Engine External - Inspect
Inspect the engine exterior as described below.
1. Make sure there is no combustible material near the engine or battery. Also, check to make sure that the engine
and battery are clean. If combustible materials or dust are found near the engine or battery, remove them.
2. Check the electrical wiring for such components as the starter and alternator for looseness.
3. Check the whole engine for leaks of fuel, engine oil or coolant. If leaks are found, repair or contact your local
dealer.
4. Check that valves, plugs or cocks are properly positioned.
Fuel feed valve: Open
Coolant drain cock (plug): Closed
Engine oil drain plug: Closed
Be sure to keep combustible materials away from the engine, especially from the hot engine parts such as exhaust
manifolds, or the battery. Check for fuel and oil leaks. Remove dust from the top surface of the battery. A fire can
be caused by combustible materials placed near hot engine parts. If any abnormality is found, be sure to repair it
or contact your local dealer.
