(2) OIL PRESS (engine oil pressure) Warning Indicator (Low Oil Press.)
CAUTION: BURNS

Always be sure to stop the engine and allow the engine to cool when
performing inspection or maintenance of engine oil. Opening the oil level
gauge or oil filler cap during operation will result in hot oil gushing out.
If the engine oil pressure drops below 7 psi (0.49 x 100 kPa) during operation, the OIL
PRESS warning indicators illuminates, and the engine will be automatically stopped.If this
occurs, check the engine oil level and add engine oil until it reaches the maximum level.
< Note >

This oil pressure warning indicator cannot detect oil deterioration. Change the engine oil
periodically. (Refer to section “
8-1. Checking Engine Oil
”.)
(3) WATER TEMP (Coolant Temperature) Warning Indicator (High Water Temp.)
CAUTION: BURNS

Do not open the radiator cap immediately after stopping the engine.
Do so will result in hot steam gushing out.

Hot steam gushes out from the coolant sub-tank if the generator overheats.
Do not touch the coolant sub-tank.
If the coolant temperature rises above 239 °F(115
℃)
during operation, the WATER TEMP
warning indicators illuminate, and the engine will be automatically stopped. If this occurs, hot
steam will gush out of the coolant sub-tank. Check the coolant sub-tank coolant level after
the generator cools and add coolant to the coolant sub-tank if it is insufficient. (Refer to
section “
8-2. Checking Coolant
”.) If the coolant is at the specified amount, it is probable
that the fan belt is loose or there is a coolant leak. Wait for the engine to cool down and
inspect for these problems.
< Note >

The coolant temperature cannot be detected if the coolant level is excessively low. Always be
sure to check the coolant level in the radiator coolant sub-tank before starting operation.
(4) OVER SPEED (Engine Overspeed) Warning Indicator
This generator is equipped with a function such that the engine is automatically stopped if an
engine fault occurs causing the engine speed to increase excessively. If the engine speed
rose above 2070rpm during operation, the OVER SPEED warning indicators illuminates, and
the engine will be automatically stopped. If this occurs, it is probable that some malfunction
has occurred in the engine. Contact authorized distributor where the generator was
purchased.
(5) AIR FILTER (Air Cleaner Clogging) Warning Indicator
The AIR FILTER warning indicator illuminates if the air cleaner element becomes clogged
during operation. If it illuminates, immediately stop the engine and clean or replace the air
cleaner element.(Refer
to section “
10. Inspection/Maintenance (3) Air Filter Element
Cleaning/Replacement
”.)
