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 position at “RED ZONE,” engine
coolant is overheated. Check the tractor according
to Dealing with overheated coolant temperature on
page 72 and ENGINE TROUBLESHOOTING on
page 133.

4.1 Dealing with overheated coolant
temperature
Take the actions in this section in the event that the
coolant temperature is nearly or more than the boiling
point, what is called “Overheating.”
1. Park the tractor in a safe place and keep the engine
unloaded idling.
2. Do not stop the engine suddenly, but stop it after
about 5 minutes of unloaded idling.
3. Keep yourself well away from the machine for
further 10 minutes or while the steam blows out.
4. Check that there are no dangers such as burns.
Get rid of the causes of overheating according to
ENGINE TROUBLESHOOTING on page 133.
5. Then, start again the engine.
5. Hour meter
The hour meter gives readings for the hours that the
