NOTICE
The safety messages that follow have
NOTICE level hazards.
It is important to perform daily checks as
listed in the Operation Manual. Periodic
maintenance prevents unexpected
downtime, reduces the number of
accidents due to poor engine performance
and helps extend the life of the engine.
Consult authorized Yanmar Marine dealer
or distributor if you need to operate the
engine at high altitudes. At high altitudes
the engine will lose power, run rough and
produce exhaust gases that exceed the
design specifications.
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 by
dumping them into a sewer, on the ground,
or into ground water or waterways.
If a Yanmar Marine Engine is installed at
an angle that exceeds the specifications
stated in the Yanmar Marine Installation
Manuals, engine oil may enter the
combustion chamber causing excessive
engine speed, white exhaust smoke and
serious engine damage. This applies to
engines that run continuously or those that
run for short periods of time.
