CAUTIONS AGAINST BURNS & BATTERY EXPLOSION
¡ To avoid burns, be alert for hot components, e.g.
muffler, muffler cover, radiator, pipes, hoses,
engine body, coolant, engine oil, etc. during
operation and just after the engine has been shut
off.
¡ DO NOT remove the radiator cap while the engine
is running or
Otherwise hot water from the radiator will escape
under pressure causing injury by scalding. Wait
for more than 10 minutes to allow the coolant to
cool down, before removing the cap.
¡ Make sure to close the drain valve of coolant and
engine oil, close radiator pressure cap and
tighten hose clamps before operating. If any of
these parts are taken off, or left loose, serious
personal injury can result.
¡ The battery presents an explosive hazard. When
the battery is being activated, hydrogen and
oxygen gases are extremely explosive.
¡ Keep sparks and open flames away from the
battery, especially when charging the battery. DO
NOT strike a match near the battery.
¡ DO NOT check battery charge by placing a metal
object across the terminals. Use a voltmeter or
hydrometer.
¡ DO NOT charge battery if frozen, there is a risk of
explosion. When battery is frozen, allow the
battery to warm up to 16ºC (61ºF) before charging.
¡ DO NOT use or charge the battery if its fluid level
is below the LOWER (lower limit level) mark
(refillable type battery only).
Otherwise, the component parts may deteriorate
earlier than expected, which may shorten the
service life or cause an explosion. Add distilled
water until the fluid level is between the UPPER
and LOWER levels.
immediately after stopping.
