Yanmar C20R Common Problems This Manual Covers
Yanmar C20R crawler carrier engine cranks slowly or will not start in cold weather p. 31
Inspect the battery condition and terminals. Verify you have a 46B24L-MF battery rated for 12-36 V-Ah on page 8. Clean corroded posts and torque the over nuts to 0.8~1.2 kgf·m as shown on page 31. Test the starter motor output to confirm it hits 12-1.0 V-kW.
Manual Section: General Torque SpecificationsTrack drive feels imbalanced and machine pulls to one side during travel operation p. 23
Measure clutch plate thickness to determine if friction material is worn. Replace the clutch assembly if thickness falls below the 1.0 mm wear limit A indicated on page 23. Check the brake bands for oil contamination and bleed air from the travel circuit to restore even response.
Manual Section: Power Train Equipment Servicing StandardsSlow hydraulic response and visible oil leakage around the pump and control lines p. 32
Check the hydraulic oil level and add Yanmar super royal oil SAE 10W-30 if below the 14 l capacity limit noted on page 14. Inspect all line connections for leaks. Torque any loose 1/4 inch hydraulic hoses to 2.5 kgf·m according to the specs on page 32.
Manual Section: General Torque SpecificationsRubber tracks skip over the sprocket and feel loose during heavy load dumping p. 25
Verify the undercarriage component wear. Replace the rubber track if the tread depth reaches the 8 mm wear limit A found on page 25. Adjust track tension and torque the idler fixing nut to 35.0~45.0 kgf·m as specified on page 31 to prevent future slippage.
Manual Section: Undercarriage Servicing StandardsEngine misfires and lacks power when climbing steep grades under full load conditions p. 21
Remove the valve cover and check intake valve clearance on a cold engine. Adjust the clearance to 0.15~0.25 mm using the values on page 21. Check the paper type element fuel filter for restrictions and verify total engine displacement matches the 879 cc specification on page 7.
