5-1. Warning Indicators

WARNING : INJURY
 Close all doors and place locks during operation, to avoid injuries by
unintentionally contact with moving parts such as the cooling fan and fan belt.
 Before performing any equipment check or maintenance, stop the engine, and
remove the engine key. A person performing the maintenance should always
keep the key.
CAUTION : BURNS
 Do not touch the engine and surrounding components immediately after
stopping the equipment, while temperature can reach extremely high.
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 lights up 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 PERSS warning indicators light up 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 105 °C during 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.
