Yanmar ViO12-2A Common Problems This Manual Covers
Yanmar ViO12-2A boom and bucket cylinders moving slowly or feeling spongy after hydraulic hose replacement p. 20
Bleed the air from the hydraulic components. Run the engine at medium speed and activate the respective circuits for about 10 to 15 minutes. Check the procedure on page 20 to ensure all trapped air leaves the system before returning the machine to service.
Manual Section: 1. General Cautions for Maintenance WorkHydraulic oil leaking from control valve fittings and hose connections after rebuilding the main pump p. 189
Inspect the oil seal installation parts for wear, ensuring it does not exceed the limit of ≤ 0.025 mm as shown on page 189. Replace all O-rings with new ones during reassembly. Torque general M6 x 1 bolts to 9.8 to 11.8 N·m to prevent further fluid seepage.
Manual Section: 6. Hydraulic SystemEngine temperature gauge spiking quickly under load and coolant leaking around the radiator hose clamps p. 292
Drain the coolant and inspect the hoses for cracks. Replace damaged lines and tighten hose clip 38 to 2 to 2.9 N·m. Refer to page 292 for correct clamp positioning. Refill the system and run the engine to verify leaks are fixed.
Manual Section: 7. Adjustment and RepairEngine misfiring, sputtering, or dying under load when operating on inclines or digging hard ground p. 30
Drain the water separator daily to prevent fuel contamination. Inspect the mesh filter screen inside the separator unit. Verify the fuel injection timing is set between 15 to 17 degrees. Check page 30 for the exact timing marks and adjustment procedure to resolve rough running.
Manual Section: 2. Technical DataFrequently Asked Questions
What are the torque specifications for the YANMAR ViO12-2A track roller bolts?
The track roller bolts (M12) for the YANMAR ViO12-2A should be tightened to a torque of 78.4 to 98 N•m. This specification is also applicable when reinstalling the track roller mounting bolts.
What are the torque specifications for the YANMAR ViO12-2A swing bearing bolts?
The tightening torque for the M12 bolts on both the inner and outer races of the swing bearing is 116 to 138 N•m. Loctite 262 or its equivalent adhesive should be applied during installation.
What are the replacement specifications for hydraulic hoses?
Hydraulic hoses are specified by a part code that includes hose material, type, nominal diameter, length, and fittings combination. For example, a SAE J517, 100R1 hose with a 02 hose diameter has an inner diameter of 6.3 mm, an outer diameter of 13.5 mm, and a working pressure of 17.2 MPa.
What are the replacement specifications for O-rings?
When reassembling, it is crucial to use new seals, split pins, and O-rings. Always replace any damaged O-rings with new ones and apply grease thinly to their outer surfaces before installation to prevent oil leakage.
