OPERATION OF THE ENGINE
A This excavator has a negative earthed 12
Volt starting system.
A Only use the same voltage when using an
auxiliary battery.
A Using a higher voltage will cause serious
damage to the electrical system. When
using an auxiliary
compatible (same) voltage is permissible.
BPrecautions in case of overheat
To avoid personal injury:
A Do not open the radiator cap during
and just after operation. Hot water
may gush out and get you burned.
Wait long enough until the radiator
cools down.
If by any change cooling water gets heated up
to the boiling point or over (overheated), the
whistle at the reserve tank drain hose end
blows. In such case, take the following steps.
1. Stop operation
(Disconnect the engine's load.)
2. Do not stop the engine suddenly. Keep the
engine idling under no load for about 5
minutes and turn it off.
3. Keep yourself enough away from the
machine for another 10 minutes or while
steam is given off.
4. Make sure there is no hazard of getting
