PERIODIC MAINTENANCE
TNV Operation Manual 83
Figure 8
• When the amount of fluid nears the lower limit
(Figure 8, (1)) , fill with distilled water
(Figure 8, (2)) so it is at the upper limit
(Figure 8, (3)) . If operation continues with
insufficient battery fluid, the battery life is
shortened, and the battery may overheat and
explode. During the summer, check the fluid
level more often than specified.
• If the engine cranking speed is so slow that
the engine does not start, recharge the
battery.
• If the engine still will not start after charging,
have your authorized Yanmar industrial
engine dealer or distributor check the battery
and the engine’s starting system.
• If operating the machine where the ambient
temperature could drop to 5°F (-15°C) or
less, remove the battery from the machine at
the end of the day. Store the battery in a warm
place until the next use. This will help start
the engine easily at low ambient
temperatures.
Perform the following maintenance every 250
hours of operation.
• Drain Fuel Tank
• Replace Engine Oil and Engine Oil Filter
• Check and Clean Radiator Fins
• Check and Adjust Cooling Fan V-belt
• Check and Adjust the Governor Lever and
Engine Speed Control

explosive under certain conditions.
• When you remove any fuel system
component to perform maintenance
(such as changing the fuel filter) place
an approved container under the

is under pressure and fuel could spray
out when you remove any fuel system
component.
• Failure to comply will result in death or
serious injury.
