Figure 2. Engine Controls and Components
The engine shown above is a
YANMAR L48V6
engine (Figure 2).
The engine must be checked for proper lubrication and filled
with fuel prior to operation. Refer to the manufacturer’s engine
manual for instructions and details of operation and servicing.
Each component is described below:
1. Fuel Filler Cap – Remove this cap to add unleaded
gasoline to the fuel tank. Make sure cap is tightened
securely. DO NOT over fill.
Operating the engine without
an air filter, with a damaged
air filter, or a filter in need of
replacement will allow dirt to
enter the engine, causing
rapid engine wear.
Adding fuel to the tank should be done only
when the engine is stopped and has had an
opportunity to cool down. In the event of a fuel
spill, DO NOT attempt to start the engine until
the fuel residue has been completely wiped
up, and the area surrounding the engine is dry.
NOTE
CAUTION - Fueling The Engine
3. Air Cleaner – Prevents dirt and other debris from entering
the fuel system. Remove wing-nut on top of air filter
cannister to gain access to filter element.

starting method.

grip until resistance is felt, then pull briskly and smoothly.
7. Oil Filler Cap / Dipstick – Remove this cap to add oil to the
engine crankcase. Read dipstick to determine if oil level is
low. DO NOT over fill.
