MACHINE OPERATIONS AND CONTROLS
Perform the following inspection.
• Perform inspection to confirm that the fuses have no defect and their capacity is proper.
• Perform inspection to confirm that there is no disconnection or trace of short-circuiting in the electric wiring
and no damage to the coating.
• Perform inspection to confirm that there is no loose terminals, and tighten any loose parts if found.
• Always check if there is any accumulation of combustible material around the battery, and remove such
combustible material.
METHOD FOR CHECKING FUEL LEVEL, ADDING FUEL
When refilling with fuel, do not add any more fuel after the fuel filler gun has automatically stopped. If
fuel is excessively added, fuel may inflate and flow out when ambient temperature increased, and it is
dangerous.
Also, it may cause fire. If any fuel has spilled, wipe it up completely.
Fuel is highly flammable and dangerous. Never bring any open flame near fuel.
NOTICE
When restarting the engine that has stopped due to run out of fuel, all air must be sufficiently bled from
the circuit.
For the method of bleeding air, see "METHOD FOR REPLACING FUEL PREFILTER CARTRIDGE (4-50)".
Take care not to cause engine stall due to run out of fuel.
When fuel is used up, you can cut the air bleeding time by filling the fuel tank fully with fuel.
