PAGE 206 ALMAC s.r.l.
Use a 50/50 mixture of long-life coolant and distilled water.
For extreme coolant conditions, contact your dealer.
1. Long-life coolant (hereafter referred to as LLC) is produced in different types. For this
engine use the ethylene glycol (EG) type;
2. Before using the LCC-water coolant mixture, wash the radiator thoroughly with fresh
water. Repeat this procedure 2 or 3 times to completely clean the inside of the radiator
and the engine block;
3. LLC Mixing:
Mix 50% of LCC with 50% distilled water. At the time of mixing, mix well, and then fill
the radiator;
4. The procedure for mixing water and antifreeze varies depending on the formulation of
the antifreeze. Refer to the SAE J1034 standard, and more specifically to SAE J814c.
5. Addition of LLC:
(1)
Add only water if the coolant level in the cooling system is reduced by evaporation;
(2) If a coolant leak occurs, add LLC of the same brand and type, in the same
percentage of coolant mixing.
* Never add different brand long-life anti-freeze. (Different brands may have different additive
components, and the engine may experience a decline in performance as specified).
6. When mixing LLC, do not use any type of radiator cleaning agent. LLC contains an
anticorrosive agent. If mixed with cleaning agents, deposits may appear, adversely
affecting engine components;
7. The original Yanmar long-life coolant has a 2-year service life. Be sure to change the
coolant every 2 years.
NOTE :
•
The above data represent the industry standards that necessarily require a minimum
glycol content in the concentrated antifreeze agent.
6.4.19.5 AIR FILTER
If the air filter element used in this engine is of the dry type, it must never be oiled.
1. Under normal operating conditions, the evacuation valve must be opened once a week or
every day if it is used in a dusty environment, in order to remove dust and minor
impurities;
2. Clean the inside of the air filter with a cloth or similar if it is dirty or damp;
3. Avoid touching the element except to clean it;
4. If dust adheres to the element, remove it by compressed air from inside to outside, by
rotating the element. The compressed air pressure must be less than 205 kPa (2.1
kgf/cm
2
, 30psi);
5. Replace the element every year or every 6 cleaning operations.
