FUEL GAUGE/HOUR METER
See General Warnings, Section 1, Page 1-2.
TESTING THE FUEL GAUGE/HOUR METER
See Test Procedure 31 – Fuel Gauge on page 11-35. Also see Test Procedure 32 – Hour Meter on page 11-36.
With the key switch in the OFF position, the fuel gauge field is blank; however, the hour meter field is always ON.
When the key switch is turned to ON, the fuel gauge field activates. The fuel gauge initially registers full before
indicating the actual fuel level.
The hour meter displays the number of hours of use in increments of 0.1 (one tenth) hour, but does not record additional
time unless the key switch is in the ON position and the engine is on. When recording, the hourglass icon blinks.
