If any trouble should occur

If the engine suddenly stops:
Do not restart the engine immediately after it has
suddenly stopped. Check for the cause and make
the necessary repairs before restarting the engine.
A failure to follow this precaution can cause
serious engine problems.
If the engine oil pressure is low:
Operation Manual Mitsubishi SS-Series diesel engines
Version 08/2004
Stop the engine immediately and check the
lubrication system. Operating the engine with low
oil pressure can cause bearings and other parts to
seize.
lf the engine overheats:
If the engine overheats, do not turn it off
immediately. Suddenly stopping an overheated
engine can result in a steep rise in the coolant
temperatures and the seizure of running parts.
First leave the engine idling to allow the hot areas
in the engine to cool down, then gradually add the
coolant. Remember, adding coolant to an
overheated engine can cause damage to the
cylinder head.
If the fan belt is broken:
Stop the engine immediately. Operating the
engine with a broken fan belt can cause engine
overheating, which, in its turn, can cause the
coolant to burst out of the reservoir tank and the
radiator cap.
