steam or scalding water may be emitted during operation causing
©Check the cooling water level in the subtank.
If the water level is close to the lower limit, remove the subtank cap and fill with fresh water to

• check the amount of cooling water in the fresh water tank. Fill with fresh water the
fresh water tank, if the level is low.
• Check the fresh water level before operation while the engine is cold.
Checking the water level while the engine is hot is dangerous, and the cooling water level
reading will be misleading due to thermal expansion.
• Check the cooling water daily at the subtank and supply ifnecessary.
Do not remove the fresh water tank filler cap regularly.
• The amount of water in tne subtank wiii increase auring operation. This is normal.
When the engine is stopped, the temperature of the cooling water will drop causing the
extra water in the subtank to return to the fresh water tank.
riNOTICE]
If the cooling water runs out too often, or if the water level in the fresh water tank falls
without any change in the subtank water level, there may be some leakage of water or
air. In such cases, consult your Yanmar dealer or distributor without delay.
