OPERATING SECTION 4 Page 7 INSTRUMENT PANEL 1. BRAKE LOCK This handle locks the brake and decelerator pedal in the applied position for parking the machine. To lock the brake and decelerator pedal, fully depress the pedal, pull out the lock handle and remove your foot from the pedal. To release the brake, simultaneously depress the brake pedal and push in the lock handle. 2. FUEL LEVEL GAUGE The gauge indicates quantity of fuel available for operation in the fuel tank. 3. ENGINE COOLANT LEVEL WARNING LIGHT The engine coolant level indicator will glow if coolant level drops below operating level, this light is supplemental to low engine coolant and oil pressure alarm (13) on instrument panel.
4. AIR CLEANER FILTER WARNING LIGHT The air cleaner filter warning light will glow amber when the filter element reaches the maximum allowable restriction. When this happens, filter element service is required and examining the problem. 5. LOW ENGINE OIL PRESSURE WARNING LIGHT The engine oil pressure warning light will glow when engine oil pressure is low. Glowing of this lamp obliges the operator to immediate stopping the engine. 6. TRANSMISSION OIL PRESSURE FILTER WARNING LIGHT The transmission oil filter indicator will glow amber when the oil filter element reaches the maximum allowable restriction. When this happens, transmission pressure filter charge is required. 7.
HYDRAULIC OIL FILTER WARNING LIGHT The hydraulic oil filter warning light will glow amber when the oil filter element reaches the maximum allowable restriction. When this happens, filter change is required. 8. TRANSMISSION MAIN LOW PRESSURE AND CLUTCH LOW OIL PRESSURE WARNING LIGHT The transmission clutch low oil pressure warning light will glow when there is insufficient oil pressure in neutral position or insufficient oil pressure available for the transmission clutches with transmission in gear. When warning light is activated stop the engine and clean transmission system suction filter and check oil level in rear frame. Refer to “TRANSMISSION SYSTEM” in Section 5.
If the light continues to glow stop the engine and consult Authorized Distributor of Construction Equipment before operating the machine. 9. ENGINE COOLANT TEMPERATURE GAUGE This gauge shows the temperature of the coolant circulating through the engine. After the engine has operated a sufficient length of the time, the pointer of the gauge must be in the GREEN area of the gauge. During normal operation the gauge readings may vary between the minimum and maximum indicated by the GREEN area of the gauge. Continuous engine operating below the minimum temperature is harmful to the engine. Low coolant temperatures will also cause exhaust smoke and increase the rate of fuel consumption. NOTE:
In cold weather, if no louver is mounted, it may be necessary to cover part of the radiator to maintain the minimum coolant temperature indicated at the lower end of the GREEN area. The engine temperature under full load should remain in the GREEN of the gauge. DRESSTA TD-15H
