A
DANGER
0000014en
FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARD!
• Diesel fuel is extremely flammable and
explosive under certain conditions.
• Be sure to place the diesel fuel
container on the ground when
transferring diesel fuel from the pump
to the container. Hold the hose nozzle
firmly against the side of the container
while filling it. This prevents static
electricity build-up which could cause
sparks and ignite fuel vapors.
• NEVER place diesel fuel or other
flammable material such as oil, hay or
dried grass close to the engine during
engine operation or shortly after shut
down.
• Failure to comply will result in death or
serious injury.

DANGER

FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARD!
• Diesel fuel is extremely flammable and
explosive under certain conditions.
• Before you operate the engine, check
for fuel leaks. Replace rubberized fuel
hoses every two years or every 2000
hours of engine operation, whichever
comes first, even if the engine has
been out of service. Rubberized fuel
lines tend to dry out and become
brittle after two years or 2000 hours of
engine operation, whichever comes
first.
• Failure to comply will result in death or
serious injury.
A
WARNING
0000008en
HIGH PRESSURE HAZARD!
• Avoid skin contact with high pressure
diesel fuel spray caused by a fuel
system leak such as a broken fuel
injection line. High pressure fuel can
penetrate your skin and result in
serious injury. If you are exposed to
high pressure fuel spray obtain
prompt medical treatment.
• NEVER check for a fuel leak with your
hands. ALWAYS use a piece of wood
or cardboard. Have your authorized
Yanmar industrial engine dealer or
distributor repair the damage.
• Failure to comply could result in death
or serious injury.
