4. Coolant temperature gauge
WARNING
To avoid personal injury or death:
•
Do not remove the radiator cap until the coolant
temperature is well below its boiling point. Then
loosen the radiator cap slightly to the stop to
relieve any pressure before removing the
radiator cap completely.
• With the key switch at the “ON” position, the
coolant-temperature-gauge indicates the
temperature of the coolant. [C] means cold and [H]
means hot.
• If the indicator of the coolant-temperature-gauge
reaches the red zone position, engine coolant is
overheated. Check the tractor according to Dealing
with overheated coolant temperature on page 70
and ENGINE TROUBLESHOOTING on page 128.
