possible. If you have any questions regarding your warranty rights and responsibilities, or would like

through an adapter at the base of the engine to the oil cooler and
then to the cylinder block and back to the coolant pump.
The fuel filter removes contaminants and sediments from the diesel

The fuel filter / water separator removes contaminants, sediment

pump. Periodically drain the water from the fuel filter / water
separator using the drain cock at the bottom of the separator.

PRODUCT OVERVIEW

Components Functions
Fuel Priming Lever If the unit has a mechanical fuel pump, a fuel priming lever on the
mechanical fuel pump primes the fuel system. The fuel system
needs to be primed before you start the engine for the first time, if
you run out of fuel, or if fuel system service is performed. To prime
the fuel system, operate the fuel priming lever until the cup in the
fuel filter is full of fuel.
The fuel tank is a reservoir that holds diesel fuel. When fuel leaves
the fuel tank it goes to the fuel filter / water separator. Next, fuel is
pumped to the fuel filter by the electric or mechanical fuel pump.
Next the fuel goes to the fuel injection pump. Since fuel is used to
Fuel Tank keep the fuel injection pump cool and lubricated, more fuel than
necessary enters the injection pump. When the injection pump
pressure reaches a preset value, a relief valve allows excess fuel to
be returned back to the fuel tank. The fuel tank is a required engine
component.
Mechanical Fuel Pump The mechanical fuel pump is a diaphragm-type of pump and is
installed on the fuel injection pump body. The mechanical fuel
pump is driven by a cam on the camshaft of the fuel injection pump.
An electric fuel pump is available as an option. The mechanical fuel
pump is not installed on the fuel injection pump if the electric fuel
pump option is installed.

FUNCTION OF COOLING SYSTEM COMPONENTS

Components Functions
The TNV engine is liquid-cooled by means of a cooling system. The cooling system
consists of a radiator, radiator cap, engine cooling fan, engine coolant pump,
thermostat, and reserve tank. Note that all cooling system components are
Cooling System required for proper engine operation. Since some of the components are
application specific, they must be carefully selected by an application
engineer. The application specific items are not part of the basic engine
package as shipped from the Yanmar factory.
The engine cooling fan is driven by a V-belt which is powered by the crankshaft
• Engine Cooling Fan V-pulley. The purpose of the engine cooling fan is to circulate air through the
radiator.
The engine coolant pump circulates the engine coolant through the cylinder block
• Engine Coolant Pump
and cylinder head and returns the engine coolant to the radiator.
The radiator acts as a heat exchanger. As the engine coolant circulates through
the cylinder block it absorbs heat. The heat in the engine coolant is dissipated in
• Radiator
the radiator. As the engine cooling fan circulates air through the radiator, the heat
is transferred to the air.
The radiator cap controls the cooling system pressure. The cooling system is
pressurized to raise the boiling point of the engine coolant. As the engine coolant
temperature rises, the system pressure and the coolant volume increases. When
the pressure reaches a preset value, the release valve in the radiator cap opens
• Radiator Cap
and the excess engine coolant flows into the reserve tank. As the engine coolant
temperature is reduced, the system pressure and volume is reduced and the
vacuum valve in the radiator cap opens allowing engine coolant to flow from the
reserve tank back into the radiator.
The reserve tank contains the overflow of engine coolant from the radiator. If you
• Reserve Tank need to add engine coolant to the system, add it to the reserve tank, not the
radiator.
A thermostat is placed in the cooling system to prevent engine coolant from
circulating into the radiator until the engine coolant temperature reaches a preset
temperature. When the engine is cold, no engine coolant flows through the
• Thermostat radiator. Once the engine reaches its operating temperature the thermostat opens
and allows engine coolant to flow through the radiator. By letting the engine warm
up as quickly as possible, the thermostat reduces engine wear, deposits and
emissions.

Daily Check of the Cooling System
1. Check the level of engine coolant in the reserve

in the tank should be at or slightly above the
LOW (COLD) mark (Figure 5, (4)) on the
coolant reserve tank.
If the coolant level is at the FULL (HOT) mark
(Figure 5, (6)) when the engine is cold, the
coolant will expand when it becomes hot and
possibly spray out of the overflow hose.
2. Add additional engine coolant to the reserve
tank if necessary.

PERIODIC MAINTENANCE
SCHEDULE
Daily and periodic maintenance is important to
keep the engine in good operating condition. The
following is a summary of maintenance items by
periodic maintenance intervals. Periodic
maintenance intervals vary depending on engine
application, loads, diesel fuel and engine oil used
and are hard to establish definitively. The following
should be treated only as a general guideline.

CAUTION
Establish a periodic maintenance plan
according to the engine application and
make sure you perform the required
periodic maintenance at intervals
indicated. Failure to follow these
guidelines will impair the engine’s safety
and performance characteristics,
shorten the engine’s life and may affect
the warranty coverage on your engine.

The V-belt will slip if it does not have the proper
tension. This will prevent the alternator from
generating sufficient power. Also, the engine will
overheat due to the engine coolant pump pulley
slipping.
Check and adjust the V-belt tension (deflection) as
follows:
1. Press the V-belt down with your thumb with a (A)
force of approximately 22 ft-lb (98 N·m, (C)

There are three positions to check for V-belt
