Adjust Engine Speed - Yanmar 2V Series Operation Manual

ADJUST ENGINE SPEED

CAUTION
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.
Use the engine speed control (Figure 1, (1)) to
adjust the engine speed for the task that will be
performed.
CAUTION
NEVER change the engine speed
abruptly or place under heavy load
during the first four to five hours of
operation. This may cause engine
damage and shorten its life.
