CAUTION
0000005en
• Only use the engine oil specified.
Other engine oils may affect warranty
coverage, cause internal engine
components to seize, or shorten
engine life.
• Prevent dirt and debris from
contaminating 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.
CAUTION
0000006en
• Only use the engine coolant specified.
Other engine coolants may affect
warranty coverage, cause an internal
build up of rust and scale and / or
shorten engine life.
• Prevent dirt and debris from
contaminating engine coolant.
Carefully clean the radiator cap and
the surrounding area before you
remove the cap.
• NEVER mix different types of engine
coolants. This may adversely affect the
properties of the engine coolant.
CAUTION
0000015en
• NEVER overfill the engine with engine
oil.
• ALWAYS keep the oil level between
upper and lower lines on the dipstick.
CAUTION
0000008en
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
0000009en
NEVER use an engine starting aid such
as ether. Engine damage will result.
CAUTION
0000013en
Be responsible to the environment.
Follow these procedures for hazardous
waste disposal. Failure to follow these
procedures may seriously harm the
environment.
• Follow the guidelines of the EPA or
other governmental agency for the
proper disposal of hazardous
materials such as engine oil, diesel
fuel and engine coolant. Consult the
local authorities or reclamation facility.
• NEVER dispose of hazardous
materials irresponsibly by dumping
them into a sewer, on the ground or
into ground water or waterways.
