Function of Cooling System Components
FUNCTION OF COOLING SYSTEM COMPONENTS
ComponentFunction
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
Cooling System
Engine Cooling Fan
Engine Coolant Pump
Radiator
Radiator Cap
all cooling system components are 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 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 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 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
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
Reserve Tank
Thermostat

radiator. If you need to add engine coolant to the system, add it to
the reserve tank, not to 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 radiator. Once the engine
reaches its operating temperature the thermostat opens. By letting
the engine warm up as quickly as possible, the thermostat reduces
engine wear, deposits and emissions.

• Diesel fuel is flammable and explosive
under certain conditions.
• Before you operate the engine, check
for fuel leaks. Replace rubberized fuel
hoses every two years or every 2000
hours of engine operation, whichever
comes first, even if the engine has
been out of service. Rubberized fuel
lines tend to dry out and become
brittle after two years or 2000 hours of
engine operation, whichever comes
first.
• Failure to comply will result in death or
serious injury.

tightening the fuel cap will damage it.
Priming the Fuel System
A DANGER
FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARD!
• Diesel fuel is flammable and explosive
under certain conditions.
• If the unit has an electric fuel pump,
when you prime the fuel system, turn
the key switch to the ON position for
10 to 15 seconds to allow the electric
fuel pump to prime the system.
• If the unit has a mechanical fuel pump,
when you prime the fuel system,
operate the fuel priming lever of the
mechanical fuel pump several times
until the fuel filter cup is filled with
fuel.
• Failure to comply will result in death or
serious injury.
0000010en
Figure 4-3
The fuel system needs to be primed under certain
conditions:
• Before starting the engine for the first time
• After running out of fuel and fuel has been
added to the fuel tank
• After fuel system maintenance such as
changing the fuel filter and draining the fuel
filter / water separator, or replacing a fuel
system component
To prime the fuel system if an electric fuel pump is
installed:
1. Turn the key to the ON position for 10 to 15
seconds. This will allow the electric fuel pump
to prime the fuel system.

(Figure 4-7, (3)), and fill it to the LOW (COLD)
mark (Figure 4-7, (4)) with engine coolant.
Reinstall the cap.
6. Check the hose (Figure 4-7, (5)) that connects
the reserve tank (Figure 4-7, (3)) to the
radiator. Be sure it is securely connected and
there are no cracks or damage. If the hose is
damaged, engine coolant will leak out instead
of going into the reserve tank.
7. Run the engine until it is at operating
temperature. Check the level of engine coolant
in the reserve tank. When the engine is running
and the engine coolant is at normal
temperature, the coolant level in the tank should
be at or near the FULL (HOT) mark
(Figure 4-7, (6)). If the engine coolant is not at
the FULL (HOT) mark (Figure 4-7, (6)), add
additional engine coolant to the reserve tank to
bring the level to the FULL (HOT) mark.

Introduction
A DANGER
FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARD!
• Diesel fuel is flammable and explosive
under certain conditions.
• Only fill the fuel tank with diesel fuel.
Filling the fuel tank with gasoline may
result in a fire and will damage the
engine.
• NEVER refuel with the engine running.
• Wipe up all spills immediately.
• Keep sparks, open flames or any other
form of ignition (match, cigarette,
static electric source) well away when
refueling.
• NEVER overfill the fuel tank.
• Fill the fuel tank. Store any containers
containing fuel in a well-ventilated
area, away from any combustibles or
sources of ignition.
A DANGER
FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARD!
• Diesel fuel is flammable and explosive
under certain conditions.
• Before you operate the engine, check
for fuel leaks. Replace rubberized fuel
hoses every two years or every 2000
hours of engine operation, whichever
comes first, even if the engine has
been out of service. Rubberized fuel
lines tend to dry out and become
brittle after two years or 2000 hours of
engine operation, whichever comes
first.
• Failure to comply will result in death or
serious injury.

PERIODIC MAINTENANCE
A DANGER
FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARD!
• Diesel fuel is flammable and explosive
under certain conditions.
• Be sure to place the diesel fuel
container on the ground when
transferring the diesel fuel from the
pump to the container. Hold the hose
nozzle firmly against the side of the
container while filling it. This prevents

The non-turbo TNV engines use a crankcase
breather system that has a spring-backed
diaphragm (Figure 5-18, (1)) in the valve cover (Figure 5-18, (2)). When the crankcase pressure
reaches a predetermined value, the diaphragm
opens a passage that allows crankcase fumes to
be routed to the intake manifold.

Failure of the diaphragm and / or spring will cause
the loss of pressure control and allow an excessive
amount of crankcase fumes to be routed to the
intake manifold. This could result in excessive
deposits in the intake system, high engine exhaust
smoke levels, excessive engine oil consumption,
and / or engine run-on due to the burning of the
engine oil.
