6. COOLANT LEVEL
WARNING: Never remove the radiator cap
and reserve tank cap during or just after
operation. The water in the radiator is very
hot and highly pressurized, so it may cause
burns. Allow the engine to cool down suffi-
ciently before inspecting coolant level.
a. Open the engine hood.
b. Make sure that the coolant level in the reserve tank,1,
is between the upper and lower limits. If the level is
lower than the lower limit, replenish the reserve tank
with fresh clean soft water.
7. FUEL LEVEL
Check to see the fuel level with the fuel gauge,1, on
the control panel.
The letter “F” shows the upper limit.
The letter “E” shows the lower limit.
Fuel replenishment should be done before operation if
required.
Fuel capacity: 48 litres (12.7 imp. gal.)
DANGER: When replenishing fuel, abide by
the following items, or a fire may be caused.
•
Before replenishing with fuel, be sure to
stop the engine and wait until the engine
and heated parts cool down sufficiently.
• Keep sparks, open flames, etc. away from
the fuel tank.
• No smoking!
• Spilt fuel should be wiped away immediately.
IMPORTANT:
•
As soon as the fuel gauge shows “E”, replenish with
fuel. Never attempt to keep on operating with fuel level
lower than E, or air may be trapped in the fuel system,
which will cause hard engine starting and poor engine
power.
• Use diesel fuel. Never use heavy oil or gasoline (pet-
rol). Use of fuel other than diesel fuel will cause fuel
injection pump trouble.
