WARNING : Injuries



Before performing any equipment check or maintenance, stop the engine,

and turn the Power Switch to the OFF position.

CAUTION : Burns



Do not open the radiator cap while operating this equipment or

immediately after stopping the equipment, to avoid sustaining burns from
hot vapor or water.



Do not touch the engine and muffler during operation and immediately

after stopping the equipment, for the temperature can reach extremely
high levels.

Check the radiator and coolant reservoir tank for water and add water in case of

shortage.

(1) Checking Radiator / Adding water

Remove the radiator plate and open the

radiator cap cover.

Remove the radiator cap.

Fill up water to the radiator water inlet top.

Reinstall the cap and tighten it.
