Bio-Diesel Fuels
In Europe and in the United States, as well assome other countries, non-mineral oil based fuelresources such as RME (Rapeseed Methyl Ester)and SOME (Soybean Methyl Ester), collectivelyknown as FAME (Fatty Acid Methyl Esters), arebeing used as extenders for mineral oil deriveddiesel fuels.
Yanmar approves the use of bio-diesel fuels thatdo not exceed a blend of 5% (by volume) ofFAME with 95% (by volume) of approved mineraloil derived diesel fuel. Such bio-diesel fuels areknown in the marketplace as B5 diesel fuels.
These B5 diesel fuels must meet certainrequirements.
1. The bio-fuels must meet the minimumspecifications for the country in which theyare used.
• In Europe, bio-diesel fuels must comply withthe European Standard EN14214.
• In the United States, bio-diesel fuels mustcomply with the American Standard ASTMD-6751.
2. Bio-fuels should be purchased only fromrecognized and authorized diesel fuelsuppliers.
Precautions and concerns regarding the useof bio-fuels:
1. Free methanol in FAME may result incorrosion of aluminum and zinc FIEcomponents.
2. Free water in FAME may result in plugging offuel filters and increased bacterial growth.

CHECK THE ENGINE DURINGOPERATION
CAUTIONMake sure the engine is installed on alevel surface. If a continuously runningengine is installed at an angle greaterthan 20° (in any direction) or if an engineruns for short periods of time (less than3 minutes) at an angle greater than 25°in any direction, engine oil may enter thecombustion chamber causing exessiveengine speed and generate white smokeand also may occur unsatisfactory oilpressure. These may cause seriousengine damage.
0000010enTNE
CAUTIONNew Engine Break In:
• On the initial engine start-up, allow theengine to idle for approximately 15minutes while you check for properengine oil pressure, diesel fuel leaks,engine oil leaks, and for properoperation of the indicators and / orgauges.
• During the first hour of operation, varythe engine speed and the load on theengine. Short periods of maximumengine speed and load are desirable.Avoid prolonged operation atminimum or maximum engine speedsand loads for the next 100 hours.
• During the break-in period, carefullyobserve the engine oil pressure andengine temperature.

PRECAUTIONS
The Importance of PeriodicMaintenance
Engine deterioration and wear occurs inproportion to length of time the engine has been
in service and the conditions the engine is subjectto during operation. Periodic maintenanceprevents unexpected downtime, reduces thenumber of accidents due to poor machineperformance and helps extend the life of theengine.
Performing Periodic Maintenance
Perform periodic maintenance procedures in anopen, level area free from traffic. If possible,perform the procedures indoors to preventenvironmental conditions, such as rain, wind, orsnow, from damaging the machine.
The Importance of Daily Checks
Periodic Maintenance Schedules assume that thedaily checks are performed on a regular basis.Make it a habit of performing daily checks beforethe start of each shift. See Daily Checks onpage 29 .
Keep a Log of Engine Hours andDaily Checks
Keep a log of the number of hours the engine isrun each day and a log of the daily checksperformed. Also note the date, type of repair(e.g., replaced alternator), and parts needed forany service needed between the periodicmaintenance intervals. Periodic maintenanceintervals are every 50, 200, 400, 1000, 1500 and2000 engine hours. Failure to perform periodic
maintenance will shorten the life of the engine.
Yanmar Replacement Parts
Yanmar recommends that you use genuineYanmar parts when replacement parts areneeded. Genuine replacement parts help ensurelong engine life.
Tools Required
Before you start any periodic maintenanceprocedure make sure you have the tools you
need to perform all of the required tasks.
Ask Your Authorized YanmarIndustrial Engine Dealer orDistributor For Help
Our professional service technicians have theexpertise and skills to help you with anymaintenance or service related procedures youneed help with.
A WARNING
EXHAUST HAZARD!
• NEVER operate the engine in an
enclosed area such as a garage,tunnel, underground room, manhole orship’s hold without proper ventilation.
• NEVER block windows, vents, or othermeans of ventilation if the engine is
operating in an enclosed area. Allinternal combustion engines createcarbon monoxide gas duringoperation. Accumulation of this gaswithin an enclosure could causeillness or even death.
• Make sure that all connections aretightened to specifications after repairis made to the exhaust system.
• Failure to comply could result in deathor serious injury.

4. Recoil start engines:
(a) Push the decompression lever down andhold it while slowly pulling the recoil starter2 or 3 times. Do not start the engine.
(b) Pull the decompression lever up. Pull therecoil starter slowly and stop when there is
resistance. This procedure closes theintake and exhaust valves in thecompression position and helps preventrust.
5. Electric start engines:
(a) Set the decompression lever at the non-compression position. Do not move thespeed control lever to the START or RUNposition.
(b) Turn the key to the start position and turnthe engine for 2 to 3 seconds. Do not start
the engine.
(c) Pull the decompression lever up.
6. Drain the fuel tank or make sure it iscompletely full.
