21OPERATING THE MACHINE
BFuel Gauge
The fuel gauge indicates the fuel level.
Be careful not to empty the fuel tank. Otherwise air may
enter the fuel system.
If this should happen, the fuel system should be bled.
(See "SERVICE AS REQUIRED" in "PERIODIC
SERVICE" section.)
BHourmeter
The hourmeter indicates in 5 digits the hours the machine
has been used; the last digit indicates 1/10 of an hour.
A As the hour meter works electrically, it starts to work
when the key switch is turned to "ON", regardless of
the engine running or not.
BCoolant Temperature Gauge
To avoid personal injury:
A Do not remove the radiator cap until coolant
temperature is well below its boiling point.
Then loosen the cap slightly to the stop to
relieve any excess pressure before removing
the cap completely.
If the indicator reaches the "H" setting (red zone),
(1) Place the PTO lever in the "DISENGAGE"
position.
(2) Move the machine to the level surface, and apply
the parking brake.
(3) Place the High-Low gear shift lever in the
"NEUTRAL" position.
(4) Place the throttle lever in the "idle engine rpm"
position, and allow the engine to idle for a few
minutes.
(5) Check and maintain the Cooling System.
Check the following items:
(1) Shortage or leakage of the coolant.
(2) Foreign matters on the radiator net or dust and dirt
between the radiator fins.
(3) Looseness of the drive fan belt.
(4) Blockage in the radiator hose.
(See "Checking Radiator Hose and Clamp" in
"PERIODIC SERVICE" section.)
