6 SAFE OPERATION
CAUTIONS AGAINST BURNS & BATTERY EXPLOSION
A To avoid burns, be alert for hot components, e.g. muffler,
muffler cover, radiator, pipes, hoses, engine body,
coolant, engine oil, etc. during operation and just after the
engine has been shut off.
A DO NOT remove the radiator cap while the engine is
running or immediately after stopping. Otherwise hot
water from the radiator will escape under pressure
causing injury by scalding. Wait for more than 10 minutes
to allow the coolant to cool down, before removing the
cap.
A Make sure to close the drain valve of coolant and engine
oil, close radiator pressure cap and tighten hose clamps
before operating. If any of these parts are taken off, or left
loose, serious personal injury can result.
A The battery presents an explosive hazard. When the
battery is being activated, hydrogen and oxygen gases
are extremely explosive.
A Keep sparks and open flames away from the battery,
especially when charging the battery. DO NOT strike a
match near the battery.
A DO NOT check battery charge by placing a metal object
across the terminals. Use a voltmeter or hydrometer.
A DO NOT charge battery if frozen, there is a risk of
explosion. When battery is frozen, allow the battery to
warm up to 16 C (61 F) before charging.
A DO NOT use or charge the battery if its fluid level is below
the LOWER (lower limit level) mark (refillable type battery
only).
Otherwise, the component parts may deteriorate earlier
than expected, which may shorten the service life or
cause an explosion. Add distilled water until the fluid level
