Part of the Yanmar Operator Manuals.
A cooling fresh water alarm lighting at 95 degrees C, halfway through a run under load, is not the moment to guess which lamp means what or where the countermeasure table lives. This operation manual for the Yanmar 6CXM-GTE six-cylinder marine diesel (publication 49961-204671) covers the engine from daily checks to shutdown: supplying fuel, lube oil, and cooling water, starting and stopping procedure, reading the instrument panel and alarm devices, and the periodic inspection schedule from the first 50 hours out to every 1000 hours.
The maintenance chapter holds the numbers you actually reach for at the engine: 15W40 lube oil in a 22 liter pan (8 liters effective), 8 to 10 mm of give at the V-belt depression, fuel filter torque of 1.2 to 1.6 kg-m, and seawater pump impeller replacement every 2000 hours.
All 44 pages arrive as a 3.97 MB PDF with 35 bookmarks, so the jump from a lit alarm lamp to the matching countermeasure is one click, and any page prints clean for the engine room.
