FUNCTION OF MAJOR COMPONENTS
Name of Component Function
Fuel Filter Removes dirt and water from the fuel. Drain the filter periodically. The filter element should be
replaced periodically. The water separator (if equipped) should be drained periodically. See
Draining Fuel Filter / Water Separator on page 63.
Fuel Feed Pump Pumps fuel from the tank to the fuel injection system. Pushing the manual lever on the side of
the feed pump supplies fuel to the engine when fuel priming is needed.
Fuel Feed Lever Moving the fuel feed lever up and down feeds the fuel. The lever is used to bleed air from the
fuel system after running out of fuel.
Engine Oil Filler Port Filler port for engine oil.
Engine Oil Filter Filters fine metal fragments and carbon from the engine oil. Filtered engine oil is distributed to
the engine’s moving parts. The filter is a cartridge type and the element should be replaced
periodically. See Changing the Engine Oil on page 59.
Marine Gear Filler Port Filler port for marine gear lube oil. Located on top of the marine gear case.
Cooling System There are two cooling systems: closed cooling with coolant (fresh water) and seawater. The
engine is cooled by the closed cooling circuit. The closed circuit is cooled by seawater using
a heat exchanger.
Closed Cooling Circulation The centrifugal water pump circulates coolant inside the engine. The circulating pump is
Pump driven by a V-ribbed belt.
Seawater Pump Pumps seawater from outside vessel to the engine. The seawater pump is gear-driven and
has a replaceable rubber impeller. Do not operate it without seawater, as this will damage the
impeller.
Coolant Filler Cap The filler cap on the heat exchanger / coolant tank covers the water supply port. The cap has
a pressure regulating valve. When the cooling water temperature rises, the pressure rises
inside the coolant system.
Reservoir The pressure valve in the filler cap releases vapor and hot water overflow to the reservoir.
When the engine stops and the coolant cools, the pressure in the coolant tank drops. The filler
cap vacuum valve then opens to send water back from the reservoir. This minimizes coolant
consumption. The closed cooling system coolant level can easily be checked and refilled in
this tank.
Intake Silencer (Air Cleaner) The intake silencer guards against dirt in the air and reduces the noise of air intake.
Nameplates Nameplates are provided on the engine and the marine gear and have the model, serial
number and other data. See Nameplates on page 14
Starter Starter motor for the engine; powered by the battery.
Alternator Driven by a belt and generates electricity and charges the battery.
Engine Oil Dipstick Gauge stick for checking the engine oil level.

maintenance checks. The hourmeter is located at the bottom of the
tachometer.

Indicators and Alarms (Optional)

When a sensor detects a problem during operation, the indicator on the instrument panel
will light and an alarm will sound. Indicators are located on the instrument panel and the
alarms are located on the back of the panel. Under normal operating conditions, the
indicators are off.
Battery Low Charge Indicator

When the alternator output is too low, the indicator will light. When
charging begins, the indicator will turn off.
Coolant High Temperature Indicator and Alarm

When coolant temperature reaches the maximum allowable temperature
(95°C [203°F] or higher), the indicator will light and the alarm will sound.
Continuing operation at temperatures exceeding the maximum limit will
result in damage and seizure. Check the load and troubleshoot the
cooling system.
Engine Oil Low Pressure Indicator and Alarm

When the engine oil pressure falls below normal, the oil pressure sensor
will send a signal to the indicator, causing it to light and the alarm to
sound. Stop operation to avoid damage to the engine. Check the oil level
and troubleshoot the lubrication system.
Water in Sail Drive Seal Indicator and Alarm

When water is detected between the seals of the sail drive, the indicator
will light and the alarm will sound.

Checking the Warning Devices

Before and after engine start, make sure that the instruments and warning devices operate
correctly.
If the engine runs out of coolant or lubricating oil and the instruments and warning devices
fail, they can not give you warning to prevent accidents. This can also lead to incorrect
operation and cause further malfunctions of the engine.
Before Engine Start
1. Turn on the battery switch.
2. Push the power switch on.
• All alarm lamps light up for 4 seconds.
• After 4 seconds, the charge lamp and the lubricating oil pressure alarm lamp light up,
and the hourmeter is displayed.
• The alarm buzzer sounds until the engine starts.
After Engine Start

After engine start, make sure that the warning devices operate correctly and according to
“After start” in the below table.
• All alarm lamps turn off. The above check tells you whether the electric circuit for the
warning lamps and alarm buzzer operate correctly. If they do not operate correctly,
inspection and repair are required. Consult your dealer or distributor for repairs.

The instructions for the proper installation

addition to those specified above in the
quoted federal regulation, are as follows:
1. The connection should be located as
far downstream as reasonably
practicable from any sharp bend (of 30
degrees or more) in the exhaust pipe to
help ensure that a well-mixed exhaust
flow sample may be taken;
2. The requirement that the connection be
located before any point at which the
exhaust contacts water (or any other
cooling/scrubbing medium) does not
include contact with water used to cool
exhaust manifolds, unless the water is
allowed to come into direct contact with
the exhaust gases;
3. To allow ready access to the sample
port, the connection should be located,
if possible given the constraints of
vessel design, approximately 0.6 to 1.8
m (2 to 6 ft) above a deck or walkway;

SCHEDULE
Daily and periodic maintenance is
important to keep the engine in good
operating condition. The following is a
summary of maintenance items by periodic
maintenance intervals. Periodic
maintenance intervals vary depending on
engine application, loads, diesel fuel and
engine oil used and are hard to establish
definitively. The following should be treated
only as a general guideline.
NOTICE
Establish a periodic maintenance plan
according to the engine application and
make sure to perform the required periodic
maintenance at the intervals indicated.
Failure to follow these guidelines will
impair the engine’s safety and
performance characteristics, shorten the
engine’s life and may affect the warranty
coverage on your engine.
