OVER HEATED ENGINE
The coolant temperature fluctuates depending
on ambient temperatures and working loads. If
the needle at the "H" end indicates during
operation, the overheat alarm buzzer sounds.
This time take the following steps.
1. Set the PTO of the mower to the OFF-
position.
2. Wipe the air intake panel off chaff and dirt by
hand.
3. Run the engine idle until the meter needle
comes back to the middle area.
4. Stop the engine and check the coolant level
in the reservoir tank.
(1) If the coolant level is lower than LOW
mark, add clean water or antifreeze
solution as necessary.
(2) If there is no coolant left in the
reservoir tank, remove the radiator
cap and visually check the level of the
coolant. If the coolant level is just
below the bottom of the filler neck,
add clean water or antifreeze solution
as necessary.
WARNING: THE COOLING SYSTEM OPE-
