Manuals for Nissan Diesel Engines

Nissan started as Nihon Diesel Industries in Kawaguchi, near Toyko, Japan, in 1935 making two-stroke diesel motors. The company was renamed Nissan Diesel Motor Co. in 1960 and focused on making trucks. Volvo took over the company in 2007, though Nissan continued as a separate division and changing the name in 2010 to UD Trucks. In late 2019, Volvo signed a non-binding Memorandum of Agreement that would see the company eventually transferred to Isuzu.

3 simple steps to make your diesel system reliable and robust

STEP ONE  - Get the manuals for your equipment

The manuals on this page are provided for public information and education and can be downloaded for free.  All copyrights belong to copyright holders stated in the documents.

congratulations - by downloading these free manuals you are taking an important step towards making your engine more reliable and robust.


 

STEP TWO - regular maintenance

Simple, regular maintenance is the easiest, quickest and cheapest way to avoid problems and accelerated engine wear. Most expensive repairs start from a lack of basic maintenance or ignoring small warnings. The work is not difficult - it just needs to be done.

The purpose is so that we can enjoy our boat for all the reasons we bought her. Trust yourself. Do the work regularly and be methodical.
