Use Specified Fuel, Engine Oil and Long-
Life Coolant (LLC) Only
Use the fuel, oil and LLC specified in this manual only,
and handle them carefully.Use of any other fuel, oil or
LLC, or improper handling may cause various engine
defects and malfunctions.Get the MSDS issued by the
fuel, oil and LLC suppliers, and follow the directions in
the MSDS for proper handling.
Handle LLC Carefully
When handling LLC, wear rubber gloves and a protec-
tive face mask.If LLC or cooling water containing LLC
comes into contact with your skin or eyes, or if it is
swallowed, you would suffer from inflammation, irrita-
tion or poisoning.If LLC is accidentally swallowed,
induce vomiting immediately and seek medical atten-
tion.If LLC enter your eyes, flush them immediately
with plenty of water and seek medical attention.If LLC
contact your skin or clothing, wash it away immedi-
ately with plenty of water.Keep flames away from
LLC.LLC can catch flames and cause a fire.Drained
coolant containing LLC is a hazardous material. Do
not discard it in an unauthorized procedure.Practice
the applicable law and regulations when discard
drained coolant.
Proper Discarding of Waste Oil, LLC and
Coolant
Do not discard waste engine oil, LLC and coolant in an
unauthorized procedure.Such a way of disposal is
strictly prohibited by laws and regulations.Discard
waste oil, LLC, coolant and other environmentally haz-
ardous waste in accordance with the applicable laws
and regulations.
Be Careful of Burns
Do Not Touch the Engine During or Immedi-
ately After Operation
Do not touch any parts of the engine
during or immediately after opera-
tion.You can get burned.Before start-
ing the maintenance and inspection
work, check the water temperature meter to make sure
that the engine is cooled down.
Be Careful to Open and Close the Radiator
Cap
Never open the radiator cap while the engine is run-
ning or immediately after the engine stops.Stop the
engine and give a sufficient time to allow the coolant to
cool down before opening the cap.When opening the
radiator cap, slowly open the cap so as to release
internal pressure.To prevent hot steam scalds, wear
thick rubber gloves or cover the cap with a cloth.When
closing the radiator cap, tightly close the cap.Do not
open the radiator cap during engine running or imme-
diately after engine stop. Otherwise hot steam and
coolant gush out and can cause burns.
Refill Coolant Only After the Coolant Tem-
perature Dropped
Do not refill coolant immediately after the engine
stops. Wait until the coolant temperature lowers suffi-
ciently to avoid risk of burns.
Do not Remove Heat Shields
The exhaust system, which becomes extremely hot
while the engine is operating, is provided with various
heat shields.Never remove the heat shields.If any of
these heat shields were inevitably removed for the
inspection and maintenance, be sure to install them
after the work.
Be Careful of Burns When Changing Oil
Wear gloves when draining oil or changing oil filters.If
your skin contacts hot oil or hot parts, you get burn
injury.
