Figure 4. Engine Controls and Components
The engine shown above is a YANMAR L70V6 engine (Figure 4).
The engine must be checked for proper lubrication and filled
with fuel prior to operation. Refer to the manufacturer’s engine
manual for instructions and details of operation and servicing.
Each component is described below:
1. Fuel Filler Cap – Remove this cap to add unleaded
gasoline to the fuel tank. Make sure cap is tightened
securely.
DO NOT over fill.
2 . Fuel Tank – Capacity is 3.5 quarts (3.31 liters) of diesel
fuel.
3 . Air Cleaner – Prevents dirt and other debris from entering
the fuel system. Remove wing-nut on top of air filter
cannister to gain access to filter element.
4 . Muffler – Used to reduce noise and emissions.
5 . Recoil Starting Handle (pull rope) – Type of engine
starting method.
Operating the engine without
an air filter, with a damaged
air filter, or a filter in need of
replacement will allow dirt to
enter the engine, causing
rapid engine wear.

while the engine is running or immediately after
operating.
NEVER operate the engine with the
muffler removed.
