PERIODIC MAINTENANCE
2V Operation Manual 73
• If the engine still will not start after charging,
have your authorized Yanmar industrial engine
dealer or distributor check the battery and the
engine’s starting system.
• If operating the machine where the ambient
temperature could drop to 5°F (-15°C) or less,
remove the battery from the machine at the end
of the day. Store the battery in a warm place
until the next use. This will help start the engine
easily at low ambient temperatures.
Replace Engine Oil and Engine Oil
Filter
The engine oil on a new engine becomes
contaminated from the initial break-in of internal
parts. The initial 50 hour engine oil and oil filter
change are very important.
CAUTION
• Only use the engine oil specified.
Other engine oils may affect warranty
coverage, cause internal engine
components to seize, and / or shorten
engine life.
• Prevent dirt and debris from
contaminating the engine oil. Carefully
clean the oil cap / dipstick and the
surrounding area before you remove
the cap.
• NEVER mix different types of engine
oil. This may adversely affect the
lubricating properties of the engine oil.
• NEVER overfill. Overfilling may result
in white exhaust smoke, engine
overspeed, or internal damage.

or serious injury.
