During engine operation, check engine for
abnormal noise and vibrations due to knocking, and
leaks from pipes.
Also carefully check the followings for
abnormalities.
* : Check, control and record the temperature
change during operation. Checking by means
of a noncontact thermometer (thermo gun) is
recommended.
• If any abnormality is found, refer to "11
TROUBLESHOOTING" (→ Page
187) and correct the defect.
Cooling Operation
Stopping the engine suddenly at high speed or high
load could cause a malfunction.
