ENGINE OPERATION
CAUTION
NEVER engage the starter motor while
the engine is running. This may damage
the starter motor pinion and / or ring
gear.
1. While the engine is running, check the
indicators for normal indications. See your
specific machine / equipment operation manual
for details.
2. If any of the gauges shows an out of normal
limits condition, shut down the engine and have
the necessary repairs performed.
3. After the engine has reached operating
temperature, all of the indicators should be off.
If any of the indicators are on, shut down the
engine and have the necessary repairs
performed.
A
WARNING
HIGH-PRESSURE HAZARD!
• Avoid skin contact with the
high-pressure diesel fuel spray caused
by a fuel system leak such as a broken
fuel injection line. High-pressure fuel
can penetrate your skin and result in
serious injury. If you are exposed to
high-pressure fuel spray, obtain
prompt medical treatment.
• NEVER check for a fuel leak with your
hands. ALWAYS use a piece of wood
or cardboard. Have your authorized
Yanmar industrial engine dealer or
distributor repair the damage.
• Failure to comply could result in death
or serious injury.

4. Check for any fuel, engine coolant or engine oil
leaks. If any leaks are found, shut down the
engine and have the necessary repairs
performed.
5. Check for abnormal sounds or vibration. In
some applications the engine and its mounting
may start to resonate and cause unusual
0000012en
vibrations at certain engine speeds. Avoid
running the engine at these speeds. If the
abnormal sounds or vibration cannot be
resolved, shut down the engine and have the
necessary repairs performed.
6. Check for white or black smoke from the
exhaust system. A small amount of white
smoke is normal on start-up of a cold engine.
Black exhaust smoke may be an indication that
the engine is overloaded or is being over-
fueled. If either condition persists, contact your
authorized Yanmar industrial engine dealer or
distributor.
7. Check the fuel level during operation. If the fuel
level runs low, stop the engine and refuel.
