Cooling System Indicator

CONTROLS AND FEATURES

When the alert triggers, the overheat indicator comes on and the buzzer sounds a steady tone as the engine speed is reduced to 1,800 rpm. If the condition persists for another 20 seconds, the engine shuts off. Refer to TAKING CARE OF UNEXPECTED PROBLEMS, on p.116.

All models are equipped with a buzzer that sounds continuously when the red light comes on.

The buzzer will also sound when the hour counter is reset (p.40).

Engine overheating may be the result of clogged water intakes.

COOLING SYSTEM INDICATOR

Water should flow from the cooling system indicator while the engine is running. This shows that water is circulating through the cooling system.

If water stops flowing while the engine is running, it indicates a cooling system problem, such as clogged water intakes, which will cause engine overheating.

The cooling system indicator discharge port can also become plugged.
