What do the Japanese stickers say?

Ever wondered what those Japanese symbols on your tractor mean? Rich got the one for 2WD-4WD translated.<A target="_blank" HREF=http://www.tractorbynet.com/forumfiles/49-140237-Fwd.jpg> Front wheel drive sticker</A> Anyone got any more?

I send a scan of the Japanese text that was near the fuel cap on my 1610D to a Japanese friend to translate. I guess I wanted a translation because some of it was in red, indicating some kind of warning. Her response
was as follows:

Dear Eric

Thank you for buying our Japanese product !
Regarding translation,
The first line says No Fire
The second says specific fuels you have to use
The third and fourth line says
light oil for diesel or Yanmar's(the name of the tractor company) heavy oil

"You are lucky you didn't buy an ORANGE tractor"
"this tractor was driven in a rice paddy by a little old lady on Saturdays only"

I have a Japanese neighbor who has offered to translate anything for me. i have not been up to see him about it but plan to. I've heard that it can be difficult in some cases to translate if you don't have a mechanical background because some words have other meanings.
If someone has a particular request - let me know and I'll see what I can get for you.

Mike,
I could take pictures all day of the stickers on my Yanmar. Do you know what you just signed up for??? /w3tcompact/icons/laugh.gif

Inspector - It could get ugly, but I'd still try. If it gets overwhelming I'll take bribes!!! Or my neighbor may say enough!
I noticed in my 195-330 operators manual that very similar stickers (warning mostly) are in the same place as the greys and likely say the same thing. The example cited earlier matches the sticker on the US models.
Funny thing - on my 2210D - some items have english labels - all the warning lights, key switch, gas guage, and of course allumbers are arabic.

I noticed that one sticker on the hood has a telephone number embedded in it. Wonder who I'd get to answer if I called?
