CAUTION
When operating in temperatures above 100 F (38 C), extra care must be
taken to prevent overheating the engine. Watch WATER TEMP gage, STOP
ENGINE indicator, and COOLANT TEMP indicator closely. Failure to comply
may result in damage to equipment.
Check oil levels often and keep operating strain as low as possible. Vehicle
cooling and lubrications systems support each other. Failure of one system
will rapidly cause failure of the other system. Failure to comply may result in
damage to equipment.
Idle engine to cool down. Idling cools engine faster than quick shutdown and
may prevent damage to engine from excessive heat. Failure to comply may
result in damage to equipment.
