(1) 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 230 °F durin g operation, the WATER TEMP and
ENGINE warning indicators light up, and the engine automatically stops. 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 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 work.
(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 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 and ENGINE warning indicators light up, and the engine automatically stops. 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) 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
rises above 2070 rpm during operation, the OVER SPEED and ENGINE warning indicators
light up, and the engine automatically stops. If this occurs, it is probable that some
malfunction has occurred in the engine. Contact the authorized distributor where the
generator was purchased.
(4) BATTERY (Battery Charge) Warning Indicator (Low Battery Voltage)
The BATTERY warning indicator lights up when charging is not possible during operation. If
charging is not possible and the battery voltage drops below 8 V, the ENGINE warning
indicator also lights up and the engine automatically stops. If this occurs, contact the
authorized distributor where the generator was purchased.
< NOTE >
This battery charging warning indicator cannot detect battery deterioration or insufficient battery
fluid. (Refer to section “8-7. Checking the Battery”.)
