the resistance of the safety stops is felt.
Slowly release palm
pressure
from
the
cap and
allow any pressure built up in the
system to
escape.
Take
care
not
to be
scalded or
burned
by
escaping stearn or water.
Leave the cap in this position until all
pressure is released.
Then press the cap firmly downward to clear
the safety stops and continue turning it until it can be lifted
off.
Add coolant as needed to bring the level to within one half inch
of the top of the fill neck.
NOTE:
Systems with metal remote expansion tanks:
Coolant level
should be checked at this tank and the level maintained about one
half to three quarters full.
The fill cap on the engine should
not be removed to check the system as coolant will be lost when
this cap is removed.
NOTE:
Engines
equipped with the plastic coolant recovery tank:
The
level
in
the
tank
should
be checked and coolant added as
needed.
The engine fresh water cooling system is filledfull when
this recovery tank is used and this tank collects coolant from the
engine
through
expansion
as
the
engine
reaches
operating
tem-
perature
(170·
-
190 ·F)
and returns this coolant to the engine
through contraction as the engine cools.
WARNING:
The cooling system is pressurized when the engine
is at operating temperature or overheated and the pressure in
the system must be released with caution as the filler cap is
removed.
It
is
advisable
to
protect
the
pands
against
escaping stearn or water as the
cap is turned.

STOPPING THE ENGINE
1.
position shift lever in neutral.
(Remove load from generator.)
2.

pate some of the heat.
3.
Engines equipped with stop handles:
Pull the handle out and hold
until the engine stops completely.
Engines stopped by means of the throttle lever:
Move the throttle
to idle and apply added pressure to move the throttle below idle
and in to shut off.
Engines with keyswitch shut off:
Just turn the key off.
