5-1. Warning Indicators

WARNING : INJURY
 Do not open the check door during operation. Keep away from moving parts
such as cooling fan and fan belt.
 Always be sure to stop the engine and remove the starter key when performing
inspection or maintenance.
CAUTION : BURNS
 Do not touch the engine and surrounding components immediately after
stopping the engine as they are still extremely hot.
This generator is equipped with the following warning indicators: CHARGE (battery
charge), OIL PRESS (engine oil pressure), WATER TEMP (coolant temperature),
AIR FILTER (air cleaner clogging), and WATER SEPARATOR (water separator
amount). An indicator illuminates if a malfunction/fault occurs during operation and
the engine automatically stops depending on the fault type. If the equipment is
normal, the CHARGE and OIL PRESS warning indicators illuminates when the
starter switch is switched from STOP to RUN, and all warning indicators turn off
when the engine is started.
(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 100 °C during operation, the WATER TEMP
and ENGINE warning indicators illuminates, 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. (Ref."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.
