Oil Level Indicators - Kohler SFGLD480 Operation & Maintenance Manual

1. DESCRIPTION
A level indicator is a device that combines an oil level display with high and low alarms. It provides protection
against any high oil level due to possible water or fuel ingress as well as against a low level arising from high oil
consumption or leakage. An oil level indicator with dial means the condition of the lubricant as well as the level
can be checked without having to stop the equipment. When the float hits the high or low limit switch, it activates
the alarm on the equipment.
