CHECK INSTRUMENTS AFTER STARTING

IMPORTANT: If indicator lights do not go out after

starting engine, IMMEDIATELY STOP
THE ENGINE and correct the cause.

Check that

1. Hydraulic oil temperature gauge (1) is in the green or

white zone.

2. Coolant temperature gauge (2) is in the green or white

zone.

3. Alternator indicator (3) is off.

4. Pump transmission oil pressure indicator (4) is off.

5. Engine oil pressure indicator (5) is off.

6. Engine stop indicator (6) is off.

7. Engine noise and exhaust gas are normal.

NOTE: Handy engine troubleshooting can be done by

checking the exhaust gas color (Check with the
engine running, with no load, after sufficient
warm-up operation.)

Colorless
or faint blue : normal (proper combustion)
Black

: abnormal (improper combustion)

White

: abnormal (oil ring worn, or

coolant leakage into cylinder)
