Yanmar B7-SIGMA (EP) Common Problems This Manual Covers
Yanmar B7-SIGMA ground speed is slow in both speeds and machine is not moving straight.
Inspect the rubber crawler tension clearance as detailed on page 168. Adjust the track sag until the clearance H measures exactly between 0.8 to 1.0 in. Check the travel motor for mud buildup and verify all track shoes are completely clear of debris before operating.
Manual Section: Machine body troubleshooting p. 168Low hydraulic fluid indicated by red ball not floating near top of reservoir sight glass.
Check the tank sight glass during daily checks. Refill the reservoir with ISO VG46 hydraulic oil to the standard level. Drain and replace the entire 15.05 Gals. (57 L) system capacity if the oil has exceeded 1000 hours of standard excavator operation.
Manual Section: Daily checks before start-upStarter motor not starting or turning over slowly with dim lamps in cold weather conditions.
Verify the battery voltage and electrolyte levels. Ensure any replacement battery matches the factory 12V, 92Ah capacity requirement listed in technical specifications on page 213. Check the generator output to confirm it provides a steady 12V, 40A charge during operation.
Manual Section: Engine and electrical equipment troubleshooting p. 213Water temperature alarm sounds and steam escapes from the radiator during heavy digging operations.
Stop the machine immediately and let the engine cool. Inspect the coolant hose clamps for breakage or dry rot. Review the troubleshooting procedures for persistent overheating faults. Verify the fan belt tension and check radiator fins for blockages during daily maintenance routines.
