scalded. Make sure the radiator has cooled
down enough before opening its cap.
If by any chance the coolant temperature rises close to or
above the boiling point (
"H"
on the water temperature
gauge) (overheat condition), take the following steps.
1. Stop operating the machine.
(Relieve the engine of any load.)
2. Do not shut off the engine suddenly. Before shutting
off the engine, keep it idling under no load for about 5
minutes.
3. Stay away from the engine or overflow for 10 minutes
or until the steam overflow stops.
4. Be sure that there is no danger of getting scalded.
Pinpoint and remove the cause of overheat, referring
to the
"TROUBLESHOOTING"
section. Once the
issue is resolved, the engine may be restarted.

Place the bucket and dozer on the
ground.

After slowing the engine to idle, turn
the key to "STOP".
