FEATURES AND CONTROLS New Generation Instrument (NGI) Function Overview Speedometer The large numeric speedometer displays vehicle speed. The NGI receives signals via a paddle wheel located on the ride plate. The gauge interprets these signals and computes actual vehicle speed. Fuel Level Fuel level is displayed with an 8-bar LCD graphic. The level is displayed in 1/8th increments. When the display is 1/8th (one bar) or less, a LOW FUEL symbol and red LED warning light will blink to alert the operator to the low fuel condition. Refill the fuel tank. Tachometer The NGI has the ability to display between 0 and 9950 RPM. The gauge receives the tachometer signal from the EMM.
Display tolerance is ± 100 RPM. Engine Hourmeter The NGI retains and displays up to 999.9 hours. Additional hours will not reset the gauge to zero. The gauge begins to record engine hours whenever the engine RPM is 500 RPM or higher. Memory retention is approximately 10 years. Oil Level Oil level is displayed with a 7-bar LCD graphic. Oil levels are displayed in 1/7th increments. When the display is 1/7th (one bar), a LOW OIL symbol and red LED warning light will blink to alert the operator to the low oil condition. Refill the oil tank. Clock The NGI displays the time in the main display mode without reference to either AM or PM.
Operating the engine without oil will result in serious engine damage. Always add oil when the level is low. CAUTION Trip Odometer The NGI will display accumulated miles or kilometers traveled. Engine RPM must be at or above 500 before the gauge will begin recording the distance traveled. 31
