YANMAR TNV ENGINE
FEATURES AND
APPLICATIONS
Yanmar’s series of TNV engines are
environmentally friendly and are designed to:
• Lower the amount of exhaust gas emissions.
• Reduce engine noise and vibration.
• Be easy to start thanks to the specially
designed fuel injection pump and combustion
system.
• Be economical to run because diesel fuel and
engine oil consumption are reduced.
• Be easy to operate due to the minimum amount
of required maintenance and its compact
design.
• Be durable and reliable due in part to the newly
designed fuel injection valve and fuel injection
pump.
Yanmar TNV engines are designed to supply
power to a wide variety of driven machines
including:
• Construction
•Agriculture
• Power Generation
We are sure that you will agree these features
provide excellent value in an industrial diesel
engine.
These engines are designed to deliver power to
driven machines by means of a “direct coupled
drive” or “belt drive”. In direct coupled drive
engine applications, the engine’s flywheel
housing or end plate is coupled directly to the
driven machine. In belt drive engine applications,
a belt drive is used to power the driven machine.
If you have applications that require a belt drive
and / or front power take-off (PTO), please
contact your authorized Yanmar industrial engine
dealer or distributor.
The engine is designed for a wide range of
applications. Options (such as fuel tank, control
panel, indicators, gauges and alarms) are
available to customize the application.
Since designing the application and installing the
engine require special knowledge and skill,
always consult your authorized Yanmar industrial
engine dealer or distributor for these services.
They will help you:
• Select optional equipment. Optional equipment
should be selected to match the work
conditions and environment.
• Maximize engine performance with a minimum
amount of downtime and safety related
incidents by carefully matching the
characteristics of the engine with the driven
machine.
• Plan for safe fuel piping, exhaust piping,
electrical wiring, ventilation and accurate
engine installation.
• Design your applications so they meet
requirements of the local authorities.

FUNCTION OF MAJOR ENGINE COMPONENTS
ComponentsFunctions
Air CleanerThe air cleaner prevents airborne contaminants from entering the
engine. Since the air cleaner is application specific, it must be
carefully selected by an application engineer. It is not part of the
basic engine package as shipped from the Yanmar factory. Periodic
replacement of the air cleaner filter element is necessary. See the
Periodic Maintenance Schedule on page 73 for the replacement
frequency.
AlternatorThe alternator is driven by a V-belt which is powered by the
crankshaft V-pulley. The alternator supplies electricity to the engine
systems and charges the battery while the engine is running.
Dipstick (Engine Oil)The engine oil dipstick is used to determine the amount of engine
oil in the crankcase.
Electric Fuel PumpThe electric fuel pump makes sure there is a constant supply of
diesel fuel to the fuel injection pump. The electric fuel pump is
electro-magnetic and runs on 12 VDC. An electric fuel pump may
be installed as an option or as standard equipment. Standard
equipment may vary based on engine model and specification. If an
electric fuel pump is installed, turn the key switch to the ON position
for 10 to 15 seconds to prime the fuel system.
Engine Oil FilterThe engine oil filter removes contaminants and sediments from the
engine oil. Periodic replacement of the engine oil filter is necessary.
See the Periodic Maintenance Schedule on page 73 for the
replacement frequency.
Engine Oil Cooler
(If Equipped)
The engine oil cooler helps to keep the engine oil cool. Engine
coolant from the cooling system is circulated through an adapter at
the base of the engine oil filter assembly and then returned to the
cylinder block.
Fuel FilterThe fuel filter removes contaminants and sediments from the diesel
fuel. Periodic replacement of the fuel filter is necessary. See the
Periodic Maintenance Schedule on page 73 for the replacement
frequency. Please note that the word “diesel” is implied
throughout this manual when the word “fuel” is used.
Fuel Filter / Water SeparatorThe fuel filter / water separator removes contaminants, sediments
and water from diesel fuel going to the fuel filter. This is a required
component of the fuel system. This is standard equipment with
every engine. The separator is installed between the fuel tank and
the fuel pump. Periodically drain the water from the fuel filter / water
separator using the drain cock at the bottom of the separator.
TNV Operation Manual

PRODUCT OVERVIEW
ComponentsFunctions
Fuel Priming LeverIf 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.
Fuel TankThe 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
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 PumpThe 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.

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 FanThe engine cooling fan is driven by a V-belt which is powered by the
• Engine Coolant PumpThe engine coolant pump circulates the engine coolant through 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.
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.
• Reserve TankThe reserve tank contains the overflow of engine coolant from the
radiator. If you need to add engine coolant to the system, add it to
the reserve tank; not the radiator.
• ThermostatA 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 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.

Bio-Diesel Fuels
In Europe and in the United States, as well as
some other countries, non-mineral oil based fuel
resources such as RME (Rapeseed Methyl Ester)
and SOME (Soybean Methyl Ester), collectively
known as FAME (Fatty Acid Methyl Esters), are
being used as extenders for mineral oil derived
diesel fuels.
Yanmar approves the use of bio-diesel fuels that
do not exceed a blend of 5% (by volume) of
FAME with 95% (by volume) of approved mineral
oil derived diesel fuel. Such bio-diesel fuels are
known in the marketplace as B5 diesel fuels.
These B5 diesel fuels must meet certain
requirements.
1. The bio-fuels must meet the minimum
specifications for the country in which they
are used.
• In Europe, bio-diesel fuels must comply with
the European Standard EN14214.
• In the United States, bio-diesel fuels must
comply with the American Standard ASTM
D-6751.
2. Bio-fuels should be purchased only from
recognized and authorized diesel fuel
suppliers.
Precautions and concerns regarding the use
of bio-fuels:
1. Free methanol in FAME may result in
corrosion of aluminum and zinc FIE
components.
2. Free water in FAME may result in plugging of
fuel filters and increased bacterial growth.
TNV Operation Manual
33
Page 52
BEFORE YOU OPERATE
3. High viscosity at low temperatures may result
in fuel delivery problems, injection pump
seizures, and poor injection nozzle spray
atomization.
4. FAME may have adverse effects on some
elastomers (seal materials) and may result in
fuel leakage and dilution of the engine
lubricating oil.
5. Even bio-diesel fuels that comply with a
suitable standard as delivered, will require
additional care and attention to maintain the
quality of the fuel in the equipment or other
fuel tanks. It is important to maintain a supply
of clean, fresh fuel. Regular flushing of the
fuel system, and / or fuel storage containers,
may be necessary.
6. The use of bio-diesel fuels that do not comply
with the standards as agreed to by the diesel
engine manufacturers and the diesel fuel
injection equipment manufacturers, or biodiesel fuels that have degraded as per the
precautions and concerns above, may affect
the warranty coverage of your engine. See Yanmar Limited Warranty on page v.

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 the FULL (HOT) mark
(Figure 5, (6)).If the engine coolant is not at
the FULL (HOT) mark (Figure 5, (6)), add
additional engine coolant to the reserve tank
to bring the level to the FULL (HOT) mark.
Daily Check of the Cooling System
1. Check the level of engine coolant in the
reserve tank. When the engine is cold, the
level in the tank should be at the LOW COLD
mark (Figure 5, (4)).
2. Add additional engine coolant to the reserve
tank if necessary.
3. Check the radiator hoses for cracks,
abrasions, cuts or other damage. Replace as
necessary.

A WARNING
HIGH PRESSURE HAZARD!
• Avoid skin contact with high pressure
diesel fuel spray caused by a fuel
system leak such as a broken fuel
injection line. High pressure fuel can
penetrate your skin and result in
serious injury. If you are exposed to
high pressure fuel spray obtain
prompt medical treatment.
• NEVER check for a fuel leak with your
hands. ALWAYS use a piece of wood
or cardboard. Have your authorized
Yanmar industrial engine dealer or
distributor repair the damage.

PRECAUTIONS
The Importance of Periodic
Maintenance
Engine deterioration and wear occurs in
proportion to length of time the engine has been
in service and the conditions the engine is subject
to during operation. Periodic maintenance
prevents unexpected downtime, reduces the
number of accidents due to poor machine
performance and helps extend the life of the
engine.
Performing Periodic Maintenance
A WARNING
EXHAUST HAZARD!
• NEVER operate the engine in an
enclosed area such as a garage,
tunnel, underground room, manhole or
ship’s hold without proper ventilation.
• NEVER block windows, vents, or other
means of ventilation if the engine is
operating in an enclosed area. All
internal combustion engines create
carbon monoxide gas during
operation. Accumulation of this gas
within an enclosure could cause
illness or even death.
• Make sure that all connections are
tightened to specifications after repair
is made to the exhaust system.
The Importance of Daily Checks
Periodic Maintenance Schedules assume that the
daily checks are performed on a regular basis.
Make it a habit of performing daily checks before
the start of each shift. See Daily Checks on
page 44.
Keep a Log of Engine Hours and
Daily Checks
Keep a log of the number of hours the engine is
run each day and a log of the daily checks
performed. Also note the date, type of repair
(e.g., replaced alternator), and parts needed for
any service needed between the periodic
maintenance intervals. Periodic maintenance
intervals are every 50, 250, 500, 1000, 1500 and
2000 engine hours. Failure to perform periodic
maintenance will shorten the life of the engine.
Yanmar Replacement Parts

excessive torque may damage the fastener or
component and not enough torque may cause a
leak or component failure.
CAUTION
The tightening torque in the Standard
Torque Chart (page 72) should be
applied only to the bolts with a “7” head.
(JIS strength classification: 7T)
• Apply 60% torque to
bolts that are not listed.
• Apply 80% torque when
tightened to aluminum alloy.
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.

PERIODIC MAINTENANCE
The engine oil on a new engine becomes
contaminated from the initial break-in of internal
parts. It is very important that the initial oil change
is performed as scheduled.
Note: The oil drain plug may be in another
location if an optional oil pan is used.
Drain the engine oil as follows:
1. Make sure the engine is level.
2. Start the engine and bring it up to operating
temperature.
3. Stop the engine.
4. Remove one of the oil filler caps
(Figure 1, (1)) to vent the engine crankcase
and allow the engine oil to drain more easily.
5. Position a container under the engine to
collect waste oil.

2. Clean the engine oil filter mounting face.
3. Lightly coat the gasket on the new oil filter
with engine oil. Install the new engine oil filter
manually by turning it clockwise
(Figure 2, (4)) until it contacts the mounting
surface. Tighten an additional 3/4 of a turn
using the filter wrench.
4. Add new engine oil to the engine through
either of the oil filler ports as specified in
Adding Engine Oil on page 39.
CAUTION
• NEVER overfill the engine with engine
oil.
• ALWAYS keep the oil level between
upper and lower lines on the dipstick.
0000015en
5. Warm up the engine by running it for 5
minutes and check for any engine oil leaks.

8. Add engine oil (Figure 3, (5)) as needed until
the level is between the upper (Figure 3, (2))
and lower lines (Figure 3, (3)) shown on the
dipstick (Figure 3, (1)).
9. Reinstall the oil filler cap (Figure 3, (4)). If any
engine oil is spilled, wipe it away with a clean
cloth.
Check and Adjust Cooling Fan V-belt
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
force of approximately 22 ft lbs (98 N•m,10
kgf) to check the deflection.
There are three positions to check for V-belt
tension (Figure 4, (A), (B) and (C)). You can
check the tension at whichever position is the
most accessible. The proper deflection of a
used V-belt at each position is:
