SAFETY STATEMENTS

Yanmar is concerned for your safety and your 
machine’s condition. Safety statements are one 
of the primary ways to call your attention to the 
potential hazards associated with Yanmar LV 
Series engine operation. Follow the precautions 
listed throughout the manual before operation, 
during operation and during periodic 
maintenance procedures for your safety, the 
safety of others and to protect the performance of 
your engine. Keep the labels from becoming dirty 
or torn and replace them if they are lost or 
damaged. Also, if you need to replace a part that 
has a label attached to it, make sure you order 
the new part and label at the same time.

 DANGER

EXPLOSION HAZARD!

• Keep the area around the battery well 

ventilated. While the engine is running 
or the battery is charging, hydrogen 
gas is produced which can be easily 
ignited.

• Keep sparks, open flame and any other 

form of ignition away.

component to perform maintenance 
(such as changing the fuel filter) place 
an approved container under the 
opening to catch the fuel.

• NEVER use a shop rag to catch the 

fuel. Vapors from the rag are extremely 
flammable and explosive.

is under pressure and fuel could spray 
out when you remove any fuel system 
component.

 DANGER

FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARD!

• Diesel fuel is extremely flammable and 

explosive under certain conditions.

• Be sure to place the diesel fuel 

container on the ground when 
transferring the diesel fuel from the 
pump to the container. Hold the hose 
nozzle firmly against the side of the 
container while filling it. This prevents 
static electricity build-up which could 
cause sparks and ignite fuel vapors.

• NEVER place diesel fuel or other 

flammable material such as oil, hay or 
dried grass close to the engine during 
engine operation or shortly after shut 
down.

• Failure to comply will result in death or 

serious injury.

 DANGER

FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARD!

• Diesel fuel is extremely flammable and 

explosive under certain conditions.

for fuel leaks. Replace rubberized fuel 
hoses every two years or every 2000 
hours of engine operation, whichever 
comes first, even if the engine has 
been out of service. Rubberized fuel 
lines tend to dry out and become 
brittle after two years or 2000 hours of 
engine operation, whichever comes 
first.

• Failure to comply will result in death or 

serious injury.

 DANGER

EXPLOSION HAZARD!

• NEVER check the remaining battery 

charge by shorting out the terminals. 
This will result in a spark and may 
cause an explosion or fire. Use a 
hydrometer to check the remaining 
battery charge.

• If the electrolyte is frozen, slowly warm 

the battery before you recharge it.

• Failure to comply will result in death or 

serious injury.
