BEFORE YOU OPERATE
A
DANGER
FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARD!
• Diesel fuel is extremely flammable and
explosive under certain conditions.
• Be sure to place the diesel fuel
container on the ground when
transferring the diesel fuel from the
pump to the container. Hold the hose
nozzle firmly against the side of the
container while filling it. This prevents
static electricity build-up which could
cause sparks and ignite fuel vapors.
• NEVER place diesel fuel or other
flammable material such as oil, hay or
dried grass close to the engine during
engine operation or shortly after shut
down.
• Failure to comply will result in death or
serious injury.

FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARD!
• Diesel fuel is extremely flammable and
explosive under certain conditions.
• Before you operate the engine, check
for fuel leaks. Replace rubberized fuel
hoses every two years or every 2000
hours of engine operation, whichever
comes first, even if the engine has
been out of service. Rubberized fuel
lines tend to dry out and become
brittle after two years or 2000 hours of
engine operation, whichever comes
first.
• Failure to comply will result in death or
serious injury.
• Only use diesel fuels recommended by
0000014en
Yanmar for the best engine
performance, to prevent engine
damage.
• Only use clean diesel fuel.
• NEVER remove inlet fuel screen from
the filler port. If removed, dirt and
debris could get into the fuel system
causing it to clog.
Note that a typical fuel tank is shown. The fuel
tank on your engine may be different. Also note
that the inlet fuel screen is shown removed
from the fuel tank for clarity. ALWAYS make
sure the inlet fuel screen remains inside of the
fuel tank while fueling!
