EXPLANATION OF COMPONENTS OPERATION METER PORTION ENGINE WATER TEMPERATURE GAUGE This gauge (6) displays the engine cooling water temperature. During normal operation, the lamp should light up in the green range. If the lamp in the red range lights up during operation, run the engine at low idling and wait for the temperature to go down to the green range. After starting the engine, warm up it until the green range lights up. FUEL GAUGE This gauge (7) shows the fuel level in the fuel tank. During nor- mal operation, the lamp should light up in the green range. If only the red range flashes during operation, add fuel.
The correct level may not be displayed for a short time after the starting switch is turned to the ON position, but this is not an abnormality. SERVICE METER This meter (8) shows the total operation hours of the machine. Set the periodic maintenance intervals using this display. The service meter advances while the engine is running - even if the machine is not traveling. While the engine is running, operation display (A) at the top inside of the meter will light to show that the meter is advanc- ing. The meter will advance by 1 for each 1/10 hour of operation regardless of the engine speed. TACHOMETER This meter (9) indicates the engine speed in rpm.
REMARK When traveling downhill, check the tachometer to make sure that the engine does not overrun. 3-10
