PRECAUTIONS

The Importance of Periodic
Maintenance
Engine deterioration and wear occur in
proportion to the length of time the engine
has been in service and the conditions the
engine is subjected to during operation.
Periodic maintenance prevents unexpected
downtime, reduces the number of accidents
due to poor machine performance and helps
extend the life of the engine.
Performing Periodic
Maintenance
WARNING! Exhaust Hazard. NEVER
block windows, vents, or other means of
ventilation if the engine is operating in
an enclosed area. All internal
combustion engines create carbon
monoxide gas during operation.
Accumulation of this gas within an
enclosure could cause illness or even
death. Make sure that all connections
are tightened to specifications after
repair is made to the exhaust system.
Failure to comply could result in death
or serious injury.

The Importance of Daily Checks

The Periodic Maintenance Schedule
assumes that the daily checks are
performed on a regular basis. Make it a habit
to perform daily checks before the start of
each operating day. See Daily Checks on
page 66.
JH Series Operation Manual
Keep a Log of Engine Hours and
Daily Checks
Keep a log of the number of hours the engine
is run each day and a log of the daily checks
performed. Also note the date, type of repair
(e.g., replaced alternator) and parts used for
any service needed between the periodic
maintenance intervals. Periodic
maintenance intervals are every 50, 250,
500 and 1000 engine hours. Failure to
perform periodic maintenance will shorten
the life of the engine. NOTICE: Failure to
perform periodic maintenance will shorten
the life of the engine and may void the
warranty.

Yanmar Replacement Parts

Yanmar recommends that you use genuine
Yanmar parts when replacement parts are
needed. Genuine replacement parts help
ensure long engine life.
