Part of the Yanmar Repair Manuals.
Need the factory repair procedures for your Yanmar excavator? This 448-page Yanmar b22-2 service manual pdf (OEM #17197020) breaks down every mechanical and electrical system on the B22-2 and B22-2A models. Inside, you get complete hydraulic schematics to trace fluid routing, full wiring diagrams, and a massive troubleshooting section to track down stubborn operational faults. Open the file to step-by-step teardown instructions for the engine, undercarriage, and pilot valves, backed by clear exploded views and periodic inspection schedules. Lock down the final drive sprocket bolts to 8.0-10.0 kgf-m, then run the engine at medium speed for 10 to 15 minutes to properly bleed the hydraulic circuit after a rebuild. Quit tearing apart components blindly. Grab this bookmarked download, open it on your tablet right in the dirt, and get your machine digging again.

Yanmar B22-2, B22-2A Common Problems This Manual Covers
Yanmar B22-2 and B22-2A hydraulic functions slow, jerky, or noisy after warm-up.
Inspect the hydraulic fluid level and bleed air from the circuit on page 14. Operate the engine at medium speed and activate the respective circuit for 10~15 minutes. Extend and retract the cylinder slowly 4 to 5 times up to 50~100mm from each stroke end.
Manual Section: 1 General Cautions for Maintenance Work p. 14Machine drifts on slopes or track skips over the drive sprocket under heavy load.
Lift either side of the track using the boom. Measure the clearance between the second track roller and track tread on page 350. Adjust the rubber track tension to 8~13mm. Torque the sprocket bolts to 8.0~10.0 kgf-m if they are loose.
Manual Section: 6 Adjustment Procedures for Each Equipment p. 350Engine overheats quickly under heavy digging load or coolant leaks rapidly from the radiator hoses.
Inspect all coolant hoses for dry rot and verify the fan belt tension daily. Test the thermostat in heated water. Replace the unit if it fails to reach its full opening temperature of 85°C as specified on page 73.
Manual Section: 4 Engine p. 73Left side travel or boom swing function weak, dead, or only works intermittently.
Verify the hydraulic line routing matches the schematic. Inspect the pilot valve and control valve circuits. Check all hose clamps at the boom rear on page 42 and tighten them to 4.5~6.0 kgf-m to prevent pressure loss and ensure correct fluid delivery.
Manual Section: Hydraulic System (Swing/Travel) p. 42Frequently Asked Questions
How do I reset the hydraulic system?
The hydraulic system can be reset by air-venting after disassembly or parts replacement. This involves pouring hydraulic oil into the tank, loosening the bleeder port plug of the pump (tighten to 1.9~2.3 kgf-m after venting), and then operating the engine at medium speed for 10-15 minutes to bleed each component. For hydraulic cylinders, extend and retract slowly 4-5 times up to 50-100mm from each stroke end, then fully extend and retract 3-4 times. p. 14
How quickly can I access this Yanmar B22-2, B22-2A manual after buying?
Immediate download of the complete 448-page searchable Service Manual (11 MB). Access it on any device, from a laptop at your desk to a phone in the field.
Are there any print restrictions on this Yanmar B22-2, B22-2A manual?
Yes, print as many copies as you want, and there are no restrictions. Many mechanics print the section they need and bring it to the shop floor.
Are there wiring harness diagrams in this Yanmar B22-2, B22-2A manual?
Yes, full electrical schematics are included with wire colors, connector locations, and circuit descriptions.
