NOTICE
Any part which is found defective as a result
of inspection, or any part whose measured
value does not satisfy the standard or limit,
must be replaced.
Modifications may impair the engine’s
safety and performance characteristics and
shorten the engine’s life. Any alterations to
this engine may void its warranty. Be sure to
use Yanmar genuine replacement parts.
PRECAUTIONS
The Importance of Periodic
Maintenance
Engine deterioration and wear occur in
proportion to the length of time the engine
has been in service and the conditions the
engine is subjected to during operation.
Periodic maintenance prevents unexpected
downtime, reduces the number of accidents
due to poor engine performance and helps
extend the life of the engine.
Performing Periodic
Maintenance
WARNING! NEVER block windows,
vents, or other means of ventilation if
the engine is operating in an enclosed
area. All internal combustion engines
create carbon monoxide gas during
operation. Accumulation of this gas
within an enclosure could cause illness
or even death. Make sure that all
connections are tightened to
specifications after repair is made to the
exhaust system. Failure to comply could
result in death or serious injury.
The Importance of Daily Checks
The Periodic Maintenance Schedule
assumes that the daily checks are
performed on a regular basis. Make it a habit
of performing daily checks before the start
of each operating day. See Daily Checks on
