OPERATING THE ENGINE
B
Fuel Gauge
Be careful not to empty the fuel tank. Otherwise air may
enter the fuel system.
If this should happen, the fuel system must be bled. (See
"SERVICE AS REQUIRED" in "MAINTENANCE"
section.)
A
Do not refuel over "F". Fill the tank only to the bottom
of the filler neck in the fuel tank.
B
Coolant Temperature Gauge
To avoid serious injury or death:
A
Do not remove radiator cap until coolant
temperature is well below its boiling point.
Then loosen cap slightly to the stop to relieve
any excess pressure before removing cap
completely.
If the indicator reaches red zone, horn sounds.
1. Place the PTO lever in the "DISENGAGE" (OFF)
position.
2. Move the machine to the level surface, and apply the
parking brake.
3. Place the throttle lever in the engine idle position, and
let the engine run for a few minutes.
4. Check the Cooling System, after it has sufficient time
to cool down.
Check the following items:
1. Shortage or leakage of the coolant.
2. Foreign matter on the radiator net or dust and dirt
between the radiator fins.
3. Looseness of fan belt.
4. Blockage in the radiator tube.
(See "PERIODIC SERVICE" section.)
B
Hour Meter
This meter gives readings for the hours the machine has
been operated for.
A
As the hour meter works electrically, it starts to work
when the key switch is turned to "ON", regardless of
the engine running or not.
COLD WEATHER STARTING
When the ambient temperature is below -5
(23
) and
the engine is very cold. (If the engine fails to start after 10
seconds, turn off the key for 30 seconds. Then repeat
steps 8 and 9 in "STARTING THE ENGINE". To protect
the battery and the starter, make sure that the starter is
not continuously turned for more than 10 seconds.)
BLOCK HEATER (OPTION)
A block heater is available as an option from your local
dealer. It will assist you in starting your machine when the
ambient temperature is below freezing.
