Manual Section: After OperationFrequently Asked Questions
How do I reset the YANMAR EF312T/EF352T PTO or safety interlock?
If the engine is hard to start because the PTO shift lever is not in neutral, the remedy is to set the lever to neutral. This action effectively resets the safety interlock that prevents the engine from starting when the PTO is engaged. Ensure the PTO shift lever is in the "N" position before starting the engine.
How do I reset the YANMAR EF312T/EF352T transmission or shuttle shift after a fault?
If the engine is hard to start because the reverser lever is not in neutral, the remedy is to set the lever to neutral. This action ensures the transmission's safety interlock is disengaged, allowing the engine to start. Always ensure the reverser lever is in the "N" position before starting the engine.
What does the warning light or indicator code mean on a YANMAR EF312T/EF352T?
The manual describes several pilot lamps: the Battery charge pilot lamp (5) lights when the key is ON and should turn off when the engine starts; if it doesn't turn off at 1500rpm or higher, see your dealer. The Engine oil pressure pilot lamp (6) lights when the key is ON and should go off when the engine starts; if it doesn't, stop the engine immediately and check the oil level. The Reverser lever neutral pilot lamp (7) lights when the reverser lever is in the "N" position.
What are the torque specs for the YANMAR EF312T/EF352T wheel lug nuts?
The tightening torque for the wheel hub bolts and nuts is specified. For the front wheel, the torque is 118 to 147Nm (12 to 15kgf-m). For the rear wheel, the torque is 177 to 196Nm (18 to 20kgf-m).
What are the replacement specifications for fuel filter?
The fuel filter should be replaced every 300 hours of operation. It is important to use a genuine filter, as the engine fuel injector has very fine holes, and low filtering efficiency may cause engine trouble.
