Yanmar SV15, SV17, SV17(EX) Common Problems This Manual Covers
Yanmar SV15 hydraulic functions become weak, jerky, or stop completely after running normally.
Inspect all lines for leaks using the hydraulic schematic. Fill the hydraulic oil tank to its 20.5 L capacity, as shown on page 28. Run the machine at low idle, cycle all circuits to purge air, and verify the fluid level again.
Manual Section: Adjustment and RepairMachine overheats and engine performance drops noticeably during long continuous digging operations. p. 54
Inspect the radiator grille and clear any trapped debris. Check all cooling lines for leaks or cracks. Tighten the radiator hose clamp 35 to 3.92 to 4.91 N·m (40 to 50 kgf·cm) as specified on page 54. Verify coolant levels and replace damaged hoses to restore flow.
Manual Section: EngineEngine starts up normally but runs poorly, idles rough, or stalls out under load. p. 308
Drain the water separator mesh filter screen. Inspect the cyclone type air cleaner for blockages. Replace the fuel filter element every 200 hrs according to the maintenance schedule on page 308. Fill the fuel tank to its maximum 24.5 L capacity, referenced on page 311, and bleed the lines.
Manual Section: Adjustment and RepairTrack travel feels weak, pulls heavily to one side, or travel motor makes loud grinding noises. p. 304
Inspect the undercarriage components for excessive wear or damage. Torque the M10 undercarriage bolts to 44.1 to 58.8 N·m (4.5 to 5.6 kgf·m) using the specifications on page 304. Adjust track tension to standard operating limits and clear any packed mud from the drive sprockets.
Manual Section: Travel Operation IssuesFrequently Asked Questions
How do I reset the Yanmar SV15/SV17 hydraulic system?
To release air from the hydraulic system after disassembly or parts replacement, run the engine at medium speed and activate the respective circuits for 10 to 15 minutes. For hydraulic cylinders, set the engine speed to low idle, then slowly extend and retract the cylinder up to 1.97 to 3.9 inches (50 to 100 mm) from each stroke end 4 or 5 times, followed by fully extending and retracting 3 or 4 times.
What is the torque spec for Yanmar SV15/SV17 track roller bolts?
The tightening torque for the track roller bolts (M12 × 25) connecting to the lower frame is 78.5 to 98.1 N·m (8 to 10 kgf·m). Loctite 243 adhesive should also be applied.
What is the torque spec for Yanmar SV15/SV17 bucket pin bolts?
For M10 bolts used in the bucket pin connections, the tightening torque is 44.1 to 58.8 N·m (4.5 to 5.6 kgf·m). Three Bond 1324 or its equivalent adhesive should be applied.
What are the replacement specifications for hydraulic hoses?
Hydraulic hoses are identified by an 11-digit part code that specifies the material, type, nominal diameter, length, and fitting combination. For example, a high-pressure rubber hose (SAE J517, 100R1) with a 0.25 inch (6.3 mm) inner diameter has a working pressure of 2489 PSI (17.2 MPa).
