INSTRUMENTS & CONTROLS
Instruments
The BMW D7 is equipped with an instrument panel as shown:
1. Starter Switch – with three positions:
”O” – the circuit is switched off, and the key can be removed
”II” – the current is switched on and the alternator charging control lamp lights
”S” – the started is engaged. When the engine fires the key should be released
and will automatically return to position “II”
2. Alternator Charging Control Lamp – is normally out when the engine is running
above idle speed
3. Engine Temperature Control Light – should be out at all times except if engine
temperature exceeds 70
o
C or 160
o
F. In such cases the engine must be stopped
at once or severe damage may occur. Find the trouble before the engine is
restarted.
4. The panel also has a reserve lamp marked “OIL”, which is not connected
Controls
Throttle and gearshift are both operated by single-lever remote control, which works as
shown:
N = Neutral
F1 = Forward gear engaged
F2 = The RPM increases
B1 = Reverse gear engaged
B2 = RPM increases
To disengage the gearshift mechanism, push the knob – 2 – fully in, for instance when
starting the engine.
Aloha Owners Association note – the control fitted to Aloha 27s is not always the
same as this, and in some cases you pull the knob OUT to disengage.
