Instruments

A brief explanation of the instruments is given below.
1. Tachometer
This shows engine speed in rpm.
2. Indicator light panel
For details (2,Fig. 25 & Fig. 28).
3. Fuel gauge
This shows the amount of fuel in the tank. When the
pointer enters the red area there is approximately 6
liter left in the tank when the tractor is on level ground.
4. Temperature gauge
This shows the temperature of the coolant in the
engine. If the pointer moves into the red area, stop
the engine and investigate the cause. Check the
coolant level when cool. Check the radiator core for
blockage, (see Maintenance section). Check the fan
belt tension. Rectify any fault found.
5. Hourmeter-Digital
This digital hour counter registers one unit for every
hour worked at approximately 1500 rpm.
6. PTO Speedmeter-Digital
This shows PTO speed in rpm.

services to be switched on without the engine running.
Switch returns to this position after engine starting.

power to the starter motor and maintains power
supply to the glow plugs. Spring loaded back to the
second position.
