This Service Manual describes the service
procedures for the TNV series indirect injection
engines. These engines are certified by the U.S.
EPA, California ARB and/or the 97/68/EC Directive
for industrial use.
Please use this manual for accurate, quick and safe
servicing of the engine. Since the directions in this
manual are for a typical engine, some
specifications and components may be different
from your engine. Refer to the documentation
supplied by the optional equipment manufacturer
for specific service instructions.
Yanmar products are continuously undergoing
improvement. This Service Manual might not
address possible field modifications to the
equipment. Contact an authorized Yanmar
industrial engine dealer or distributor for answers to
any questions relating to field modifications.
Yanmar warrants to the original retail purchaser that a new Yanmar TNV Series Industrial Engine will be free
from defects in material and / or workmanship for the duration of the warranty period.
Note: Yanmar engines may be equipped with external components including, but not limited to: wiring
harnesses, electrical devices, control panels, radiators, air filters, fuel filters, and / or exhaust systems
that are supplied and / or installed by manufacturers other than Yanmar. For warranty information on
such external components, please contact the machine or component manufacturer directly or see
your authorized Yanmar dealer or distributor.
THIS WARRANTY IS PROVIDED IN LIEU OF ALL OTHER WARRANTIES, EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED.
YANMAR SPECIFICALLY DISCLAIMS ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY OR
FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, except where such disclaimer is prohibited by law. IF SUCH
DISCLAIMER IS PROHIBITED BY LAW, THEN IMPLIED WARRANTIES SHALL BE LIMITED IN
DURATION TO THE LIFE OF THE EXPRESSED WARRANTY.
How Long is the Warranty Period?
The Yanmar standard limited warranty period runs for a period of twenty-four (24) months or
two-thousand (2000) engine operation hours, whichever occurs first. An extended limited warranty of
thirty-six (36) months or three thousand (3000) engine operating hours, whichever occurs first, is provided
for these specific parts only: the cylinder block, cylinder head, crankshaft forging, connecting rods, flywheel,
flywheel housing, camshaft, timing gear, and gear case. The Warranty Period for both the standard limited
warranty and the extended limited warranty (by duration or operation hours) begins on the date of delivery to
the original retail purchaser and is valid only until the applicable warranted duration has passed or the
operation hours are exceeded, whichever comes first.
What the Engine Owner Must Do:
If you believe your Yanmar engine has experienced a failure due to a defect in material and / or
workmanship, you must contact an authorized Yanmar industrial engine dealer or distributor within thirty (30)
days of discovering the failure. You must provide proof of ownership of the engine, proof of the date of the
engine purchase and delivery, and documentation of the engine operation hours. Acceptable forms of proof
of delivery date include, but are not limited to: the original warranty registration or sales receipts or other
documents maintained in the ordinary course of business by Yanmar dealers and / or distributors, indicating
the date of delivery of the Yanmar product to the original retail purchaser. This information is necessary to
establish whether the Yanmar product is still within the warranty period. Thus, Yanmar strongly recommends
you register your engine as soon as possible after purchase in order to facilitate any future warranty matters.
You are responsible for the transportation of the engine to and from the repair location as designated by
Yanmar.

If the oil pump must be replaced, replace
it as an assembly only. Do not replace
individual components.
0000030en
CAUTION
Observe the following environmental
operating conditions to maintain engine
performance and avoid premature
engine wear:
• The standard range of ambient
temperatures for the normal operation
of Yanmar engines is from +5°F (-15°C)
to +113°F (+45°C).
• If the ambient temperature exceeds
+113°F (+45°C) the engine may
overheat and cause the engine oil to
break down.
• If the ambient temperature is below
+5°F (-15°C) the engine will be hard to
start and the engine oil may not flow
easily.
• Contact your authorized Yanmar
industrial engine dealer or distributor
if the engine will be operated outside
of this standard temperature range.

Safety Precautions
CAUTION
If any indicator illuminates during
engine operation, stop the engine
immediately. Determine the cause and
repair the problem before you continue
to operate the engine.
0000029en
CAUTION
• Only use the engine oil specified.
Other engine oils may affect warranty
coverage, cause internal engine
components to seize and / or shorten
engine life.
• Prevent dirt and debris from
contaminating the engine oil. Carefully
clean the oil cap / dipstick and the
surrounding area before you remove
the cap.
• NEVER mix different types of engine
oil. This may adversely affect the
lubricating properties of the engine oil.
• NEVER overfill. Overfilling may result
in white exhaust smoke, engine
overspeed or internal damage.
0000005en
CAUTION
• NEVER overfill the engine with engine
oil.
• ALWAYS keep the oil level between the
upper and lower lines on the oil
cap / dipstick.
0000015en
CAUTION
For maximum engine life, Yanmar
recommends that when shutting the
engine down, you allow the engine to
idle, without load, for five minutes. This
will allow the engine components that
operate at high temperatures, such as
the turbocharger (if equipped) and
exhaust system, to cool slightly before
the engine itself is shut down.
0000008en
CAUTION
NEVER use an engine starting aid such
as ether. Engine damage will result.
0000009en
CAUTION
• Only use the engine coolant specified.
Other engine coolants may affect
warranty coverage, cause an internal
buildup of rust and scale and / or
shorten engine life.
• Prevent dirt and debris from
contaminating the engine coolant.
Carefully clean the radiator cap and
the surrounding area before you
remove the cap.
• NEVER mix different types of engine
coolants. This may adversely affect the
properties of the engine coolant.

Safety Precautions
SAFETY
CAUTION
• ALWAYS be environmentally
responsible.
• Follow the guidelines of the EPA or
other governmental agencies for the
proper disposal of hazardous
materials such as engine oil, diesel
fuel and engine coolant. Consult the
local authorities or reclamation facility.
• NEVER dispose of hazardous
materials irresponsibly by dumping
them into a sewer, on the ground, or
into ground water or waterways.
• Failure to follow these procedures may
seriously harm the environment.
0000013en
CAUTION
New Engine Break-in:
• On the initial engine start-up, allow the
engine to idle for approximately 15
minutes while you check for proper
engine oil pressure, diesel fuel leaks,
engine oil leaks, coolant leaks, and for
proper operation of the indicators
and / or gauges.
• During the first hour of operation, vary
the engine speed and the load on the
engine. Short periods of maximum
engine speed and load are desirable.
Avoid prolonged operation at
minimum or maximum engine speeds
and loads for the next four to five
hours.
• During the break-in period, carefully
observe the engine oil pressure and
engine temperature.
• During the break-in period, check the
engine oil and coolant levels
frequently.
0000011en
CAUTION
NEVER engage the starter motor while
the engine is running. This may damage
the starter motor pinion and / or ring
gear.
