Yanmar SV16 Common Problems This Manual Covers
Yanmar SV16 engine runs hot under heavy load with temperature gauge spiking and coolant boiling over p. 61
Inspect the cooling system for leaks and verify coolant hose clips are tightened to 2.5 to 3.5 N•m as shown on page 55. Replace aging coolant hoses every 2000h according to the maintenance intervals on page 32 to prevent pressure loss and overheating.
Manual Section: Machine and Engine Troubleshooting (General)Boom and bucket functions feel weak or slow down significantly after the hydraulic fluid warms up
Check the system relief set pressure and verify it reaches 17.6 MPa as specified on page 20. Inspect hydraulic hoses for damage and ensure hose clips are torqued to 2.5 to 3.5 N•m on page 57. Use new seals for any reassembly per page 6.
Manual Section: Work Implement Operation IssuesMachine pulls to one side during travel or rubber track derails while turning on uneven ground p. 326
Measure the rubber crawler clearance and adjust the tension to maintain 8 to 13 mm of sag according to page 326. Check the rubber track wear limit on page 48 and replace the tracks if tread depth falls below 8 mm to prevent derailment.
Manual Section: Travel Operation IssuesEngine turns over fast but refuses to start or idles rough with excessive white smoke emission
Drain water from the separator and replace the fuel filter every 500h as dictated on page 32. Test the fuel injection pressure to ensure it holds steady between 11.8 to 12.8 MPa per the technical specifications on page 25 before suspecting internal pump faults.
Manual Section: Engine Troubleshooting ChartsFrequently Asked Questions
How do I reset the fault code?
To address an error code, check the connectors and harnesses related to the specific malfunction. Then, turn the starter switch to the “OFF” position and then to the “ON” position to see if the error code is displayed again. This procedure is a general corrective measure for various fault codes, such as accelerator sensor malfunctions or engine coolant temperature sensor issues.
What are the torque specs for track motor bolts?
The tightening torque for the travel motor bolts connecting to the track frame is specified as 46 to 54 N·m. For these bolts, ThreeBond 1324 adhesive should be applied. This information is found in the 'List of Tightening Torque' section of the service manual.
What are the replacement specifications for Hydraulic hoses?
Hydraulic hose specifications are identified by various parameters including material (e.g., Plastic), working pressure (e.g., 2489 to 2986 psi), nominal diameter (e.g., 3/8"), fitting type (e.g., Taper pipe thread R (PT)), length (e.g., 29.5 in.), and hose protector (e.g., Coil spring). When replacing, ensure the new hose matches these specifications to maintain proper function and performance.
How do you fix engine runs hot under heavy load with temperature gauge spiking and coolant boiling over?
Inspect the cooling system for leaks and verify coolant hose clips are tightened to 2.5 to 3.5 N•m as shown on page 55. Replace aging coolant hoses every 2000h according to the maintenance intervals on page 32 to prevent pressure loss and overheating.
