Maintenance parts for Industrial Engines
Here are some typical maintenance and replacement parts for industrial engines (actual parts may vary for the product you are using).
*Maintenance method differs depending on the product.
Please check your operation manual.
Lubrication oil filter
Before use
After use
The lubrication oil filter removes fine metal particles and carbon mixed in the engine lubricating oil.
When the filter becomes dirty, the engine will not work properly or may even cause a malfunction. Therefore, the filter needs to be replaced regularly.
Recommended replacement time: Every 500 hours
Fuel filter
Before use
After use
The fuel filter removes particles and deposits in diesel fuel.
When the fuel gets contaminated, foreign matter will stick to the valve. This will lead to a lower combustion efficiency and deterioration of engine performance.
YANMAR genuine filters have a high filtration ratio and are long-lasting, but they do require regular replacement.
Recommended replacement time: Every 500 hours
V-belt
Before use
The V-belt drives the cooling fan thereby cooling the engine.
If the tension of the V-belt loosens or if best the breaks, the engine will not be sufficiently cooled, causing overheating.
Recommended replacement time: Adjust tension every 250 hours.
Replace if necessary.
Filter element and Air cleaner
Before use (Left: Filter element, Right: Air cleaner)
The filter element and air cleaner keep airborne particles out of the engine.
The frequency of replacement will vary depending on the operating environment, but it is necessary to inspect and replace regularly.
Recommended replacement time: Every 500 hours

YANMAR's new method maintenance. Towards zero downtime
Performing maintenance tailored to the needs of the customer using ICT
YANMAR will attach sensors to the customer's machine, and analyze the operational load to the product what part of the equipment is most under load. This way, we can choose the optimal maintenance based on load.
We also set up a "Remote Support Center" to provide our customers comprehensive support.
We are working to realize advanced "preventive maintenance", and provide our customers with “no downtime” service. We also will provide management support by utilizing the equipment data we accumulate.
