Yanmar LIGHT BOY LB446HB-1, LB446H-1 Common Problems This Manual Covers
Yanmar Light BOY LB446HB-1 engine starts and runs smoothly but the lamps will not light up. p. 78
Check the cable connections and measure the non-load voltage at the plug housings. Verify the output is between AC 230 to 250 V as shown on page 53. Inspect the lamp assemblies and replace any faulty bulbs using part number 1-3010010-10. Wait for hot lamps to cool before resetting breakers.
Manual Section: 10. TroubleshootingWinch binds during operation and the mast cannot be raised or lowered. p. 33
Inspect the mast sliding surface and winch winding mechanism. Check wire ropes for damage and verify the safety stopper function. If removing the lighting unit during repairs, torque the M16 assembly nut to 115 to 155 N-m (11.5 to 16 kgf-m) as specified on page 33.
Manual Section: 4. Disassembly and AssemblyFan motor fails to run and the envelope remains flat so the balloon is not inflated. p. 78
Check the zipper status and inspect the envelope for tears. Verify the fan motor cable connections are secure. Measure the fan motor supply to ensure it receives the rated 12V as listed on page 14. If the motor is defective, replace the unit to restore proper inflation.
Manual Section: 10. TroubleshootingUnit wanders during transport or exhibits poor handling due to underinflated tires. p. 58
Inspect the outrigger movement and steering unit linkages for excessive wear. Check the tires and inflate them to the specified air pressure of 245 and 294 kPa as shown on page 58. Inspect the brake pedal wear and adjust the brake linkages if travel is excessive.
Manual Section: 5. Inspection and MaintenanceFrequently Asked Questions
What are the torque specifications for the mast group bolts on the YANMAR LB446HB-1 and LB446H-1 lighting towers?
The bolt and washer (M10X25) used for the mast group should be tightened to a torque of 25 to 34 N-m (2.6 to 3.5 kgf-m). Additionally, the bolt (M12X40) for the first mast and hanger requires a tightening torque of 44 to 61 N-m (4.5 to 6.2 kgf-m).
What are the replacement specifications and part number for the lamps used in the YANMAR LB446HB-1 and LB446H-1 lighting towers?
The lamps are Metal Halide Lamp type S, model HIE400W/C/U/EURO/4K, with a rated life of 20,000 hours and a total luminous flux of 160,000 lm. The Yanmar Genuine Lamp 400W has a part number of 1-3010010-10.
What are the periodic inspection intervals for the YANMAR LB446HB-1 and LB446H-1 lighting towers?
Daily checks are recommended for items like the fan motor, frame pipe, lamp brace, and lamp. Inspections for items like the mast sliding surface, wire rope, and winch are recommended every 20 hours. More extensive checks, such as for the mast sliding surface and wire rope, are suggested every 100 hours, while some items like the safety stopper are checked every 500 hours.
What is the recommended tire pressure for the YANMAR LB446HB-1 and LB446H-1 lighting towers?
The recommended air pressure for the tires is between 245 and 294 kPa (28.4 and 35.5 psi). It is important to maintain this pressure, as insufficient air pressure can affect the proper functioning of the brake.
