If the engine is operating above the normal range
and steam becomes apparent, perform the following
procedure:
1.
Reduce the load and the engine rpm.
2.
Inspect the cooling system for leaks.
3.
Determine if the engine must be shutdown
immediately or if the engine can be cooled by
reducing the load.
Tachometer – This gauge indicates
engine speed (rpm). When the throttle
control lever is moved to the full throttle
position without load, the engine is running at
high idle. The engine is running at the full load
rpm when the throttle control lever is at the full
throttle position with maximum rated load.
NOTICE
To help prevent engine damage, never exceed the
high idle rpm. Overspeeding can result in serious
damage to the engine. The engine can be operated
at high idle without damage, but should never be al-
lowed to exceed high idle rpm.
Ammeter – This gauge indicates the
amount of charge or discharge in the
battery charging circuit. Operation of
the indicator should be to the right side of
““
0
””
(zero).
Fuel Level – This gauge indicates the
fuel level in the fuel tank. The fuel level
gauge operates when the
““
START/STOP
””
switch is in the
““
ON
””
position.
Service Hour Meter – The gauge
indicates operating time of the engine.
