Indicators

Battery - (Figure 5, (1)) - Your driven machinemay have a battery indicator that comes on ifthere is a problem in the charging system. Thisindicator does not indicate whether the battery isdischarged. See Troubleshooting Chart on

page 79 .Heat - If your engine has an inlet air heater, it mayhave a heat indicator that lights when the inlet airheater is activated. Follow the instructionsprovided by the driven machine manufacturer forthe operation of this indicator.

Controls

Key Switch

If your engine is equipped with electric start it

may have a three position key switch - OFF, ON,and START. See Figure 5 for an illustration of atypical key switch.

Figure 5 

OFF (key straight up and down) (Figure 5, (2)) -When you turn the key to this position the engine

shuts down. Electric current to the batteryindicator and other electric devices is shut off.You can insert and remove the key in thisposition.

ON (Figure 5, (3)) - This is the position the keywill be in when the engine is running. When theengine is not running, use this position toenergize the optional devices such as indicatorsor electric fuel pump.

START (Figure 5, (4)) - Turn the key to thisposition to start the engine. As soon as theengine starts, release the key and it willautomatically return to the ON position. Some keyswitches may be equipped with a feature thatprevents you from turning the key to the START

position while the engine is running. In theseconfigurations, you cannot turn the key to theSTART position without first returning the key tothe OFF position.

CAUTIONFor maximum engine life, Yanmar recommends that when shutting theengine down, you allow the engine toidle, without load, for 5 minutes. Thiswill allow the engine components thatoperate at high temperatures, such as

exhaust system, to cool slightly beforethe engine itself is shut down.

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.

(b) Wait at least 30 seconds before youattempt to start the engine again. Thispause will allow the battery voltage torecover to prevent damage to the startermotor due to the low battery voltage.

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.

• During the break-in period, check theengine oil levels frequently.

PERIODIC MAINTENANCE

54 L-N Operation Manual

CAUTIONObserve the following environmentaloperating conditions to maintain engineperformance and avoid prematureengine wear:

• NEVER run the engine if the ambienttemperature is above +40°C or below -10°C

If the ambient temperature exceeds+40°C the engine may overheat andcause the engine oil to break down.

If the ambient temperature fallsbelow -10°C rubber componentssuch as gaskets and seals willharden causing premature enginewear and damage.

Contact your authorized Yanmarindustrial engine dealer ordistributor if the engine will beoperated in either temperatureextreme.

• Contact your authorized Yanmarindustrial engine dealer or distributorif you need to operate the engine athigh altitudes. At high altitudes theengine will lose power, run rough, andproduce exhaust gases that exceedthe design specifications.

0000065enLN

CAUTIONNEVER hold the key in the STARTposition for longer than 15 seconds orthe starter motor will overheat.

0000007en

CAUTIONFor maximum engine life, Yanmar recommends that when shutting theengine down, you allow the engine toidle, without load, for 5 minutes. Thiswill allow the engine components that

operate at high temperatures, such asexhaust system, to cool slightly beforethe engine itself is shut down.

0000008en

CAUTIONNEVER use an engine starting aid suchas ether. Engine damage will result.

0000009en

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 oil

pressure. These may cause seriousengine damage.

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.

7. Protect the air cleaner, muffler and electricalcomponents (dynamo, starter motor,switches) from water and dust.

8. Disconnect the negative (-) battery cable toprevent the battery from discharging.

9. Check the battery fluid and add distilled water

as required.

10. Charge the battery once a month duringstorage.

11. Clean the engine and store it in a dry place.
