(2) Coolant Temperature
The engine performance will be adversely affected if engine
coolant temperature is too hot or too cold.
The normal coolant temperature is 75 to 85*C (167 to
185°F).
Overheating
If you see or hear escaping steam or have other reason to
suspect there is a serious overheat condition, stop and park the
vehicle or equipment as soon as it is safe to do so and then turn
off the engine immediately and get out of the vehicle or
equipment.
The engine cooling system may overheat if the engine coolant
level is too low, if there is a sudden loss of engine coolant (such
as hose splitting), or if other problems occur.
It may also
temporarily overheat during severe operating condition such as:
l
Climbing a long hill on a hot day.
l
Stopping after high rpm.
