The IHI Shibaura Machinery Corporation (ISM) industrial diesel engines are a product of ISM's long years of experience, advanced technology. Shibaura takes great pride in the superior durability and operating economy of these engines. In order to get the fullest use and benefit from your industrial engine, it is important that you operate and maintain it correctly.
FEDERAL and CALIFORNIA EMISSIONS WARRANTY WARRANTY STATEMENT IHI Shibaura Machinery Corporation (ISM) warrants that your 2004 and later non-road diesel engine was designed, built and equipped to conform to applicable U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and California Air Resources Board (CARB)
1. Safety Introduction This Operation Manual contains the information you will need to operate the engine correctly. Check that you have the correct Operation Manual for your engine. Read the book carefully before operating or servicing the engine. Incorrect operation or servicing of the engine could result in personal injury or material damage as well as damaging the engine itself.
4. Shibaura Engine Service (1) Shibaura Engine After Service Please feel free to contact your Hustler Turf Equipment Dealer which is authorized by Shibaura for periodic inspec- tion and maintenance. When ordering service or spare parts always quote the engine model name and serial number.
109821_0508 (1) Engine Oil Selection Quality better than CD grade by API classification engine oil must be used for the Shibaura engines. (2) Oil Viscosity Engine oil viscosity largely affect engine startability, per- formance, oil consumption, speed of wear and occurrence of seizure, etc.
1. Before adding engine oil, place the unit on a level sur- face, then remove the dipstick to provide crankcase venti- lation. 2. MODELS E673L, S773L, N844L, N844L-T ONLY Add engine oil slowly. Pouring the oil too quickly can result in the oil overflowing into the air breather valve and then into the air intake manifold.

Pour oil slowly to prevent oil from flowing into the air intake manifold CAUTION: If the engine oil is splashed on the fan drive belt, it causes belt slippage or slackness; therefore, take care to avoid it. WARNING: In adding oil, take care not to spill it. If you spill oil on engine or equipment, wipe it properly, or this could lead to a fire and the risk of personal injury and/or equipment damage.
(5) Battery Cable Connection Check the battery cable connections for looseness or cor- rosion. A loose cable connection will result in hard engine starting or insufficient battery charge. The battery cables must be tightened securely. Never reverse "+" and "-" terminals when reconnecting cables.
● The type with an indicator light, 10 seconds are required until the indicator light at the instrument panel goes off. 2. Turn the starter key clockwise to the “START” position as soon as the indication lamp goes off. (3) Engine Starting 1.

(2) Coolant Temperature The engine performance is adversely affected if engine coolant temperature is too hot or too cold. The normal coolant temperature is 75 to 90°C (167 to 194°F). Overheating WARNING: If the Engine Coolant Temperature Gage shows an overheat condition or you have other reason to suspect the engine may be over- heating, continued operation of the engine (other than as spelled out here) even for a short period of...
Change the engine oil and the oil filter element periodi- cally with Shibaura or equivalent filter and oil of correct grade and viscosity. (Refer to 5.2 Lubricant on page 9.) (1) Engine Oil and Oil Filter Element Change Always change the oil filter when changing the engine oil.

1. Reinstall the drain plugs. Remove the oil dipstick from the engine to allow air to escape. 2. MODELS E673L, S773L, N844L, N844L-T ONLY Add engine oil slowly. Pouring the oil too quickly can result in the oil overflowing into the air breather valve and then into the air intake manifold.
(2) Fan Belt Change Use of a low quality fan belt will result in premature belt wear or belt elongation leading to engine damage such as overheating. Therefore use of Shibaura genuine fan belt is highly recommended.
Loosen (3) Coolant Change The coolant must be changed at intervals of 6 months. Degraded or dirty coolant will lead to engine overheating. Coolant draining 1. Remove the radiator cap. Open the drain cock at the radiator lower part to drain the coolant from the radiator.
2. Make sure the air filter seals when reassembling the air cleaner. 7.5 Engine Electrical The Shibaura engine uses a 12 volt system and a negative grounding type for the electrical system. (1) Battery Servicing Battery maintenance schedules will vary with equipment and battery types.
Specific gravity of the batteries The battery charge condition is judged by the electrolyte specific gravity measurement. Periodically measure the electrolyte gravity of the batter- ies. For the internal check follow the equipment manufac- turer's standard. The relationship between the electrolyte specific gravity and the battery conditions are as follows: Electrolyte Specific Gravity Battery Conditions...

A 50/50 Ethylene glycol base antifreeze/water mix. (which provides protection to -37°C (-34°F) is recom- mended for use in these Shibaura diesel engines). Concentrations over 65% adversely affect freeze protec- tion, heat transfer rates, and silicate stability which may cause water pump leakage.
* This is a recommended maintenance. The failure to perform this maintenance item will not nullify the emission warranty or limit recall liability prior to the completion engine useful life. Shibaura however, urges that recommended maintenance service is performed at the indicated intervals.
