BReplacing the oil filter cartridge
CAUTION
To avoid personal injury:
A Be sure to stop the engine before
changing the oil filter cartridge.
A Allow engine to cool down
sufficiently, oil can be hot and cause
burns.
1. Replace the oil filter cartridge after the initial 50
hours of operation and every 400 hours thereafter.
2. Remove the old oil filter cartridge with a filter wrench.
3. Apply a film of oil to the gasket for the new cartridge.
4. Screw in the cartridge by hand. When the gasket
contacts the seal surface, tighten the cartridge
enough by hand. Because, if you tighten the
cartridge with a wrench, it will be tightened too much.
5. After the new cartridge has been replaced, the
engine oil level normally decreases a little. Thus, run
the engine for a while and check for oil leaks through
the seal before checking the engine oil level. Add oil
if necessary.
A Wipe off any oil sticking to the machine completely.
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.
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.
