RADIATOR
Coolant will last for one day's work if filled all the way up
before operation start. Make it a rule to check the
coolant level before every operation.
WARNING
To avoid personal injury:
A Do not stop the engine suddenly,
stop it after about 5 minutes of
unloaded idling.
A Work only after letting the engine
and radiator cool off completely
(more than 30 minutes after it has
been stopped).
A Do not remove the radiator cap
while coolant is hot. When cool to
the touch, rotate cap to the first stop
to allow excess pressure to escape.
Then remove cap completely.
If overheats should occur, steam
may gush out from the radiator or
recovery tank; Severe burns could
result.
BChecking coolant level, adding coolant
1. Remove the radiator cap, after the engine has
completely cooled, and check to see that coolant
reaches the supply port.

PERIODIC SERVICE
2. If the radiator is provided with a recovery tank, check
the coolant level of the recovery tank. When it is
between the "FULL" and "LOW" marks, the coolant
will last for one day's work.

3. When the coolant level drops due to evaporation,
add water only up to the full level.
4. Check to see that two drain cocks; one is at the
crankcase side and the other is at the lower part of
the radiator as figures below.
