14 DIESEL ENGINE
OIL PRESSURE LAMP
The oil pressure lamp comes on when the oil pressure drops
below a safe level. If the lamp comes on during operation:
1. Stop the engine immediately.
2. Check for oil leaks.
3. Check the engine oil level (page 24)
If the warning persists, do not use the engine. Consult your
DAEDONG dealer for service.
FUEL
The fuel tank should never be allowed to become completely
empty. An empty tank will allow air into the fuel system; and
the engine will not operate without bleeding the fuel system.
EXHAUST SMOKE
The engine exhaust should be colorless during normal opera-
tion within the rated output of the engine. Continuous dark
emissions or smoke may indicate improper usage or an engine
malfunction.
CHECK DURING OPERATION
COOLING SYSTEM
If steam or coolant is escaping from the overflow tube; stop
the engine, allow it to cool, and check the following and cor-
rect as needed.
1. Check for cooling system leaks.
2. Check for obstructions that block cooling air.
3. Clean any dirt or debris from the radiator core (fins & tubes).
4. Check and adjust the fan belt tension.
5. Ensure that the system is filled to the correct coolant level
with the proper mix of anti-freeze and water.
6. Check the radiator cap for proper type and condition.
CAUTION
To avoid personal injury :
!
DO NOT remove the radiator cap or the cool-
ant reserve tank cap while the engine is hot.
Pressurized steam or coolant will escape
and cause serious injury to you and any
bystanders. Check the coolant level only
when the engine is cold.
