and / or shorten engine life.
• Prevent dirt and debris from
contaminating engine coolant.
Carefully clean the heat
exchanger cap and the
surrounding area before you
remove the cap.

CAUTION
For maximum engine life,
Yanmar recommends that when
shutting the engine down, you
allow the engine to idle, without
load, for 5 minutes. This will
allow the engine components
that operate at high
temperatures, such as the
turbocharger (if equipped) and
exhaust system, to cool slightly
before the engine itself is shut
down.

CAUTION
NEVER use an engine starting
aid such as ether. Engine
damage will result.
