3. FUEL LEVEL GAUGE AND LIGHT: Displays the
level of diesel fuel in the 25-gallon (94.6 liter) fuel
tank. The yellow light turns on when the fuel gage
reaches the reserve level. Once the reserve level is
reached, the engine protection system will shut
down the engine after 30 minutes of operation. The
machine can be restarted and operated for an addi-
tional 30 minutes before the protection system will
shut down the engine. This ability to override the
engine protection is to allow the operator to "finish
up" if necessary. The operator must watch the fuel
level closely to prevent running out of fuel and hav-
ing to bleed the system.
