FOREWORD
This service manual has been compiled for engineers engaged in sales, service, inspection and
maintenance. Accordingly, descriptions of the construction and functions of the engine are emphasized
in this manual, while items, which should already be common knowledge, are omitted.
One characteristic of a marine diesel engine is that its performance in a vessel is governed by the
applicability of the vessel's hull construction and its steering system.
Engine installation, fitting out and propeller selection have a substantial effect on the performance of the
engine and the vessel. Moreover, when the engine runs unevenly or when trouble occurs, it is essential
to check a wide range of operating conditions - such as installation to the full and suitability of the ship's
piping and propeller - and not just the engine itself. To get maximum performance from this engine, you
should completely understand its functions, construction and capabilities, as well as proper use and
servicing.
Use this manual as a handy reference in daily inspection and maintenance, and as a text for engineering
guidance.
Model 3JH4E has been used for the illustrations in this service manual, but they apply to other models in
the JH4 series engines.
The contents of this service manual may not be copied or

FOR SAFETY
1. SAFETY LABELS
•Most accidents are caused by negligence of basic safety rules and precautions. For accident
prevention, it is important to avoid such causes before development to accidents.
Please read this manual carefully before starting repair or maintenance to fully understand safety
precautions and appropriate inspection and maintenance procedures.
Attempting at a repair or maintenance job without sufficient knowledge may cause an unexpected
accident.
•It is impossible to cover every possible danger in repair or maintenance in the manual. Sufficient
consideration for safety is required in addition to the matters marked . Especially for
safety precautions in a repair or maintenance job not described in this manual, receive instructions
from a knowledgeable leader.
•Safety marks used in this manual and their meanings are as follows:
DANGER-indicates an imminent hazardous situation which, if
not avoided, WILL result in death or serious injury.
WARNING-indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if
not avoided, COULD result in death or serious injury.
CAUTION-indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if
not avoided, may result in minor or moderate injury.
•NOTICE - indicates that if not observed, the product performance or quality may not be
guaranteed.

2. Safety Precautions
(1) SERVICE AREA
• Sufficient Ventilation
Inhalation of exhaust fumes and dust particles may be hazardous to ones
health. Running engines welding, sanding, painting, and polishing tasks
should be only done in well ventilated areas.
• Safe / Adequate Work Area
The service area should be clean, spacious, level and free from holes in
the floor, to prevent "slip" or "trip and fall" type accidents.
• Clean, orderly arranged place
No dust, mud, oil or parts should be left on the floor surface.
[Failure to Observe]
An unexpected accident may be caused.
•Bright, Safely Illuminated Area
The work area should be well lit or illuminated in a safe manner. For work
in enclosed or dark areas, a "drop cord" should be utilized. The drop cord
must have a wire cage to prevent bulb breakage and possible ignition of
flammable substances.
•Safety Equipment
Fire extinguisher(s), first aid kit and eye wash / shower station should be
close at hand (or easily accessible) in case of an emergency.

(2) WORK - WEAR (GARMENTS)
• Safe Work Clothing
Appropriate safety wear (gloves, special shoes/boots, eye/ear protection,
head gear, harness', clothing, etc.) should be used/worn to match the task
at hand. Avoid wearing jewelry, unbuttoned cuffs, ties or loose fitting
clothes around moving machinery. A serious accident may occur if caught
in moving/rotating machinery.
(3) TOOLS
• Appropriate Lifting / Holding
When lifting an engine, use only a lifting device (crane, jack, etc.) with
sufficient lifting capacity. Do not overload the device. Use only a chain,
cable, or lifting strap as an attaching device. Do not use rope, serious
injury may result.
To hol d o r s up por t a n e ng in e, s ec ur e the en gi ne t o a su pp or t s ta nd , t est
bed or test cart designed to carry the weight of the engine. Do not
overload this device, serious injury may result
Never run an engine without being properly secured to an engine support
stand, test bed or test cart, serious injury may result.
• Appropriate Tools
Always use tools that are designed for the task at hand. Incorrect usage
of tools may result in damage to the engine and or serious personal injury.
(4) GENUINE PARTS and MATERIALS
• Genuine Parts
Always use genuine YANMAR parts or YANMAR recommended parts and
goods. Damage to the engine, shortened engine life and or personal
injury may result.
Well fitting !!

(5) FASTENER TORQUE
•Torquing Fasteners
Always follow the torque values and procedures as designated in the
service manual. Incorrect values, procedures and or tools may cause
damage to the engine and or personal injury.
(6) Electrical
• Short Circuits
Always disconnect the (-) Negative battery cable before working on the
electrical system. An accidental "short circuit" may cause damage, fire
and or personal injury. Remember to connect the (-) Negative battery
cable (back onto the battery) LAST
• Charging Batteries
Charging wet celled batteries produces hydrogen gas. Hydrogen gas is
extremely explosive. Keep sparks, open flame and any other form of
ignition away. Explosion may occur causing severe personal injury.
• Battery Electrolyte
Batteries contain sulfuric acid. Do NOT allow it to come in contact with
clothing, skin and or eyes, severe burns will result.
(7) WASTE MANAGEMENT
Observe the following instructions with regard to hazardous waste
disposal. Negligence of these will have a serious impact on environmental
pollution concerns.
1) Waste fluids such as lube oil, fuel and coolant shall be carefully put
into separate sealed containers and disposed of properly.
2) Do NOT dispose of waste materials irresponsibly by dumping them
into the sewer, overland or into natural waterways.
3) Waste materials such as oil, fuel, coolant, solvents, filter elements and
batteries, must be disposed of properly according to local ordinances.
Consult the local authorities or reclamation facility.

(8) FURTHER PRECAUTIONS
• Fueling / Refueling
Keep sparks, open flames or any other form of ignition (match, cigarette,
etc.) away when fueling/refueling the unit. Fire and or an explosion may
result.
• Hot Surfaces.
Do NOT touch the engine (or any of its components) during running or
shortly after shutting it down. Scalding / serious burns may result. Allow
the engine to cool down before attempting to approach the unit.
• Rotating Parts
Be careful around moving/rotating parts. Loose clothing, jewelry, ties or
tools may become entangled causing damage to the engine and or
severe personal injury.
• Preventing burns from scalding
1) Never open the radiator filler cap shortly after shutting the engine
down.
Steam and hot water will spurt out and seriously burn you. Allow the
engine to cool down before attempt to open the filler cap.
2) Securely tighten the filler cap after checking the radiator.
Steam can spurt out during engine running, if tightening loose.
• Safety Label Check
Pay attention to the product safety label.
A safety label (caution plate) is affixed on the product for calling special
attention to safety.
If it is missing or illegible, always affix a new one.

3. Precautions for Service Work

history of the engine.
•Preceding service date
•Period/operation hours after preceding service
•Problems and actions in preceding service
•Replacement parts expected to be required for service
•Recording form/check sheet required for service
(3) Preparation before Disassembly
•Prepare general tools, special service tools, measuring instruments, oil, grease, non-reusable parts,
and parts expected to be required for replacement.
•When disassembling complicated portions, put match-marks and other marks at places not
adversely affecting the function for easy reassembly.
(4) Precautions in Disassembly
•Each time a parts is removed, check the part installed state, deformation, damage, roughening,
surface defect, etc.
•Arrange the removed parts orderly with clear distinction between those to be replaced and those to
be used again.

1.3 Fuel oil, lubricating oil and cooling water
1.3.1 Fuel oil
IMPORTANT:
Only use the recommended fuel to obtain the best engine performance and prevent damage of parts,
also prevent air pollution.
(1) Selection of fuel oil
Use the following diesel fuels for best engine performance:
BS 2869 A1 or A2
Fuels equivalent to Japanese Industrial Standard, JIS. No. K2204-2
Fuel cetane number should be 45 or greater
(2) Fuel handling
•Water and dust in the fuel oil can cause operation
failure. Use containers which are clean inside to
store fuel oil. Store the containers away from rain
water and dust.
•Before supplying fuel, let the fuel container rest for
several hours so that water and dust in the fuel are
deposited on the bottom. Pump up only the clean
fuel.
(3) Fuel tank
Be sure to attach a drain cock, precipitation trap and
primary strainer to the fuel tank as shown illustration
right.
1.3.2 Lubricating oil
IMPORTANT:
Use of other than the specified engine oil may cause
inner parts seizure or early wear, leading to shorten
the engine service life.
(1) Selection of engine lube oil
Use the following engine oil
• API classification .........CD or better
(Standards of America Petroleum Institute)
• SAE viscosity .........10W-30, 15W-40
(Standard of Society of Automotive Engineering)
Engine oil with 10W30 can be used throughout the
year.
(Refer to the right figure.)
Pump up only the fuel
in the upper half to
leave dregs near the bottom
Filler port
Fuel return
connection
Outlet
(to engine)
Drain cock
Primar
y
strainer
Selection of viscosity
(SAE Service grade)
Atmospheric temperature ( C)
10W-30 can be used
almost throughout the year.

(2) Selection of marine gear lube oil
KM35P, KM35A2 for 3JH4E series
KM35P, KM35A2 and KM4A1 for 4JH4(B)(B4)E
Use the following engine oil
•API classification .........CD or better
(Standards of America Petroleum Institute)
• SAE viscosity ......... #20 or #30
(Standard of Society of Automotive Engineering)
Apply ATF oil to marine gear ZF30M for 4JH4FE.
(3) Selection of lube oil for Sail Drive Unit SD40
• API service grade.............GL4, 5
• SAE Viscosity...................#90 or 80W90
or QuickSilver High Performance Gear Lube
QuickSilver® is registered trademark of Brunswick Corporation.
(4) Handling of engine oil
•Carefully store and handle the oil so as to prevent dust or dirt entrance. When supplying the oil, pay
attention and clean around the filler port.
•Do not mix different types of oil as it may adversely affect the lubricating performance.
When touching engine oil by hand, the skin of the hand may become
rough. Be careful not to touch oil with your hands without protective
gloves. If touch, wash your hands with soap and water thoroughly.
1.3.3 Cooling water
Use clean soft water and be sure to add the Long Life Coolant Antifreeze (LLC) in order to prevent rust
built up and freezing. If there is any doubt over the water quality, distilled water or pre-mixed coolant
should be used.
The coolants / antifreezes, which are good performance for example, are shown below.
•lTEXACO LONG LIFE COOLANT ANTIFREEZE, both standard and pre-mixed.
Product codes 7997 and 7998
•lHAVOLINE EXTENDED LIFE ANTIFREEZE / COOLANT
Product code 7994
IMPORTANT:
•lBe sure to add Long Life Coolant Antifreeze (LLC) to soft water. In cold season, the LLC is especially
important. Without LLC, cooling performance will decrease due to scale and rust in the cooling water
line. Without LLC, cooling water will freeze and expand to break the cooling line.
•lBe sure to use the mixing ratios specified by the LLC manufacturer for your temperature range.
•lDo not mix different types (brand) of LLC, chemical reactions may make the LLC useless and engine
trouble could result.
•lReplace the cooling water every once a year.
When handling Long Life Coolant Antifreeze, wear protective rubber
gloves not to touch it. If LLC gets eyes or skin, wash with clean water at
once.
