WARNING
When the engine is overheated, do not
remove the radiator cap, as the heated
water will splash out, resulting in scald.
NOTICE
• If any of the lights below are lit while
operating, stop using the machine, and,
following the separate engine manual,
check the problem.
(a) Charge light
After starting the engine, the charge
light goes off. If the light goes on whilst
the engine is in motion, it is because of a
charging system failure
(b) Engine oil pressure light
After starting the engine, the oil pressure
light goes off. If the light goes on whilst
the engine is in motion, it is because of
an engine lubrication system failure.
If this light goes on whilst the engine is
in motion, check the engine lubrication
system, e.g. shortage or leakage of
engine oil or oil filter clogging.
(c) Water temperature light
When the engine cooling water
temperature goes up abnormally, the
engine stops and this light goes on to
protect the engine from overheat. This
light stays off when the key switch is just
turned to its "ON" position.
If this light goes on during operations,
stop using the machine and check the
engine cooling system, e.g. shortage of
cooling water and broken fan belt.
(d) Air cleaner clog light
This light goes on when the air filter is
clogged. Clean or change the air filter
element, if this light goes on whilst the
engine is in motion.
(e) Hour meter
The hour meter indicates the usage
time of the machine. The hour meter
is usually read when doing checks,
maintenance, refueling, etc.
