PRECAUTIONS DURING
OPERATION
Always check for problems during engine
operation.
1. Is sufficient seawater being discharged
from the seawater outlet?
If the discharge is too little, stop the
engine immediately and correct the
problem.
2. Is the exhaust color normal?
The continuous emission of black
smoke indicates engine overloading.
This shortens engine life and should be
avoided.
3. Be aware of any abnormal vibration and
unusual engine noises. NEVER
operate at speeds that produce violent
vibrations. Depending on the hull
structure, engine and hull resonance
may become great at a certain speed
range. Avoid operating in this range.
Stop the engine and inspect any
unusual engine noise.
4. Ensure that there are no warning
indicators active. If an indicator
activates during operation, lower the
engine speed immediately, check the
indicator and stop the engine for
repairs.
5. Check for any water, oil or fuel leaks.
Check the engine room periodically.
WARNING! NEVER check for a fuel
leak with your hands. ALWAYS use
a piece of wood or cardboard. Have
your authorized Yanmar Marine
dealer or distributor repair the
damage. Avoid skin contact with the
high-pressure diesel fuel spray
caused by a fuel system leak such
as a broken fuel injection line. High-
pressure fuel can penetrate your
skin and result in serious injury. If
you are exposed to high-pressure
fuel spray, obtain prompt medical
treatment.
6. Is there sufficient fuel in the tank?
Replenish fuel in advance to avoid
running out of fuel during operation.
7. When operating the engine at low
speed for long periods of time, race the
engine once every two hours. Race the
engine with the clutch in NEUTRAL,
accelerate from the low speed position
to the high speed position and repeat
this process about five times. This
cleans out carbon from the cylinders
and the fuel injection valves.
NOTICE: Never turn OFF the battery
switch or spark the battery during
operation. Damage to electrical parts
will result.
