CAUTION
NEVER hold the key in the START
position for longer than 15 seconds or
the starter motor will overheat.

CAUTION
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.

CAUTION
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

CAUTION
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 exceeds
+113°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.
