CAUTION : BURNS
 Do not touch the engine and surrounding components immediately after
stopping the engine as they are still hot.
This generator is equipped with the following warning indicators: BATTERY (battery charge),
OIL PRESS (engine oil pressure), WATER TEMP (coolant temperature), OVER SPEED
(engine overspeed), AIR FILTER (air cleaner clogging), SPILL CONTAINMENT (spill
containment amount), and ENGINE (engine malfunction). An indicator lights up if a
malfunction/fault occurs during operation and the engine automatically stops depending on the
fault type. Moving the starter switch from STOP to RUN causes the following indicators to light
up for approximately 0.5 sec.: OIL PRESS, WATER TEMP, and ENGINE.
(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 230 °F 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.
(2) OIL PRESS (engine oil pressure) Warning Indicator (Low Oil Press.)
CAUTION: BURNS
 Always be sure to stop the engine and allow the engine to cool when
performing inspection or maintenance of engine oil. Opening the oil gauge or
oil filler cap during operation will result in hot oil gushing out.
If the engine oil pressure drops below 7 psi (0.49 x 100 kPa) during operation, the OIL
PRESS and ENGINE warning indicators light up, and the engine automatically stops. If this
occurs, check the engine oil level and add engine oil until it reaches the maximum level.
< NOTE >
 This oil pressure warning indicator cannot detect oil deterioration. Change the engine oil
periodically. (Refer to section "8-1. Checking Engine Oil".)
