Periodic Maintenance Procedures
A
WARNING
BURN HAZARD!
• Batteries contain sulfuric acid. NEVER
allow battery fluid to come in contact
with clothing, skin or eyes. Severe
burns could result. ALWAYS wear
safety goggles and protective clothing
when servicing the battery. If battery
fluid contacts the eyes and / or skin,
immediately flush the affected area
with a large amount of clean water and
obtain prompt medical treatment.
• Failure to comply could result in death
or serious injury.
CAUTION
• ALWAYS be environmentally
responsible.
• Follow the guidelines of the EPA or
other governmental agencies for the
proper disposal of hazardous
materials such as engine oil, diesel
fuel and engine coolant. Consult the
local authorities or reclamation facility.
• NEVER dispose of hazardous
materials irresponsibly by dumping
them into a sewer, on the ground, or
into ground water or waterways.
• Failure to follow these procedures may
seriously harm the environment.
TNV DI Service Manual
• When the amount of fluid nears the lower limit
(Figure 5-8, (1)), fill with distilled water
(Figure 5-8, (2)) so it is at the upper limit
(Figure 5-8, (3)). If operation continues with
insufficient battery fluid, the battery life is
shortened, and the battery may overheat and
explode. During the summer, check the fluid
level more often than specified.

• If the engine cranking speed is so slow that the
engine does not start, recharge the battery.
• If the engine still will not start after charging,
have your authorized Yanmar industrial engine
dealer or distributor check the battery and the
engine's starting system.
• If operating the machine where the ambient
temperature could drop to 5°F (-15°C) or less,
remove the battery from the machine at the end
of the day. Store the battery in a warm place
until the next use. This will help start the engine
easily at low ambient temperatures.
