< 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.)
If the coolant temperature rises above 239
°
F(115
℃
) during operation, the WATER TEMP
warning indicator illuminates, 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 4,140 rpm during operation, the OVER SPEED warning indicator 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) SPILL CONTAINMENT (Spill Containment Amount) Checking Indicator
The SPILL CONTAINMENT checking indicator illuminates if the liquid stored in the spill
containment exceeds approximately about 4.2 gal (16 liters) during operation. If it illuminates,
immediately stop the engine and flush the liquid stored in the spill containment.
(Refer to section “
10. Inspection/Maintenance (10) Flushing Liquid in Spill Containment ”.)
< Note >
 The engine may not be stopped only if the spill containment checking Indicator illuminates
during operation.
 When the spill containment checking indicator illuminates during operation, stop the engine,
check for fuel, oil and coolant leakage, and repair as necessary.
 Do not use the equipment with liquid accumulated in the spill containment. Drain the spill
containment before using.
.
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.
