5.1.3 Battery Charge Monitoring Lamp (charge lamp)

CHARGE

When the battery is not able to be charged during operation, the battery charge-monitoring lamp will flash.

In the event this occurs, stop the engine consult with the authorized distributor or our engineering section.

	0	0	0	0	0
						H	the start switch is in RUN position, regardless of whether the engine is operating
							or stopped.
5.2.2			Water Temperature Gauge
							Water Temperature Gauge displays the temperature of engine coolant. Normal

temperature may vary depending on the environment, but it should be between 75 to 90 degree Celsius.

<Caution>

￿If the temperature exceeds normal value, disconnect the load, idle the engine at 1000min-1, and wait until the reading falls to the normal temperature range.

5.2.3Oil Pressure Gauge

Oil Pressure Gauge displays the pressure of engine oil. Normal pressure may

vary depending on the environment, but it should display 0.98 – 4.9 x 100kPa (1-5kgf/cm2). However, under cold weather, the pressure gauge may displays

higher reading. Continue idling until the pressure falls to normal range.
