" against its end stop in bothdirections. Failure to achieve the correct adjustment willreduce efficiency of the clutch and may cause slippage atlow revs. Warranty will not be accepted on gearboxesreturned in the warranty period for failure due to incorrectadjustment.
5. Open the sea water cock - carefully checking there are nowater leaks.
6. Bleeding the fuel system for initial start up.
a) The fuel system must have all the trapped air carefully‘bled’ out; starting at the fuel tank and progressivelyworking through to: the fuel/water trap, the fuel filter, to the fuel injection pump.
b) Open the fuel tank stop tap / valve and then bleed thefuel/water separator of air as shown in manufacturer’sliterature.
c) Fuel should now arrive at the fuel lift pump.
d) Open the fuel bleed screw on top of the fuel filter by 1 to 2 turns, see photo 12.
e) Move the hand priming lever on fuel lift pump up anddown (photo 11) until fuel with “no bubbles” comes outof the fuel filter bleed screw (photo 12). The handpriming lever normally has about 90° travel; but thecamshaft lobe may block this travel requiring you to rotatethe engine to obtain full travel.
f) Shut / tighten the bleed screw.
g) Open the bleed screw on the fuel injection pump andagain ‘bleed’ through to the injection pump. Continue tohand prime for 30 seconds to push fuel and anyremaining air through the fuel pump. Clean all areasthoroughly of fuel with tissue paper.
7. Ensure engine is out of gear and set to 1/3 throttle - see "single lever control" instructions/manual.
8. Start engine (see normal starting). Note the engine mayhave to be turned over with the starter for a few secondsbefore it fires. Do not run the starter for more than 20seconds. If the engine has not started after 20 secondsthere is probably still air in the fuel system; disengage thestarter and continue to hand prime the engine with thefuel lift pump lever for a further 30 seconds, then repeat.If engine does not start after 3 attempts then allow 5minutes for the starter to cool down before repeating 6 (c)to 8. Note: The starter motor windings can be burnt outwith continuous cranking.

Caution. To avoid personal injury:
• Do not try to start the engine until you know how to stop the engine.
• Do not bleed a hot engine as this could cause fuel to spill onto a hot exhaust manifold creating a dangerof fire.
• Do not mix petrol/gasoline or alcohol with diesel fuel. This mixture can cause an explosion.
• Do not get diesel fuel or oil on the flexible mounts - they will deteriorate rapidly if soaked in these.
• All fuel must be removed from skin to preventinfection.
1640.qxd:beta 1660 manual 30/6/09 12:23 Page 13
To operate the engine: with the engine out of gear, set speedcontrol lever to 1/3 throttle.
1) Turn key anti-clockwise to ‘HEAT’ position and hold forten seconds.
2) Turn key clockwise to ‘RUN’ position. At this stage theinstrument panel should illuminate:
• Green lamp for panel ‘power on’ should illuminate.
• Buzzer should sound.
• Red lamp for ‘low oil pressure’ should illuminate.
• Red lamp for ‘high engine temperature’ should not
illuminate (when engine is cold / cool / warm). This lamp
will only ever illuminate if the engine is over temperature.
• Red lamp for ‘no starter battery charge’ should illuminate.
• Red lamp for ‘no domestic battery charge’. Only fitted with
panels AB and C and will illuminate only if 2nd ‘domestic’
alternator is fitted.
3) Turn to ‘START’ position and engine will motor, hold inposition until engine fires (see initial start-up section formaximum time starter can be used).
4) Release key (when engine has started) to ‘RUN’ position.
• All red warning lamps should extinguish and buzzer should
stop sounding. The oil pressure lamp may take a few
seconds to switch off and the charge fail lamp may remain
on until engine rpm is increased to approximately 1,000rpm
if the engine was started on tickover.
• Green lamp for ‘panel power on’ should still function.
• If the ‘charge fail’ lamp remains on then “blip” the engine
speed up to 2000 rev/min and it will go out (split charge

Beta Control Panels - A, AB, ABV, B and C Deluxe - with keyswitch.
Beta Control Panel ABVW - Keyless (without keyswitch)This panel controls the engine with three water resistant pushbuttons instead of a keyswitch, and is less prone to damageand corrosion from sea water spray.
To operate the engine: with the engine out of gear, set speedcontrol lever to 1/3 throttle.
1) Press and hold ‘HEAT’ button for ten seconds maximum.
• Green lamp for panel ‘power on’ should illuminate.
• Buzzer should sound.
• Red lamp for ‘no starter battery charge’ should illuminate.
• Red lamp for ‘high engine temperature’ should not
illuminate (when engine is cold / cool / warm). This lamp
will only ever illuminate if the engine is over temperature.
• Red lamp for ‘low oil pressure’ should illuminate.
2) Press ‘START’ button and hold in position until enginefires (see initial start-up section for maximum timestarter can be operated). Release button (when enginehas started)
• All red warning lamps should extinguish and buzzer should
stop sounding. The oil pressure lamp may take a few
seconds to switch off and the charge fail lamp may remain
on until engine rpm is increased to approximately 1,000rpm
if the engine was started on tickover.
• Green lamp for ‘panel power on’ should still function.
3) To stop the engine press the ‘STOP’ push button, hold inuntil engine stops. This button also switches the power offto the gauges, engine and ‘power on’ lamp.
4) To re-start the engine, simply repeat steps from ‘1’ above,there is no need to switch battery isolators off whilstremaining on board.
5) If leaving the boat, isolate start battery from engine andpanel, to prevent accidental start up of engine and stoppower leakage.

Stopping
Every propulsion engine is fitted with a stop solenoid. To stop the engine simply press stop push button, hold inuntil engine stops, then turn key from ‘RUN’ to ‘OFF’ position.Do not turn the key to the off position when the engine isrunning, this will not allow the alternator to charge thebattery.
Warning!
Do not leave the key in ‘HEAT’ position for more than 15 seconds - this will damage the heater plugs andeventually lead to poor starting.
When leaving the boat for an extended period:
• Turn off sea-cock (heat exchanger cooled engines).
• Turn off battery isolator.
Notes for all panel types: Do not depress the stop buttonfor more than ten seconds as this will lead to overheatingand failure of the solenoid. These engines are equipped witha mechanical stop lever in the event of electrical systemfailure. This lever is located on the starboard side of theengine behind the speed control lever. See illustration below.Move the stop lever aft to stop the engine then return it to therun position.

Lubrication
Engine oil: Engine oil quality should have the minimumproperties of the American Petroleum Institute “API”classification CF (CD, or CE). The following table gives gradesof oil viscosity required for various ambient temperatureranges.
Note: A good quality SAE 15W/40 mineral based multigradeoil as used in most car diesel engines will meet requirements.Do not use ‘Turbo Diesel Oil’ or additives, and the use ofsynthetic oil is not recommended.
Checking engine oil level
For quantities of oil required see section marked ‘TechnicalSpecification’, page 4.
When checking the engine oil level, do so before starting, ormore than five minutes after stopping.
1. To check the oil level, draw out the dipstick, wipe it clean,re-insert it, and draw it out again. Check to see that theoil level lies between the two notches.
2. If the level is too low, add new oil to the specified level -Do not over fill.
Important: When using an oil of different make or viscosityfrom the previous one, drain old oil. Never mix two differenttypes of oil. Engine oil should be changed after first 50 hoursrunning time and then every year or every 250 hours ifsooner. Oil filter is a cartridge type mounted on the starboardside of the engine.
Ambient Temp. Single Grade Multi-Grade
-30°C to 0°C SAE 10W S AE 10W/30
-15°C to +15°C SAE 20W SAE 15W/40
0°C to +30°C SAE 30 SAE 15W/40
25°C and above SAE 30 SAE 15W/40
Changing engine oil
(1) Run the engine for 10 minutes to warm up the oil.
(2) Drain the engine sump of the used engine oil. Yourengine is provided with a sump drain pump. Unscrewthe end cap on the end of the pump spout, turn the tapto ‘on’. Use the hand pump as shown, to pump out theoil into a bucket. When empty turn the tap to ‘off’position and replace end cap. See photo 18.
(3) Unscrew the oil filter and replace with a new one. Seephoto 19. Note: It is best to have a plastic bag wrappedround the filter to catch any oil left in the system.(Always keep your bilges clean!) Before screwing in thenew filter spread a thin film of oil round the rubbergasket to ensure a good seal and screw in - hand tight.
(4) Fill the engine with new oil as described above.
(5) Run the engine and check for oil leaks.

Checking Gearbox oil level
1) The gearbox is fitted with a dipstick and oil filler plug, see photo 20.
2) Each engine is supplied with a gearbox ‘operatorsmanual’ which specifies the type of lubricating oil to beused, the capacity and frequency of changing of the oil.
3) New engines are normally supplied with the gearboxtopped up with lubricant but check the level beforestarting the engine for the first time.
4) The oil can be changed via the drain plug at the bottomof the box or sucked out with a hand pump via the fillerplug.
5) A guide to the type of oil to be used is as follows:
Gearbox Lubricant Capacity (approx.)
TMC40 Use ATF Oil 0.20 litres
TMC60 Use ATF Oil 0.65 litres
PRM80 Use Engine Oil 15W40 0.60 litres
PRM120 Use Engine Oil 15W40 0.80 litres
PRM150 Use Engine Oil 15W40 1.40 litres
PRM260 Use Engine Oil 15W40 1.50 litres
TTMC 35A-2 Use Engine Oil 15W40 0.65 litres
ZF15MIV Use ATF Oil 1.00 litres

Fuel Filter Replacement
1. The fuel filter is a spin on type. Remove by turning anti-clockwise when viewed from below.
2. Replace the fuel filter cartridge every 750 hours or every2 years. See photo 21.
3. Apply fuel oil thinly over the gasket and tighten intoposition - hand tight.
4. Bleed as detailed - see ‘initial start up’.
5. Check for leaks.
6. Do not get fuel on the flexible mounts, this will degradethe rubber.

22 Heat Exchanger Cooled
Fresh water ‘coolant’ circulates through the engine and thenthe heat exchanger body where the engine heat is transferredto the sea water that is pumped through the heat exchangercooling tubes (tube stack). The heated sea water is theninjected into the exhaust system (see diagram).
Fuel System
Important
• Always fit a fuel/water separator in the fuel supplysystem. Water in the fuel can seriously damage theinjection system.
• If a fuel supply shutoff valve is fitted do not use a tapertap, only use a ball valve tap. The ball valve type aremore reliable and less likely to let air into the fuel system.
• Be sure to use a strainer when filling the fuel tank. Dirt orsand in the fuel may cause trouble in the fuel injectionpump.
• Always use diesel fuel. Do not use paraffin / kerosene,which is very low in cetane rating, and adversely affectsthe engine.
• Bio-diesel fuel can be added to the normal diesel fuel upto a maximum limit of 5% without affecting the warranty.
• We know that some customers are using 100% Bio-diesel fuel, Important; Beta Marine warranty will notcover fuel equipment when more than 5% Bio-diesel isused. If you use Bio-diesel fuel you must fit an electric liftpump into the fuel supply line and the fuel filter and oilfilter must both be changed together when the oil filter isnormally replaced.
• Be careful not to let the fuel tank become empty, or aircan enter the fuel system, necessitating bleeding beforenext engine start.
• The fuel lift pump will only lift fuel through 0.25m. If this is insufficient then an electric fuel lift pump mustbe fitted. Drawing 202-06421, illustrating recommendedwiring for this pump is included in the back of themanual.

Filling the Freshwater System
New engines are supplied with the fresh water ‘coolant’drained off. The following instructions must be followed to fillthe system.
a) Pour into a clean bucket a mixture of both fresh waterand anti-freeze; with an anti-freeze ratio of 33% to 50%(see next page). For the required volume see technicalspecification page 4.
b) Check that the coolant drain tap or plug is turned off. Seephoto 23.
c) Fill engine with freshwater / anti-freeze solution throughthe top of the heat exchanger or header tank with thefiller cap removed. See photo 24.
d) Fill header tank to the top of the filler neck and replacecap. Press down firmly on filler cap and hand tighten ina clockwise direction.
e) Run the engine for 5 minutes on no load (out of gear)and check coolant level, this will help remove air fromthe system. Top up as necessary.
f) Check system for leaks.
g) If a calorifier is fitted care must be taken to see that thisis also full of coolant and all the air is removed. (Seecalorifier fitting notes under Section 1).
h) Run the engine on one third load for 15 minutes,preferably with the boat tied up. As the system warmsup coolant may be expelled from the overflow pipe intothe bilge. Stop the engine and allow the engine to cooldown before removing the pressure cap and top up thecoolant to 25 mm / 1 inch below the filler neck.
Important: Removal of the pressure cap when the engine ishot can cause severe injury from scalding hot water underpressure. Always allow the engine to cool and then use alarge cloth when turning the cap anti-clockwise to the stop.This allows the pressure to be released. Press firmly down onthe cap and continue to turn anticlockwise to release thepressure cap.
i) Repeat (h) if coolant level is more than 1 inch below thebase of the filler neck when the engine has cooled down.
j) Run engine on 2/3 full load for 20 minutes, check forleaks and repeat (i) if necessary.
k) Anti-freeze solutions should be drained off every 2 yearsand replaced with a new solution.
Note: When draining your fresh water system, ensure theengine has cooled sufficiently to prevent scalding from hotpressurised water. Prior to draining a cold engine, remove thefiller cap from the header tank and then open the water draintap. This allows the water to drain freely from the system.

Yachts and launches with heat exchanger cooling
It is essential that a solution of fresh water and anti-freeze isused as engine coolant. The amount of anti-freeze must bebetween 33% to 50%. This not only stops ‘freezing up’ inwinter, but it prevents overheating and corrosion.
The warranty is invalid unless the correct ratio is used. The concentration of ethylene must NOT exceed 50%.
The anti-freeze in the fresh water system enables the boilingpoint of water to rise to 124°C with a 13 psi pressure capfitted.
The water temperature alarm switch will however beactivated at 95°C to 100°C. If no anti-freeze or a very weaksolution is used, then the water temperature switch may notbe activated before coolant is lost.
Cleaning the heat exchanger tube stack and replacing ‘wasting zinc anode’
(1) The wasting zinc anode should be checked regularly atleast every six months and replaced every year or sooner,as necessary. The anode is attached to the bolt insertedin the end cap of the heat exchanger. See photo 25. Onmost engines this is on the aft end.
(2) Unscrew the bolt and replace the complete unit with anew one.
(3) It is possible for fine sea weed and other debris to getpast the inlet filter and into the tube stack. This shouldbe removed and cleaned. See photo 26.
(4) Drain off coolant into a bucket.
(5) Unscrew the 2 end cap retaining bolts (one each end ofthe tube stack). Remove the ‘O’ rings and pull out tubestack. Clean tube stack and end caps.
Sea water pump and cooling system(Heat exchanger-cooled engines)
Caution: Before working on the sea water system ensure that the sea cock is in the off position.
1) It is very important that the correct sea water flow ismaintained to cool the closed circuit system of theengine. The key component in this system is the seawater pump impeller. This should be checked every yearby removing the circular plate. See photo 27.
2) Withdraw the rubber impeller from its drive shaft asshown. See photo 28.
3) Check impeller for cracks in the rubber, excessive wearor lost vanes. Replace with a new impeller as necessary.

Note: If any pieces of rubber impeller are missing then theymust be found as they are most likely to be trapped in theentrance to the heat exchanger cooling stack. See ‘CleaningTube Stack’.
4) Re-assemble using new ‘O’ rings. Do not over tightenend cap bolts and make sure the tube stack is theright way round for end cap location.
5) Re-fill engine with coolant (water/anti-freeze solution)and run engine up to temperature to check for leaks.

Belt Tension
Warning: Belt tension must only be checked with the engineswitched off.
These engines are fitted as standard with a single belt thatdrives both the 65 Amp battery charging alternator and thefresh water / engine coolant circulating pump.
65 Amp alternator (heat exchanger cooled)
(1) The belt tension is adjusted by swinging the alternatoroutboard as it pivots on its support bolts. See photo 29.
(2) With the engine stopped, loosen the support bolts andthe link adjusting bolt.
3) Push alternator outboard by hand to tension the belt,then tighten link bolt.
(4) Check that the depression of the belt (at position shown)is approximately 1/2” or 12 mm when pushed downfirmly by thumb. Tighten support bolts. See photo 30.
(5) Belt tension should be regularly checked especiallyduring the first 20 hours of running in a new belt, asstretching occurs.
100 Amp alternator (option)
The same method applies as outlined above with the‘polyvee’ flat belt, but final tensioning must be by hand only.Over tensioning will cause premature failure of components.

Air Filter Intake
These engines are fitted with an air intake filter which should be checked every season and changed every 2 years or sooner ifbadly clogged. If badly clogged check more often.
Panels and Wiring
See installation notes, page 30.
General maintenance
(1) The panel must be protected from rain and sea water,see installation. Sea water entering the key switch willeventually cause corrosion and could result in the startermotor being permanently energised and burning out.Spray key switch every month with WD40 or equivalent;or apply ‘vaseline’.
(2) Check batteries for acid level and top up if required. For low maintenance and ‘gel’ batteries seemanufacturers instructions.
(3) Loose spade terminal connections are the most commoncause for electrical faults - check on a regular bases (seemaintenance instructions).
Maintenance - Electrical
Warning:
Under no circumstances should the battery be disconnected or switched off whenthe engine is running. This will seriously damage the alternator.

Winterising and Laying up
Heat Exchanger Cooled Engines Left Afloat and Ashore
a) The engine lubricating oil and lubricating oil filter shouldbe changed at the end of the season rather than in thespring. See section 2.
b) The closed circuit cooling system must contain an anti-freeze coolant solution. The coolant solution is a mixtureof fresh water and anti-freeze (Ethylene Glycol basedconforming to BS6580:1992) with the anti-freeze beinga minimum of 33% up to a maximum of 50% solution(this also applies to warm and tropical climates). Thewarranty is invalid if the correct percentage/ratio is notused.
c) For cold climates where the air or water temperaturescan fall below 3°C, the sea water circuit must beprotected in addition to the fresh water system. This isbest achieved as follows:
• Close the inlet seacock to the engine (engine stopped).
• Disconnect the sea water inlet pipe and dip it into asmall bucket containing 50/50 anti-freeze solution.
• Start the engine (out of gear) and run for 5 to 10seconds until the anti-freeze is used up and can be seencoming out of the exhaust outlet.
• Shut engine off and reconnect the inlet pipe to theseacock. The sea water or raw water circuit is nowprotected by anti-freeze.
d) Ensure instrument panel is well protected and give thekey switch a spray of WD40 / Petroleum Jelly orequivalent.
e) With the engine stopped, disconnect the battery (alwaysdisconnect the negative cable first and re-connect thenegative cable last) and take it ashore for trickle chargingand top up as necessary. If AC power is available thenthis can be done on the boat.
Fuel tanks should be kept full during the lay up period toeliminate water condensation in the tank. Water enteringthe fuel injection system can cause considerabledamage.
Laying up Ashore
a) Change the engine oil before the boat is taken out of thewater. Remember that warm engine oil is much easier topump than cold!
b) Cooling system - As above in ‘Winterising and Laying up’paragraphs (b) to (f) should be followed.
c) If the engine is to be laid up for more than 6 monthsthen remove the sea water pump impeller.
d) If the engine will not be used or run for periods longerthan 6 months we recommend that the engine is‘inhibited’ - this means involves running the engine forabout 5 minutes to:
• Replace all the diesel fuel in the fuel system andinjection pump by running the engine with ‘calibrationfluid’ (fuel pump test oil ISO 4113).
• Allow ‘Ensis’ to circulate around the lubricating oil systemby draining out the standard lubricating oil and replacingit with a rust preventative oil such as ‘Ensis’ or similar.

Problem: Engine overheatsPossible Cause Solution
Check coolant level: Top up.
Pressure cap loose: Tighten correctly or replace.
Switch sender faulty: Replace.
Insufficient restrictions in pipe to calorifier: Clamp off pipe to confirm.
High exhaust back pressure: Must not exceed: 80 mm of Hg (3.2" of Hg) @ 3,600rpm,70 mm of Hg (2.8” of Hg) @ 3,000rpm.
Keel cooler insufficient size: Contact boat builder
Problem: Engine overheats - Heat exchanger only
The most common cause of overheating is insufficient seawater flow due to a blocked intake (weed or a plastic bag!). Ifthis happens then clear the blockage. If the problem is not cured then check the system for sea water flow which shouldbe 15 litres / minute minimum at 1,500 rpm as follows:
(a) With the boat tied up and out of gear run the engine up to 1500 rpm. Hold a plastic bucket over the exhaust outlet for10 seconds and measure the amount of water collected*. Multiply this value by 6 to give the flow in litres/min. Repeattwice and take an average. If the flow rate is noticeably less than the 15 litre per minute minimum at 1,500 rpm, then:
(b) Check impeller in sea water pump - if worn replace.
(c) If impeller has a vane missing then this will be lodged either in the pipe to the heat exchanger or in the end of theexchanger. This must be removed.
(d) Check flow again as in (a).
*Note: This operation must only be done in safe conditions, in port and with two assistants. Working from a rubber dinghyis best. The person holding the bucket should take precautions against breathing in the exhaust gasses.
Problem: Engine overheats - Keel cooling only
Sometimes overheating is caused by:
(a) Not fully venting the engine cooling system of air. It is necessary to remove all air from the cooling system - includingthe “skin” tanks and (if fitted) the Calorifier and associated piping.
(b) Incorrectly sized “skin” tanks that have been sized for ‘usual’ canal use (rather than maximum engine output that cansometimes be required) on fast flowing rivers. An additional “skin” tank may need to be fitted; please refer to ourwebsite: Inland waterways - Guidelines: keel cooling tank sizes.
Problem: Water in lubricating oil - keel cooledPossible Cause Solution
Oil goes "milky" due to water entering exhaust Check installation - has dry exhaust system been fitted manifold and then into the sump: correctly, and ensuring rain water cannot enter the
exhaust port and run back? (See Dry Exhaust System).Change engine oil and run engine for 10 minutes eachtime to eliminate any water. Get injection pump checkedby Service Agent.

Problem: Transmission noisePossible Cause Solution
Check gearbox oil level: Top up.
"Singing" propeller: Check with propeller supplier about ‘harmonics’.
Drive plate rattle at tickover: Check engine rpm (must be 850rpm min. in gear).
Worn drive plate: Change.
Propeller shaft hitting the Gearbox half coupling: Move shaft back to give 5mm - 10mm clearance(Type 12/16 couplings only).
Propeller torsionals causing gears to rattle at low rpm: Fit a torsional flexible coupling such as Centatype 16 or equivalent.
Problem: Panel rev counter not working (when fitted)Possible Cause Solution
No W connection to alternator: Check output from ‘W’ connection. Should be about 9V AC
Wiring fault: Check circuit
Problem: Morse control cable will not fitPossible Cause Solution
Incorrect fitting: Cables are being fitted the wrong way around,switch over and fit the opposite way.
Problem: Battery quickly dischargesPossible Cause Solution
High load and insufficient running: Reduce load or increase charging time. Large domesticbattery banks subject to high electrical loads will takea considerable time to recharge from a single alternator.
Low electrolyte level: Top up.
Fan belt slipping - black dust in engine compartment, Adjust tension / replace belt with a high temperatureengine compartment temperature too high: type and / or improve engine compartment ventilation.
Alternator defective: Check with Agent.
Battery defective: Replace.
Poor wiring connection: Check wiring system.

Problem: VibrationsPossible Cause Solution
Poor alignment to shaft: The alignment must be accurate even if a flexiblecoupling is used (see section 1, Alignment).
Flexible mounts not adjusted correctly to take even weight: Check relative compression of each mount.
Flexible mount rubber perished: Replace. (Diesel or oil will eventually perishmost rubbers.)
Loose securing nut on flexible mount: Check alignment and then tighten the nuts.
Insufficient clearance between the propeller There must be at least 10% of the propeller diametertip and the bottom of the boat: as tip clearance between the propeller and the bottom
of the boat. Reduce propeller diameter / increase pitch.
Loose zinc anode on the shaft: Tighten or replace.
Worn cutless bearing or shaft: Replace.
Weak engine support/bearers: Check for cracked or broken feet.
Problem: Knocking noisePossible Cause Solution
Propshaft touching gearbox output coupling Adjust, giving correct clearance give 5mm - 10mmthrough split boss or Type 16 coupling: between gearbox and propeller shaft
Flexible mount stud touching engine bed: Adjust stud to clear
Drive plate broken: Replace / repair
Engine touching engine bed: Re-align engine / modify bed

The following chart is compiled to aid diagnosis of electricalfaults, based on the Beta 10 - 90hp range of engines. If yourengine was built before July 2005, contact Beta Marine forthe relevant electrical trouble shooting guide.
Note: our standard control panels are for earth returninstallations only (where battery negative cable is connecteddirectly to engine ground). For insulated earth (where batterynegative cable is isolated from engine ground) differentharnesses, alternators, switches for oil pressure and enginetemperature are fitted.
Standard sea specification engines (heat exchanger cooled)are supplied with a single alternator, mounted port side,supplying power to starter battery and control panel.
Standard canal specification engines (keel cooled) aresupplied with twin alternators:
• 1st alternator, mounted port side, supplying power tostarter battery and control panel
• 2nd alternator, the standard mounting position for this isabove the engine on the starboard side (or below 1stalternator on 75 and 90hp), supplying power to thedomestic battery system.
Both of these alternators work independently, if the domesticbattery system is disconnected, the engine will still runcorrectly but:
• Domestic charge warning lamp will not function
• Warning buzzer will remain on at all times
Note: The two way plug on panel loom will only have acorresponding socket to connect into from the engine if a 2ndalternator is fitted which requires this connection. Engineswith only one alternator do not utilise this connection.
Standard Keyswitch Control Panels aresupplied with four or five lamps.
Four lamp panels: A, ABV, B these panels utilise bulbsinside sealed lamp holders.
Five lamp panels: AB and C; these panels also utilisebulbs inside sealed lamp holders, having an additionallamp for ‘domestic battery charge’.

Buzzer should sound.
2) Press ‘START’ button and hold in position until enginefires (see initial start-up section for maximum timestarter can be operated). Release button (whenengine has started).
All red warning lamps should extinguishand buzzer should stop sounding. The oilpressure lamp may take a few seconds toswitch off and the charge fail lamp mayremain on until engine rpm is increased toapproximately 1,000rpm if the engine wasstarted at tickover.
Green lamp for ‘panel power on’ should still function.
3) To stop the engine press the ‘STOP’ push button, holdin until engine stops. This button also switches thepower off to the gauges, engine and power on lamp.Before investigating any specific electrical problem,always check:
• Connection between panel harness and panelloom. It must be clean, dry and secured with acable tie.
• Check the start battery is connected to the correctterminal on the starter motor.
• Check the domestic battery is switched on andconnected to the correct terminals for the 2ndalternator.
• Battery connections, inspecting condition of cablesfrom battery to engine. If in doubt measure thevoltage at the engine.
• If alternator charge problem, measure batteryvoltage with engine off and again with enginerunning, if there is an increase alternator isfunctioning correctly, if not refer to check list.

Some installations require one of the panel extensions 11way connectors to be removed to allow the cable to bepassed through bulkheads etc.
If any panel problems are experienced, after this may havebeen carried out, visually check all 11 way connections onengine harness to panel extension (and panel extension topanel on C ‘Deluxe’) to ensure wire colours to each terminalmatch up to the correct colour in its corresponding terminal.
Extra attention must be given to black (ground) andblack/blue (tacho), also brown (switched positive toalternator) and brown/yellow (charge fail) as theseconnections are harder to distinguish between in poorly litareas. Whilst doing this check integrity of each connection toensure terminals have not become damaged. Once checked,re-fit cable tie around each connection to keep them secure.
Engines can be supplied wired up to suit VDO switchsenders, usually fitted to a non-Beta control panel. If so referto our wiring diagram 200-60971/01 (also part number forreplacement harness)
• Loom is configured differently in the 11-way plug toaccommodate the extra wiring.
• Small brown wire (battery sensed alternator feed) fittedwith bullet connection beside harness plug.
• Oil pressure and water temperature switch / senders fittedto engine, requiring individual connections for drivinggauges and warning lamps.

Beta Controller - Sea Spec Engines
The BETA CONTROLLER is only offered as an option withour 70 Amp or 100 Amp Iskra alternators. These upratedalternators also include a polyvee drive (with a 6 groove flatbelt and pulleys designed for the increased power loading).These alternators develop the following outputs:
a) 70 Amp Iskra alternator develops: 35 Amps at ‘tick over’increasing to 70 Amps at 2,700 rev/min.
b) 100 Amp Iskra alternator develops: 60 Amps at ‘tickover’ increasing to 100 Amps at 1,800 rev/min.
The BETA CONTROLLER is an integrated battery chargingregulator. The controller provides a three stage chargingsystem enabling a rapid charge rate for batteries:
A mode the first stage is a boost charge, when operating theLED shows red.
B mode the second stage is where the voltage is at a highlevel and the current is between 10% and 95% of thenominal alternator current, the LED shows orange.
C mode the third and last stage is intended for maintenanceof battery voltage only. When the alternator current drops to alow level for longer than 2 minutes, the regulating mode ischanged from B to C.
The controller automatically adjusts the charge mode to suitthe load and is set for conventional lead-acid batteries asstandard during production. It can easily be re-set for deepcycle or gel batteries.

The engine must be installed, maintained and operated within the parameters detailed in theOperator’s Maintenance Manual. Maintenance must use approved materials, parts and consumables.Should the engine lie unused for a period in excess of 6 months it must be inhibited otherwise it willdeteriorate with resulting decrease in performance. See also the Winterising and Laying Upprocedures in the Operator’s Maintenance Manual.
The fuel settings of the diesel injection system must not be tampered with otherwise the guaranteewill be invalid and the performance may fall outside prescribed limit. Such adjustment cannot beallowed under the terms of the emission certification.
Performance of the engine depends upon the use of correct fuels, lubricants and inhibitors. Theseare fully detailed in the Operator’s Maintenance Manual.
Particular attention must be paid to the installation with respect to the exhaust system. The systemmust be designed so that water cannot back feed into the engine. The run must be such that theback pressure at the engine manifold does not exceed the level detailed in the Operator’sMaintenance Manual. Wet, water injected, exhaust systems must be at least the bore mentioned inthe Operator’s Maintenance Manual and should the run be excessive this bore must be increasedaccordingly. Back pressure is measured at the outlet of the engine manifold before the waterinjection bend or dry bellows.
Our experience over 19 years has shown that properly installed and maintained engines hold theirperformance without major mishap even when running hours exceed those mentioned in theRecreational Craft Directive. It is the owners / users responsibility to ensure that the engine continuesto function properly and any malfunction must be immediately investigated. The Trouble Shootingsection as detailed in the Operator’s Maintenance Manual is particularly helpful in this respect.Engine performance, especially with respect to erratic running, exhaust condition, low power outputand high oil consumption are indications of engine conditions that may result in emissions outsidethe prescribed limits and must therefore be investigated and rectified immediately.
In respect to the Recreational Craft Directive 94/25/EC and amendment 2003/44/EC Annex 1, B3.
