CONTROLS

The following pages contain information which will help you become more familiar with the dif-
ferent gauges and controls used while operating this vehicle.
TACHOMETER
(1)
Indicates the engine speed (x 100) in revolutions per
minute (See Fig. 6).
HOUR METER
(2)
The hour meter (See Fig. 6) records the number of
hours the engine has run. The hour meter runs when the
key switch is "ON" even if the engine is not running.
FUEL GAUGE
(3)
The fuel gauge (See Fig. 6) indicates the amount of fuel
remaining in the fuel tank.

OIL PRESSURE WARNING LIGHT

The red oil pressure light (See Fig. 6) indicates oil pres-
sure is too low for engine operation.
VOLTMETER
(5)
The voltmeter (See Fig. 6) indicates the voltage level of
the battery. Under normal operation it will indicate 12 to
18 volts (meaning the battery is being properly
charged). A reading below 12 volts indicates the bat-
tery is being drained, this may indicate a malfunction
in the charging system which should be checked
immediately.
