: Injuries
Close all doors and place locks during operating this equipment, to avoid injuries by
unintentionally touching cooling fan and fan belt.

When checking engine oil or changing oil, always stop the engine, and wait until the
engine cools down. If you open either the oil gauge or the oil filler cap during operation,
hot oil may cause some injury.

needed

The engine oil pressure monitor cannot detect the degradation of engine oil itself.
Please check the engine oil periodically, and change if needed
(refer to 8-1 Checking Engine Oil).
