Temperature Gauge (Where Fitted)

The temperature gauge enables a close check to be kept on the coolant
temperatures.

Malfunction Indicator Light (Where Fitted)

Used on all industrial engines. This light will illuminate whenever there is an engine
malfunction such as low oil pressure, high engine temperature, fuel injection
system fault. The engine can be programmed to shut down in the event of a
malfunction.

Charge Indicator Light (Where Fitted)

If an alternator is fitted to your engine, a charge indicator light will also be fitted. The
light will glow when the isolating switch is in the RUN position with the engine
stationary and will therefore serve as a reminder either to turn the isolating switch
to the OFF position or to start the engine. Once the engine has started, the charge
indicator light should cease glowing.

Safety Switch Override Button (Where Fitted)

This must be depressed when starting the engine, as the safety switch operates
when the oil pressure falls due to the engine stopping -- Refer to "Safety Switch
(where fitted)" on page 13.

Ignition or Isolation Switch

-- Refer to "Ignition or Isolation Switch" on page 12.

Fuel Select Switch (Where Fitted)

This switch is incorporated for use with dual fuels. Switch must point to selection of
fuel being used.

STARTING THE ENGINE

WARNING: ALL INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINES GIVE OFF VARIOUS
FUMES AND GASES WHILE RUNNING. DO NOT START OR RUN THE
ENGINE IN A CLOSED OR POORLY VENTILATED BUILDING WHERE THE
EXHAUST GASES CAN ACCUMULATE. AVOID BREATHING THESE GASES
AS THEY MAY CONTAIN POISONOUS CARBON MONOXIDE WHICH CAN
ENDANGER YOUR HEALTH OR LIFE IF INHALED STEADILY FOR EVEN A
FEW MINUTES.
