OPERATIONAL CONTROLS

Information Cluster Gauge (A)

The low engine oil pressure light activates and an alarm sounds when the engine oil pressure is below safe levels. The light comes on when the ignition key is switched to the On position and stays illuminated until the engine is started and safe oil pressure de- velops. If this light comes on during operation, shut off the engine immediately. Do not restart the engine until the problem has been located and corrected. The high water temperature light activates and an alarm sounds when the temperature of the engine cooling system reaches unsafe levels. If this light comes on during operation, park the power unit, turn off the PTO, move the throttle lever to the low idle po - sition, and allow the engine to cool. Check the radiator screen and clean if needed. If the engine temperature continues to rise, shut off the engine. If the engine continually overheats, refer to the troubleshooting chapter for possible problems. The high hydraulic oil temperature light activates and an alarm sounds when the hydraulic oil tem- perature reaches unsafe levels. If this light comes on during operation, park the power unit and move the throttle lever to the slow idle position. Check the hydraulic cooling fan to ensure it is operating properly and refer to the troubleshooting chapter for possible problems. The low voltage light activates and an alarm sounds when the voltage drops below acceptable levels. If this light comes on, shut off any unnecessary lights and accessories to reduce the current draw. If the voltage continues to drop, park the power unit, shut off the engine, and turn the ignition key to the Off position. Refer to the troubleshooting chapter for pos- sible problems. The low fuel light activates to alert the operator when the fuel level is low. When this light comes on, the fuel tank should be refilled.

The information cluster gauge contains a tachometer, speedometer, hour meter, volt meter, water tempera- ture gauge, fuel gauge, and a parking brake indicator. It also contains an indicator light for the glow plugs and warning lights for low engine oil pressure, high water temperature, high hydraulic oil temperature, low voltage, and low fuel. The tachometer displays the engine speed in RPM. The speedometer displays the speed of the power unit when the power unit is in motion. The speedom- eter can be set to display speed in either miles per hour (mph) or kilometers per hour (km/h). When the power unit is stopped, this window displays the park- ing brake indicator. The parking brake indicator shows whether the parking brake is engaged or disengaged. This indica- tor is only displayed when the power unit is stopped. When the power unit is in motion, this window dis- plays the power unit’s speed. The hour meter records the accumulated time the ignition key has been switched to the On position. The hour meter is displayed when the power unit engine is not running and the key is switched to the On position. The volt meter displays the voltage level of the charg- ing system. The voltage is displayed when the power unit engine is running. The water temperature gauge displays the tempera- ture of the engine cooling system. The fuel gauge displays the level of fuel in the tank. The glow plug indicator is only used with diesel en- gines. It is not applicable to this engine.
