1. Cold Starting Indicator Light
Illuminate when the key switch is turned to the
"HEAT" position. It remains lit for approximately 5
seconds when the key is held in position, during
which time the glow plugs are heating the
pre-combustion chambers.
2. Engine Oil Pressure Warning Light
Illuminates with the key switch in the "ON" or
"HEAT" positions and remains lit for a short
period of time after the engine is started. The light
indicates oil pressure only and goes out when
sufficient oil pressure is present at the oil sender.
If the bulb becomes lit during operation, stop the
tractor engine immediately and investigate the
cause.

3. Battery Charge Warning Light
Illuminates when the key switch is in the "ON" or
"HEAT" positions and goes out when the engine
is started. If this bulb becomes lit during operation,
it indicates that the charging system is not
operating normally. As the battery can become
fully discharged under these conditions, the
problem should be investigated as soon as
possible.
4. Proof Meter
Records the hours and portions of hours that your
tractor has been operated based on an average
engine speed of 3000 RPM. Engine speeds
below 3000 RPM accumulate engine hours at a
slower rate than clock hours. Engine speeds
above 3000 RPM accumulate engine hours faster
than clock hours. Use the proof meter as a guide
to determine hourly service and maintenance
intervals.
