Do not open the radiator cap
during and just after operation.
Hot water may gush out and
get you burned. Wait long
enough until the radiator cools
down.
If by any chance cooling water gets heated
up to the boiling point or over (overheated),
the whistle at the reserve tank drain hose
end blows. In such case, take the following
steps.
1. Stop operation in a safe condition.
(Disconnect the engine's load.)
2. Do not stop the engine suddenly. Keep
the engine idling under no load for about
5 minutes and turn it off.
3. Keep yourself enough away from the
machine for another 10 minutes or while
steam is given off.
4. Make sure there is no hazard of
getting burned. Pinpoint and remove
the cause of overheat, referring to
"TROUBLESHOOTING" . Then get the
engine restarted.
