Safety Precautions
NOTICE
Make sure the engine is installed on a level surface.
If a continuously running engine is installed at an
angle greater than (IDI = 25°, DI = 30°) in any
direction or if an engine runs for short periods of
time (less than three minutes) at an angle greater
than (IDI = 30°, DI = 35°) in any direction, engine oil
may enter the combustion chamber causing
excessive engine speed and white exhaust smoke.
This may cause serious engine damage.
NOTICE
Observe the following environmental operating
conditions to maintain engine performance and
avoid premature engine wear:
• Avoid operating in extremely dusty conditions.
• Avoid operating in the presence of chemical
gases or fumes.
• Avoid operating in a corrosive atmosphere such
as salt water spray.
• Never install the engine in a floodplain unless
proper precautions are taken to avoid being
subject to a flood.
• Never expose the engine to the rain.
NOTICE
Observe the following environmental operating
conditions to maintain engine performance and
avoid premature engine wear:
• The standard range of ambient temperatures for
the normal operation of YANMAR engines is from
+5 °F (-15 °C) to +113 °F (+45 °C).
• If the ambient temperature e113 °F (+45
°C) the engine may overheat and cause the
engine oil to break down.
• If the ambient temperature is below +5 °F (-15 °C)
the engine will be hard to start and the engine oil
may not flow easily.
• Contact your authorized YANMAR industrial
engine dealer or distributor if the engine will be
operated outside of this standard temperature
range.
NOTICE
The illustrations and descriptions of optional
equipment in this manual, such as the operator’s
console, are for a typical engine installation. Refer
to the documentation supplied by the optional
equipment manufacturer for specific operation and
maintenance instructions.
NOTICE
If any indicator illuminates during engine operation,
stop the engine immediately. Determine the cause
and repair the problem before you continue to
operate the engine.
