medical attention.
CAUTION
!
As highly flammable
hydrogen gas is released
from the batteries, do not
create a spark or allow any
naked flame near the
batteries.
When handling such
metallic articles as tools
near the batteries, be sure
not to contact the “+”
terminal because the
compressor body is “-” and
a dangerous short circuit
might result.
When disconnecting the
terminals, start with “-”
terminal. When connecting
them, connect the “-”
terminal last.
Fuel Level
Check the remaining fuel oil level in the fuel
tank and re-fuel if necessary.
CHECKS and OPERATION AFTER
START-UP
After engine start-up, check the following
items in the engine warming-up operation:
• Listen to the engine and, if any
abnormal noise is heard, check to
determine the cause.
• Check the fuel combustion
condition by observing the exhaust
smoke color. The exhaust smoke
color after engine warm-up and at
no-load condition should be
colorless or light blue. Black or
white smoke indicates incorrect
combustion.
Note: After start-up from cold, the engine
might be noisier and the exhaust smoke color
darker than when it has warmed up.
However, the condition will disappear after
warm-up.
Leakage in the System
Check the following items:
• Lubrication oil leakage - Check the
engine for oil leaks, paying
particular attention to oil filter and
oil pipe joints.
• Fuel leakage - Check the fuel
injection pump, fuel lines and fuel
filter for leakage.
• Coolant leakage - Check the
radiator and water pump hose
connections and the water drain
cock on the cylinder block for
leakage.
• Check for exhaust smoke or gas
leakage.
