The YTOG has the only available manual as,
YANMAR AF15 AF16 AF17 AF18 OPERATIONS MANUAL 1W3008-11992A 059510-0163S.pdf
It is in Japanese as your model is a gray market machine.
You can easily have it translated into English.
Take a screen snip on a computer, past it into Google translate image to English text.
Example from the manual,
And . . .

Well thanks,
I couldn't find you link you mentioned, but some how I found a manual directory and I found a PDF manual of the AF-16. (Placed by bmaverick ;-) )
My next step will be to translate the manual. Does anyone have practical tips to translate such a pdf manual to English? There must be a best-practice experience here in this group.

For manual translation, I typically take a snip on my laptop and past it in the Google translate image to English text.
The AF16 has the U.F.O. 3-point controls.
I would strong recommend translating the entire section for it.
If the controls are bumped or messed with, it's not easy getting the system back to where you need it due to the Japanese writing on the control plate.
I you have decals or ID plates on the AF16, take a pic and uploaded it to the same translator.
