If temperature gauge (A) indicates hot (red zone), or either charging system or oil pressure indicators (B or C) fail to go out, stop engine and determine the cause.
Coolant Temperature Gauge (A)
If coolant temperature gauge needle reaches red zone, stop engine immediately.
Check coolant level in recovery tank and radiator when engine cools. Also check grille, radiator and radiator screen for plugging. Check fan belt tension.
