EXPLANATION OF COMPONENTS
Stop the machine in a safe place, set the directional lever and directional selector switch (if equipped) to NEU-
TRAL position (N), and run the engine at a medium speed with no load until the torque converter oil temperature
caution lamp goes out.
HYDRAULIC OIL TEMPERATURE GAUGE
Hydraulic oil temperature gauge shows the hydraulic oil tem-
perature.
When the indicator is in the green range during operation, the
retarder oil temperature is normal.
If the indicator is in the red range, the hydraulic oil temperature
caution lamp lights up in red, and action level "L02" is dis-
played.
At this time, the work equipment speed is limited automatically.
Stop the machine in a safe place, set the directional lever and
directional selector switch (if equipped) to NEUTRAL position
(N), and run the engine at a medium speed with no load until the hydraulic oil temperature caution lamp goes
out.
FUEL GAUGE
Fuel gauge shows the amount of fuel in the fuel tank.
If the indicator is in the red range, the fuel level caution lamp
lights up in red. The fuel level is below 28 ℓ. Check the fuel lev-
el, and add fuel.
ECO GAUGE
ECO gauge indicates the instantaneous fuel consumption (fuel
consumption rate at each moment).
The instantaneous fuel consumption varies depending on the
operation ways (accelerator operation, travel speed, gear
speed, etc.) and the given load during travel (load weight,
slope, ground condition, etc.).
As the gauge is higher, the fuel consumption is higher. Reduce
the gauge to a point where there is no adverse effect on the
operation, leading to energy saving operation to reduce the fuel
consumption.
REMARK
Even if the gauge is in orange range (A), it is not a machine
trouble.
Target fuel consumption (B) displayed by ECO gauge can be
changed as necessary.
For the method of changing the target value, see "SET TAR-
GET FUEL CONSUMPTION VALUE DISPLAYED IN ECO
GAUGE (3-59)".
L.H. AND R.H. METER
