7. PROTECTION AGAINST HIGH-PRESSURE OIL
A It is dangerous if high-pressure oil penetrates your
skin.
A Using a cardboard or a thin wooden sheet, check to see
if there is any high-pressure oil leak from the fuel injection
pipes and high-pressure oil pipes. Do not touch any high-
pressure gushing oil directly with your hand and body.
If you are directly exposed to high-pressure gushing
oil, immediately seek medical care. If such oil
penetrates your skin, get the oil removed within
several hours, because otherwise the skin may
develop into gangrene.
8. CAUTIONS AGAINST BURNS & BATTERY EXPLOSION
A While the engine is running and just after it has been
stopped, the muffler, muffler cover, radiator, pipes,
engine itself, coolant and engine oil are still hot. Do
not touch them with your hands and other skin,
because otherwise you may get burned.
A After operation, wait until the engine and radiator cool
down enough (longer than 30 minutes after the stop) if
you work on the engine.
A After stopping the engine, wait until the radiator filler port
can be touched with bare hands. Then remove the cap.
A First gradually loosen the cap to the first stop, relieve the
entire pressure, and then turn the cap more to remove it.
A If by any chance the engine gets overheated, steam
may gush out of the radiator and recovery tank. It
may get your hands and other skin burned.
A DO NOT stop the engine suddenly. Turn off the load and
keep the engine idling (COOLING DOWN) for at least 5
minutes. Let the engine cool down gradually and stop it.
A If the radiator hose is damaged or there is a coolant
leak from any connection, it may cause an overheat
or get you burned.
A Be sure to check the radiator hoses and cooling system
pipes for coolant leak, referring to the SERVICE
INTERVALS list.
A The hoses and other rubber-made products will get
degraded with age. Replace these parts every 2 years,
together with the clamp bands, even if they are not
damaged. If found damaged, immediately replace any of
them with new one.
A DO NOT run the engine with the cooling fan or fan
belt damaged. The cooling system itself may get
damaged or an overheat may be caused, thereby
getting you burned.
