shows
the
voltage
available
to
the
electrical system.

it is possible to see the voltage actually drop while you are driving.
If
this
occurs,
accessory
use
should
be

Oil pressure will vary with ambient temperatures
and viscosity of oil used.
Readings in the mid-range at moderate
temperatures and average road speed is considered normal.

indicated after starting, the engine must be shut off immediately to
avoid damage.

reach full operating speed before 120 volt current is provided to the
coach.
