<Fuel Pipe - Check>
Check the clamp for the high pressure
fuel injection pipe for looseness.
* If looseness or play is detected at the clamp for
the high pressure fuel injection pipe, damage to
the pipe may occur, which could cause a fire.
Install the clamp for the high pressure
fuel injection pipe at the correct
position.
* If it is installed at a wrong position, the pipe
could be damaged, which could cause a fire.
■ Engine Oil System - Check
Do not touch hot engine oil or parts.
* Otherwise, you could get burned.
Do not discard waste oil into
sewerage, river, lake or other similar
places.
* Be sure to discard waste oil in accordance with
the applicable laws and regulations.
<Engine Oil - Change>
Engine Oil - Check
Conduct analysis of the engine oil
periodically and check to make sure
that the engine oil does not show
milky color.
* If the engine oil shows milky color, water may
be mixed into the engine oil system due to
coolant leak or a damaged cylinder liner O-ring.
Sustained use of the engine without any
remedy could cause seizure of the crankshaft
and lead to serious damage to the devices.

Engine Oil - Refill
Be sure to install the oil filler cap after
engine oil is refilled.
* Otherwise, seizure due to insufficient oil or
environmental pollution due to engine oil
running out from the facility may occur.
Make sure that engine oil is not
leaking from the oil pan. When
checking the engine oil level, wear
protective glasses to prevent engine
oil from getting in your eyes.
* If engine oil gets in your eyes, it will cause pain
and lead to sight loss at the worst.
Refill engine oil enough to raise the
level to within the specified range
(between the highest line {H} and the
lowest line {L}).
* If the engine oil level exceeds the upper limit,
the oil pan may crack or oil may splash out from
the breather.
* If the engine oil level is too low, seizure of the
bearings could occur.
Keep the quantity and properties
(viscosity) of the engine oil at the
specified level.
* If the supply or kinematic viscosity of engine oil
is too low, insufficient lubrication of the bearing
could occur, which could cause seizure of the
crankshaft.
* If kinematic viscosity of engine oil increases,
fuel consumption will increase.
Engine Oil Level - Check
Keep away from fire, when checking
the engine oil level.
* It may cause a fire.
