"TEMP-PRESS" AND "GEN-FAN" INDICATORS
These
indicator'
s are extremely important since they
provide a constant check on the operating condition of
the air cooled engine and the generator of your Corvair
95. Both indicator lights should light with the ignition
switch "ON" and before starting the engine. Indicator
lights
will
go out shortly after engine is started and dur-
ing normal operation of the
car.
Flickering of the
"Gen-
Fan" light while engine is idling is a normal condition.
Engine cooling depends on operation of the fan
driven by the Gen -Fan belt. A broken or
slipping
fan
belt will cause the Gen-Fan indicator to remain lighted
during normal operation and continued engine operation
can result in serious damage.
