6-2. Checking Coolant / Water
Danger : Injuries
Close and lock all equipment doors during operating this equipment, to avoid
injuries by unintentionally touching cooling fan and fan belt.
Caution : Burns
Do not open the radiator cap while operating this equipment or immediately
after stopping the equipment, to avoid sustaining burns from hot vapor.
Do not touch the engine and muffler during operation and immediately after
stopping the equipment, for the temperature can reach extremely high.
Check to see if the coolant/water level is between FULL and LOW levels in the sub
tank. If the coolant/water is below the LOW level, fill the tank and the radiator
accordingly.
(1) Filling to the Reservoir Tank
① Remove the sub tank cap.
② Fill up the sub tank to the FULL level.
③ Install the cap back.
(2) Filling to the Radiator
① Open the top plate.
② Remove the radiator cap.
③ Fill the radiator up to the top.
④ Install the cap back and tighten.
⑤ Close the top plate.
<Caution>
Use Long Life Coolant (LLC), for prevent freeze
and rust. (30%mixture LLC is filled when shipped
from factory)
Mixture ratio of the coolant should be 30%-45%,
depending on the ambient temperature.
Replace LLC at every year or 2000 hours.

6-3. Checking Fuel

Caution: Fire
Always wipe any drip of fuel. Do not use this equipment when any leak is found.
Repair the equipment before use.
The equipment uses Diesel as a fuel. When refueling, always stop the engine
and keep away from fire. Moreover, always wait until the engine cools down
before refueling.
Check for the fuel level in the tank. Add if necessary.
<Caution>
Use Diesel fuel, ASTM D975 No.2-D in the
event ambient temperature reaches down to -5 ℃ .
The engine is designed to use either No.1-D or
No.2-D Diesel fuel. However, for better economy,
use No. 2-D Diesel Fuel whenever possible. At temperatures less than -7 ℃ ( 20 ℉ ),
No.2-D fuel may pose operating problems (see "Cold Weather Operation which
follows). At colder temperatures, use No.1-D fuel (if available) or use a
Mixture Ratio (for reference only)
