<Coolant Level - Check>
Use the genuine LLC specified in this
Operation & Maintenance Manual.
* Otherwise, the devices could be damaged.
Keep LLC to be the specified
concentration.
* If LLC concentration is low, it could cause
corrosion of the radiator or heat exchanger.
* If LLC concentration is high, it may cause
damage to the devices or overheat due to the
seized engine parts.
Do not open the radiator cap or
coolant tank cap while the engine is
hot.
* Otherwise, you could get burns by steam or
water splashing out.
Tighten the drain cock on the water
pump properly.
* Insufficient tightening may cause a coolant leak.
When handling coolant (LLC), always
wear suitable personal protective
equipment such as rubber gloves and
protective eyeglasses.
* If LLC comes into contact with your eyes, it will
result in sight loss at the worst.
* If LLC comes into contact with your skin while
the engine is hot, you could get burned by heat.
Maintain the coolant level properly.
* If the coolant level is low, overheat or cavitation
in the engine could occur.
<Battery - Check>
Do not short the battery terminals.
* Otherwise, sparks could occur and cause a fire
or an explosion.
Do not touch battery terminal with a
wet hand.
* There are possibilities to get an electric shock.
When checking and servicing the
battery, wear suitable personal
protective equipment such as
protective eyeglasses, rubber gloves,
working clothes with long sleeves and
long trousers.
* If battery fluid comes into contact with your eyes
or skin, it may result in sight loss or burns.
