INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE
6LT Series Operation Manual
43
MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE
1) Fuel compliant with standard EN 590 (sulfur content less than 10 ppm) and/or ASTM D975 (sulfur content less than 15 ppm)
2) Minimum specifications of engine oil: compliant with standard ACEA E7 and/or API CI-4. Degree of viscosity: see the table on the page 28.
3) Engine coolant standard solution: organic base compliant with specifications ASTM D6210 Type 1-FF. If concentrated products are used, they
must be mixed 50% with water. Original Yanmar products are recommended.
4) The anode must be replaced if the corrosion has affected more than 50% of the volume of zinc.
5) Seawater/combustion air heat exchanger: clean both the air and water section; seawater/engine coolant exchanger: clean the seawater section;
seawater/oil exchanger: clean the seawater section.
