6LY3 Service Manual
Check the Fuel Injector Spray Pattern
NOTICE: This engine applies double spring
nozzles manufactured by DENSO. Testing,
modifications or repairs should be performed by
your authorized YANMAR service center.
WARNING!
• Never point a fuel injector toward you. Since
the fuel is ejected at high-pressure from the
nozzle, it may penetrate the skin, resulting in
injury.
• Never inject fuel toward a fire source.
Atomized fuel is highly flammable and may
cause a fire or burn skin.
CAUTION! ALWAYS wear eye protection when
servicing the engine and when using
compressed air or high-pressure fuel. Dust,
flying debris, compressed air, pressurized fuel
may injure your eyes.
