4. Maintenance & Inspection {3) Adju s ting the Remote Control Cable The various control levers on the engine side are connected to the remote control Battery fluid is diluted sulfuric acid. It can blind you or burn your eyes or skin. Wear goggles and gloves when handling lever by the remote co ntrol cabl e. The cable will become s tr etched and the attachments loose a ft er long hours of use causing deviation. It is dangerous to control operation under these conditions, and the remote control cable must be checked and adjusted periodically. battery fluid . Should the fluid be deposited on your skin , wash with a large quantity of fresh water and seek treatment from a doctor.
1) If operation continues with insufficient battery fluid, the battery will be destroyed. Check the fluid level periodically. If the level is lower than specified, resupply battery fluid (available in the market) up to the upper limit of the battery. (Battery fluid tends to eva por ate in high temperatures, especially in summer. In A) Adjusting the Governor Remote Control Cable Check to see that the control lever on the engine side moves to the high speed bolt position and low speed bolt position when the remote control lever is moved to H(high speed) and L(low speed) respectively. When there is deviation, loosen the bracket for the remote control cable on the engine side and adjust.
Adjust the high speed bolt position first and then adj ust the low speed idling. such cases, inspect the battery earlier than specified.) 2) If the engine speed will not rise and the engine cannot be started, measure the specific gravity with a pycnometre (avail- able in the market). The specific gravity of the fluid when fully charged is over 1.27(at 20° C). B) Adjusting the Clutch Remote Control Cable Check to see that the control lever moves to the correct position when the remote Fluid with a specific gravity of below 1.24 needs charging. If the specific gravity cannot be raised by charging, the battery must be replaced. control handle is put in NEUTRAL, FORWARD, REVERS E.
Use the NEUTRAL position as the stand- ard for adjustment. When there is devia- tion, loosen the bracket for the remote control cable on the clutch side and adjust. 1 ~ 1 The capa ci tie s of the standard alternator and the recommended battery assume only the power necessary for regular operat ion . If the power is also used for inboard lighting or other purpos- es, the generating and charging capacities may be insufficient. In such cases , con s ult your Yanmar dealer or di s tributor. (4) Electric Operation A WARNING Before inspecting the electrical system, be sure either to turn off the battery switch or to disconnect the (-) terminal of the earth cab le.
Otherwise , a short - circuit could c ause a fire. Ensure good ventilation when charging the battery. The use of open flames is strictly prohibited . Hydrogen gas may also catch fire. 38
