Manual Section: Machine Body TroubleshootingSteam coming from the radiator and high coolant temperature alarm sounds under heavy load p. 68
Inspect the cooling system and test the radiator cap pressure. Measure the fan belt tension and adjust it to ensure adequate slack between 10 to 15 mm as detailed on page 81. Torque any loose M12x1.75 mounting bolts to 78.5 - 98.1 N•m using the specifications on page 76.
Manual Section: Engine TroubleshootingExcessive track wear and loud vibration from the final drive motor while tramming p. 87
Clean mud and ice buildup from the undercarriage components. Measure the crawler tension and adjust the grease cylinder to maintain 8~13 mm of slack according to the technical specifications on page 87. Inspect the tracks for wear and replace damaged rollers.
Manual Section: MaintenanceFrequently Asked Questions
How to reset Yanmar SV15 engine malfunction indicator?
The manual states that when an indicator lamp lights and a buzzer sounds during operation, the operator should immediately stop operation and check and service the abnormality. Normally, all monitor lamps go off after the engine starts, implying that addressing the underlying issue will turn off the indicator, rather than a specific reset procedure. This information is found on page 41.
What are the replacement specifications for Hydraulic hoses?
Hydraulic hoses are not considered periodic replacement parts. They should be checked for any abnormalities, and if damage or issues are found, they must be retightened or replaced immediately. When replacing hydraulic hoses, it is also necessary to replace the O-rings and seals at the same time, as detailed in Section 7.2 on page 29.
