Observe Safety Rules at Work Site
Observe the safety rules established at the workplace
when operating and maintaining the engine. Do not
operate the engine if you are in bad health. Consult
your supervisor about your condition. Operation of the
engine with decreased attention may cause improper
operation and results in an accident. When working in
a team of two or more people, use specified hand sig-
nals to communicate among workers.
Use Proper Tools for Maintenance Work
Always keep in mind to select most appropriate tools
for the work and use them correctly. If a tool is dam-
aged, replace with new tool.
Do Not Operate Starter for a Long Time
Do not use the starter for more than 10 seconds at a
time. If the engine does not start, wait for at least 1
minute before starting again. Continuous operation of
the starter to start a stubborn engine may lead to a flat
battery or starter burning out.
Do Not Turn Off the Battery Switch During
Operation
If the battery switch is turned OFF when the engine is
running, not only various meters will stop working but
also the diodes and transistors in the starter can be
damaged.
Cautions for Engine Transportation
To road-transport the engine, consider the engine
weight, width and height, and obey applicable laws
and regulations such as road traffic laws, vehicle road
acts and vehicle restriction ordinances.
Be Careful of Engine Room Ventilation
Always keep the engine room well-ventilated. Insuffi-
cient intake air amount of the engine can cause an
increase in the engine temperature, and could result in
a decrease in the output power and poor performance.
It is highly recommended to calculate the required
amount of air supply to the engine and install an ade-
quate ventilation system before installing the engine.
Do Not Touch High Pressure Fuel Jet
Do not touch fuel jet leaked or sprayed from the high
pressure injection pipe. Fuel in the fuel injection pipe
has a high pressure and if the fuel impinges your skin,
it goes through the skin and can cause serious injury.
