SAFETY
NOTICE
• Only use the engine coolant specified. Other
engine coolants may affect warranty coverage,
cause an internal buildup of rust and scale
and / or shorten engine life.
• Prevent dirt and debris from contaminating the
engine coolant. Carefully clean the radiator cap
and the surrounding area before you remove the
cap.
• NEVER mix different types of engine coolants.
This may adversely affect the properties of the
engine coolant.
NOTICE
• NEVER overfill the engine with engine oil.
• ALWAYS keep the oil level between the upper
and lower lines on the oil cap / dipstick.
NOTICE
For maximum engine life, Yanmar recommends that
when shutting the engine down, you allow the
engine to idle, without load, for five minutes. This
will allow the engine components that operate at
high temperatures, such as the turbocharger (if
equipped) and exhaust system, to cool slightly
before the engine itself is shut down.
NOTICE
NEVER use an engine starting aid such as ether.
Engine damage will result.

NOTICE
• 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
irresponsibly by dumping them into a sewer, on
the ground, or into ground water or waterways.
• Failure to follow these procedures may seriously
harm the environment.
NOTICE
NEVER engage the starter motor while the engine
is running. This may damage the starter motor
pinion and / or ring gear.
NOTICE
New Engine Break-in:
• On the initial engine start-up, allow the engine to
idle for approximately 15 minutes while you check
for proper engine oil pressure, diesel fuel leaks,
engine oil leaks, coolant leaks, and for proper
operation of the indicators and / or gauges.
• During the first hour of operation, vary the engine
speed and the load on the engine. Short periods
of maximum engine speed and load are
desirable. Avoid prolonged operation at minimum
or maximum engine speeds and loads for the
next four to five hours.
• During the break-in period, carefully observe the
engine oil pressure and engine temperature.
• During the break-in period, check the engine oil
and coolant levels frequently.
