Monitor Lamp - Shindaiwa DGW500M Owner's And Operator's Manual

5-3. Monitor Lamp

Warning: Injury/Electric Shock
• Do not operate the equipment with any doors or covers open. There is a danger
of hair, body parts and other items being caught up in moving parts such as
cooling fans and belts.
Caution: Burn
• The engine, muffler and similar parts are extremely hot during operation and
immediately after stopping the equipment. Never touch hot parts.
• Never open the radiator cap during operation or immediately after stopping the
equipment. Hot cooling water and steam will spurt out.
• Always be sure to stop the engine and allow it to cool before inspecting or
changing the engine oil. Opening the oil gauge or oil plug during operation will
result in hot oil spurting out.
The equipment includes monitor lamps for "WATER
TEMP", "CHARGE", "OIL PRESS" and "OVERHEAT".
If the equipment is normal, the "CHARGE" and "OIL
PRESS" monitor lamps light up when the starter
switch is switched from "STOP" to "RUN", and all
monitor lamps turn off when the engine is started. If
any error besides that of overheating occurs during
operation, the corresponding monitor lamp lights up
and the engine is automatically stopped.
If the engine is automatically stopped, return the starter switch to "STOP" and
restart the engine. Watch the lit/unlit status of the monitor lamps the next time an
automatic stop occurs and check the error contents.
(1) Water Temperature Monitor Lamp
The water temperature monitor lamp ("WATER TEMP") lights up and the engine is
automatically stopped if the cooling water temperature becomes irregularly high
during operation. If this occurs, inspect the water level of the sub tank and add
cooling water if the water level is insufficient. (Refer to section "7-2. Cooling Water
Inspection".)
If the cooling water in the sub tank is at the specified level, it is probable that
overloading is the cause. Use within the rated output.
(2) Battery Charge Monitor Lamp
The battery charge monitor lamp ("CHARGE") lights up and the engine is
automatically stopped if battery charge fails during operation. If this occurs, it is
probable that there is fan belt damage or a wiring fault. Request repair at the retail
outlet where the equipment was purchased.
(3) Oil Pressure Monitor Lamp
The oil pressure monitor lamp ("OIL PRESS") lights up and the engine is
automatically stopped if the engine oil pressure drops during operation. If this
occurs, inspect the engine oil level and fill with engine oil until it reaches the
maximum level.
