Locating Engine Identification

Knowing your engine model and serial number is essential for ordering correct parts, finding service manuals, and getting accurate repair information. This guide helps you find these critical details on your machine.

Safety Notes

  • Engine should be cool before inspecting
  • Watch for hot surfaces if recently run

General Steps:

1

Look for a metal identification plate on the engine block - usually on the side or top.

The plate may be covered with dirt or grease. Clean with a rag first.
2

Check near the fuel injection pump or valve cover for stamped numbers.

3

Record the engine model number (e.g., 'Yanmar 3TNV70') and serial number.

4

Take a clear photo of the plate for future reference.

5

Cross-reference with your machine's documentation if available.
