5. Centralized control
All gauges, throttle dial, control switches, and other warning lamps are grouped on the control panel
for easy operation.

6. Cooling water recirculation system
Engine cooling water is returned to the pump eliminating discharge outside
of the pump, and contamination of surrounding area.

7. Unique auto choke carburetor
This device helps engine start easier in all seasonal temperature conditions.

8. Engine overheat protection sensor
Overheat protection is provided on this model to safeguard the engine from cooling water loss, and to
protect engine when water is not discharging. This device stops the engine
automatically when engine temperature reaches 80 . Reset switch is provided to release the
sensor after it stops the engine.

9. Stainless steel fuel tank
Integrated fuel tank with large capacity of 18liters ensures the fuel supply will last for 1.5 hours at least
at maximum throttle opening and load.

10. 180degree rotating discharge port
