OPERATION
ECO GAUGE / DRAWBAR PULL GAUGE
The ECO gauge/ drawbar pull gauge displays ECO gauge (in-
stantaneous fuel consumption) (C) or drawbar pull gauge (work
load) (D).
The instantaneous fuel consumption means the fuel consump-
tion rate at each moment, which varies with the work load and
engine speed.
When the gauge is in green range (A), the instantaneous fuel
consumption is at a good to medium level.
When the gauge is in yellow range (B), the instantaneous fuel
consumption is at a bad level.
REMARK
Although there is no abnormality on the machine when the gauge enters the yellow range, for the conservation
of global environment reduce the engine output to a point where there is no adverse effect on the operation.
Perform energy saving operations within the green range. Travel less frequently. It also helps energy saving op-
erations. Consider the best way of operation for energy saving.
FUEL CONSUMPTION GAUGE
Fuel consumption gauge shows the average fuel consumption
of the machine.
(A): Shows the average fuel consumption of a day (from 0:00
a.m. of the day to 0:00 a.m. of the next day).
(B): Shows the split fuel consumption under measurement.
(C): Shows the split fuel consumption while measurement is
stopped.
REMARK
Display on the fuel consumption gauge can be switched be-
tween the average fuel consumption per day and the average
fuel consumption during a selected period (split fuel consump-
tion).
