Warning Beware of
falling engine
●
Exercise caution when lifting the
engine
The wire rope used to lift the engine
should have enough strength to
withstand the weight of the engine.
Attach the specified lifting gear onto the
lifting hangers on the engine.
Ensure that the engine is well balanced when it is
lifted by taking into account the engine’s center of
gravity.
The angle of wire rope relative to the lifting hangers
should be maintained at 60º or less. Above this, the
hangers may be subjected to overload and break.
If direct contact between the wire rope and the
engine is anticipated, protect them from damage by
covering them with cloth or other soft material.
●
Do not climb on the engine
Do not climb onto the engine, nor place a foot on the
components on the side of the engine.
Otherwise, you may not only break the engine
components but also fall and become injured.
Use a stool or a platform to work on the top of the
engine. Be careful not to slip and fall.
●
Secure your foothold when carrying
out service
Use a stable stool or platform when
working on the top of the engine or
other areas of the engine difficult to
reach.
Do not use a rickety stool nor
substitute a box of parts. Otherwise, you may fall
and become injured.
Do not leave anything on the stool.
Caution Use correct
engine oil and LLC
●
Only use the specified fuel, engine oil
and coolant (LLC)
Only use the fuel, engine oil and coolant (LLC) that
are specified in this manual. Handle them with
sufficient care.
Using fluids other than those specified in this
manual or incorrect use of those specified in this
manual will lead to many problems and may
possibly cause failures.

the instructions of MSDS (Material Safety Data
Sheets) issued by and available from the

mistake or allow it to contact your eyes.
Old coolant (containing LLC) that has been drained
off is toxic. Do not dispose of it carelessly. Dispose
of it in accordance with the applicable laws and
regulations.
