The 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
Air Cleaner package as shipped from the Yanmar factory. Periodic replacement of
the air cleaner filter element is necessary. See the Periodic Maintenance
Schedule on page 39 for the replacement frequency.
The alternator is driven by a V-belt which is powered by the crankshaft
Dipstick (Engine Oil) V-pulley. The alternator supplies electricity to the engine systems and
charges the battery while the engine is running.
The engine oil dipstick is used to determine the amount of engine oil in
Dipstick (Engine Oil) the crankcase.
The 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
Electric Fuel Pump and runs on 12 VDC. An electic fuel pump may be installed as an option
or as standard equipment. Standard equipment may vary based on
(If Equipped) engine model and specification. If an electic fuel pump is installed, turn
the key switch to the ON position for 10 to 15 seconds to prime the fuel
system.
The engine oil filter removes contaminants and sediments from the
engine oil. Periodic replacement of the engine oil filter is necessary. See
Engine Oil Filter the Periodic Maintenance Schedule on page 39 for the replacement
frequency.
The engine oil cooler helps to keep the engine oil cool. Engine coolant
Engine Oil Cooler from the cooling system is circulated through an adapter at the base of
(If Equipped) the engine oil filter assembly and then returned to the coolant pump
inlet.
The fuel filter removes contaminants and sediments from the diesel fuel.
Periodic replacement of the fuel filter is necessary. See the Periodic
Fuel Filter Maintenance Schedule on page 39 for the replacement frequency.
Please note that the word “diesel” is implied throughout this
manual when the word “fuel” is used.
The fuel filter / water separator removes contaminants, sediments and
water from the diesel fuel going to the fuel filter. This is a required
component of the fuel system. This is standard equipment with every
Fuel Filter/ Water Separator engine. The separator is installed between the fuel tank and the electric
fuel pump. Periodically drain the water from the fuel filter / water
separator.
If the unit has a mechanical fuel pump, a fuel priming lever on the
Fuel Priming Lever mechanical fuel pump primes the fuel system. The fuel sytem needs to
be primed before you start the engine for the first time, if you run out of
(If Equipped) 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 the fuel leaves
the fuel tank it goes to the fuel filter / water separator. Next the fuel is
pumped to the fuel filter by the electric fuel pump. Then the fuel goes to
the fuel injection pump. Since the fuel is used to keep the fuel injection
Fuel Tank 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 the excess fuel to be returned back to the fuel tank. The fuel
tank is a required engine component.
Side and Top Filler Port You can fill the crankcase with engine oil from either the side or the top
(Engine Oil) filler port depending upon which one is most convenient.

The starter motor is powered by the battery. When you turn the key

4TNV98 & 4TNE98 Diesel Engine 10 Section 1. General Service Information

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
Cooling System 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
Engine Cooling Fan
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
Engine Coolant Pump
cylinder block and the cylinder head and returns the engine coolant
to the radiator.
The radiator acts as a heat exchanger. As the engine coolant
Radiator 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
Radiator Cap 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 the 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 radiator. If you 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 the 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
Thermostat
reaches its operating temperature, the thermostat opens and allows
the 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.

6. Check the hose (Figure 4-6, (5)) that connects
the reserve tank (Figure 4-6, (3)) to the radiator.
Be sure it is securely connected and there are no
cracks or damage. If the hose is damaged, the
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 the FULL (HOT)
mark (Figure 4-6, (6)). If the engine coolant is not
at the FULL (HOT) mark (Figure 4-6, (6)), add
additional engine coolant to the reserve tank to
bring the level to the FULL (HOT) mark.

Liberally oil all components during reassembly to
prevent premature wear or damage.

Reassembly of Valve Guides

1. The valve guides are installed into the cylinder

head with an extremely tight press fit. Before
installing the valve guides, place the valve guides
in a freezer for at least twenty minutes This will
cause the valve guides to contract, making it
easier to install the valve guides into place. Figure 6-63

2. Immediately after removing the valve guides from

the freezer, insert the valve guides (Figure 6-62, Reassembly of Intake and Exhaust Valves
(1)) in their proper positions.

IMPORTANT

Introduction

This section of the Service Manual describes the

procedures necessary to remove, install, and time
the MP fuel injection pump and its associated
system components. This fuel injection pump is
representative of the fuel injection pumps used on
other TNV DI model engines.

Fuel Injection Pump

NOTE: If the MP fuel injection pump itself requires Figure 7-1

servicing, it must be taken to an authorized Yanmar
FIE (Fuel Injection Equipment) repair facility. The following describes the features of the MP fuel
injection pump, manufactured by Yanmar.

The fuel is pressurized by the up and down motion
of the camshaft-driven single plunger. It is then
distributed to the proper fuel injector by the rotating
distributor shaft.

There are two versions and sizes of the MP Fuel

Injection Pump. The smaller of the two pumps, the
MP2 pump, is used on the 3TNV82A - 4TNV88
model engines. The larger pump, the MP4 pump,
which has a larger single plunger and a more
aggressive cam profile, is used on the 4TNV94L-
4TNV106T model engines.

NOTE: Fuel injection pressure of a new fuel injector is reduced approximately 72.5 psi (0.5 MPa; 5.0 kgf/cm²)
after about 5 hours of operation due to the initial break in of the engine. When adjusting a new fuel injector or
after it has been disassembled for service, adjust the fuel injector 72.5 psi (0.5 MPa; 5.0 kgf/cm²) higher than
the above standard.

NOTE: All fuel injectors have a three character identification mark (Figure7-2, (1)). The first character starts
with “V” or “W”.

If you are uncertain as to the timing degree

designation of the timing marks on the flywheel
timing grid, you can determine the timing degree
designation by measuring the timing grid.

• First measure the distance between two of the

“longer” marks on the timing grid. (They are 5°
apart.) Then measure the distance from the
TDC mark to the first “longer” mark on the
timing grid. Divide that measurement by the
distance between the two “longer” marks. The
resulting answer will tell you how many
degrees there are between the TDC mark and Figure 7-41
the first “longer” mark.

• EXAMPLE: If the distance between the two

“longer” marks is approximately 2.0 cm and
the distance from the TDC mark is
approximately 4.0cm, the answer is
approximately 2. This indicates there is 10°
(2x5°) between the TDC mark and the first
“longer” mark on the timing grid. That means
the first “longer” mark on the timing grid
indicates 10° BTDC, the second “longer” mark
indicates 15° BTDC and the third timing mark
indicates 20° BTDC. If the answer is 3, that
indicates there is 15° (3x15°) between the
TDC mark and the first “longer” mark and that
the first “longer” mark indicates 15° BTDC
with the second and third “longer” marks
indicating 20° BTDC and 25° BTDC
respectively.

pressure for controlling the injection timing.

Figure 7-8

The regulating valve regulates the fuel feeding

pressure of the feed pump so that the fuel pressure
in the pump chamber is maintained within the
specified pressure range.

When the injection pump revolutions increase to

increase the fuel feeding pressure of the feed pump,
the fuel compresses the regulating valve spring to
lift the piston. The fuel is then returned to the
suction side as shown by the arrow in the figure.

It is therefore possible to regulate the pump

chamber pressure by changing the set force of the
regulating valve spring.

When the cam disc turns by means of the drive

the plunger’s reciprocating operation. When the
inlet port of the plunger barrel being pressed into
the distributor head and the inlet slit of the plunger
overlap, the plunger draws fuel and applies
pressure to it.

When the outlet port of the plunger barrel and the

flyweight holder acceleration gear via the drive gear
to turn the flyweight holder.

The flyweight holder is supported by the governor

shaft. There are four flyweights in the holder which
are installed in such a way that they open outwardly
by means of centrifugal force.

The flyweight movement presses the governor

sleeve and presses the governor lever assembly to
the right. The governor lever assembly mainly
consists of the corrector leer, tension lever and start

The start and tension levers contact each other and
move together during engine operation. Above the
tension lever is the governor spring which is
connected to the control lever. Movement of the
control lever is capable of changing the set force of
the governor spring. On the upper back of the
tension lever is the idle spring.

The governor is controlled at all speeds by means

of the start, governor and idle springs.

At Start of Engine

Figure 7-25

It is necessary to increase the injection volume in

order to improve the starting characteristics at
engine start.

When the accelerator pedal is pressed while the

engine is stopped, the tension lever is pulled until it
comes into contact with press-in pin M3 by governor
spring force.

At the same time, the start lever is released from the

tension lever by the start spring force to press the
governor sleeve to the left. THe flyweight then
closes completely and the start lever moves the
control sleeve to the start increasing position (to the
right) with M2 being the fulcrum.

Thus, the engine can be started easily by lightly

pressing down on the accelerator pedal.

4TNV98 & 4TNE98 Diesel Engine 182 Section 4. Fuel System

During Idling

Figure 7-26

When the engine starts and the accelerator pedal is

released, the control lever returns to the idle
position and the tension of the governor spring
becomes zero. Therefore, the flyweight opens
outwardly even at low revolutions to move the
governor sleeve to the right.

This makes the start lever turn clockwise with M2

being the fulcrum to move the control sleeve in the
direction to reduce the fuel volume. The governor
sleeve stops at a point where the flyweight
centrifugal and idle spring force are balanced to
ensure stable idling.

At Full-Load Maximum Speed Control

Figure 7-27

When the accelerator pedal is pressed down all the

way and the control lever comes into contact with
the maximum speed stopper bolt, the tension of the
governor spring becomes maximum.

At this time, the tension lever is fixed at the position

where is contacts pin M3 being pressed into the
pump housing. The idle spring is completely
compressed to connect the start lever and the
tension lever at point A, thereby holding the control
sleeve at the full-load position. At this time, the
flyweight is pressed by the governor sleeve and is
in the completely closed state.

4TNV98 & 4TNE98 Diesel Engine 184 Section 4. Fuel System

At No-Load Maximum Speed Control

Figure 7-28

When the engine revolutions increase and the

flyweight centrifugal force exceeds the governor
spring set force, the governor sleeve moves to
make the governor lever assembly turn clockwise
with fulcrum M2. As a result, the control sleeve
moves in the direction of no-injection (to the left) for
controlling speed so as not to exceed the full-load
maximum speed.

When the accelerator pedal is not pressed down

fully, the set force of the governor spring changes
accordingly in order to achieve governor control
based on the governor spring set force during
partial load operation.

Magnetic Valve (Stop Solenoid)

Figure 7-31

The magnetic valve (stop solenoid) turns on or off

as the ignition switch of the vehicle is operated to
open or close the fuel path connected to the inlet
port of the plunger barrel.

When the ignition switch is turned on, power is

supplied to the magnetic valve to lift the armature,
thus opening the fuel path.

On the contrary, when the ignition switch is turned

off, the armature is powered by the force of the
spring installed in the armature to close the fuel
path. As a result, no fuel is fed to the plunger,
stopping the engine immediately.

The pressure will drop due to increased parts wear.

Pressure drop reduces the durability of the engine.

A pressure drop may also be caused by a scratched

cylinder or piston, dust entrance from the dirty air
cleaner element or a worn or broken piston ring.
Measure the compression pressure to determine the
condition of the engine.
