Part of the Yanmar Repair Manuals.
Chase a weak boom on a Yanmar YB401W long enough and you end up at the control valve, and this service manual supplement is where Yanmar documented it. Written for the YB401W wheel backhoe from serial number 50001 onward with the 4TNA78TL-DBW or 4TNA78TL-RBW engine, it walks the machine system by system: electrical components, engine, control valve, clutch valve, shut off valve (suspension lock valve), and steering.
Alongside maintenance procedures for each part, it carries technical data (specifications, engine maintenance standards, tightening torques), adjustment procedures including toe-in and steering angle, fuel oil and power transmission system diagrams, and a periodic replacement schedule for vital aging parts. When a steering cylinder starts weeping, that schedule tells you it takes a complete seal set, so you order the right parts the first time.
The file is a 64 page English PDF, 4.8 MB, with 65 bookmarks for quick navigation. Download it instantly and print the pages you need for the bench.
