Oil
The oil light will be "ON" when the key is in the
"RUN" or "LIGHTS" positions and the engine is not
running, after the engine is started the light should go
out. When the engine is running if the oil pressure
drops below a safe operating level the light comes
"ON". When the light comes on while the engine is
running, Stop engine immediately and correct the
cause of low oil pressure.
Battery
The battery light will be "ON" when the key is in the
"RUN" or "LIGHTS" positions if the battery voltage
is below 12.6 volts or when the engine is running and
the alternator output is above 14.8 volts. When this
light comes on it is important to have your battery
and electrical system checked and the problem
corrected.
Hourmeter
The hourmeter (optional on some models) records the
number of hours the engine has operated (Fig. 7). It is
turned on when the ignition switch is in the "RUN"
or "LIGHTS" positions. Use the times for scheduling
regular maintenance.
