4. Operation 4.4.3 Coolant Quality of coolant and antifreeze Use soft water of good quality such as tap water for coolant. When water with dirt, sand, and/or dust contained, or hard water such as well water (ground water) is used, this will cause deposits inside radiator or on cylinder head, and will cause engine overheat due to poor flow of coolant.
4. Operation Check before Starting Unit Check before starting unit Be sure to check the unit before operation. When any abnormality is found, be sure to repair it before restarting the unit. Be sure to make daily checks before operation. If the unit is operated without prior check and without noticing its abnormality, such operation could cause seizure of components or may even cause fire.
