The
ammeter shows the
rate
at which
the battery is
being charged
or
discharged. The Delcotron
charg-
ing
system
is
equipped
'
w ith a regulator
wh
ich
con-
trols
the
charge
according
to battery requirements.
When
the Delcotron
generator
is
supplying
more
than the
current
demand,
the ammeter
will
show
the
charging
rate while a
discharge
will
be shown if the
current
demand
is
more than the
Delcotron
output.
With the battery fully
charged,
the
charging
rate
will
be 1m-\', thus
giving an
indication
of
battery
condition.
OIL PRESSURE
GAUGE
...
The
oil
pressure gauge indicates the pressure
at which
oil
is being delivered
to
the
various
parts
of the
en·
gine
requiring
lubrication. Pressures registered by the
AMMETER
•
gauge may vary
according
to outside air temperatures
or weight
of
oil being used. Oil pressure
of a
cold
en-
gine
being
operated
at a given speed
will
be
somewhat
higher than
when
the engine
is
at normal operating
temperature at the
same
speed.
Prolonged high
speed
operation on a hot day
at
the
given speed
will
result
in
somewhat lower oil
pressure
readings.
Readings
of 30 to 40
psi may be
considered
normal during
moderate road speeds of
35
to
40
mph
with
the
en-
gine
at
proper
operating
temperature. Gauge read-
ings
which
are consisten tly
high or low
under
these
conCIitions
may
indicate
lubrication
system
and
/
or
engine
malfunctions.
