Komatsu — Measuring Indicators

CONTROLS AND INDICATORS 1. FUEL LEVEL INDICATOR If you set the start switch to the operating position the fuel gauge indicates the available fuel supply. 1: The tank is full R: The tank is in the critical range During operation, it is recommended to keep the fuel supply be- tween ‘R’ and ‘1’. If only the lowest ‘R’ LED lights up, it is time to refill fuel. If there is no electric contact between the fuel gauge and the fuel level indicator, only the top LED lights up. 75_032 2. OPERATING HOUR METER The operating hour meter indicates the total hours of operation. It only counts the hours with the engine running, no matter whether the machine is actually driving or not.

If the operating hour meter is ON, the symbol on top of the operating hour meter is flashing. 3. COOLANT TEMPERATURE INDICATOR The coolant temperature indicator shows the temperature of the coolant. If you set the power switch to the position with the coolant being warmer than 70° C, the temperature indicator will show the current coolant temperature. If the temperature is nor- mal during operation, the green range of the temperature indica- tor lights up. If the coolant is too hot, the top red LED of the temperature indicator starts to flash. At the same time, the acoustic warner starts to sound.

In this case, you must stop the machine and let the engine run idle at medium speed until the indicator returns to the green range. Proceed as described in chapter "Troubleshooting". If there is no electric contact applied to the sensor, only the top LED lights up. 75_034 4-14
