INSTRUMENTS AND CONTROLS
The IC-200 instrument panel is equipped with a fuel gauge, an hourmeter and a bubble level.
Also included are warning lights for low oil and transmission pressure, check engine, high
coolant and transmission temperature, turn signal, high beam, hazard lights, parking brake
and optional four-wheel drive.
The ignition switch is key operated and has OFF, RUN and START positions. The ignition
switch should always be turned off and the key removed when the vehicle is left unattended.
A horn button is on the shifting control.
The BMC IC-200 is equipped with a standard lighting package. An on-off switch and a high
beam indicator are on the instrument panel. The dimmer switch is located on the left hand
steering column control. Stop lights are controlled by operating the foot brakes. The turn
signal control is located on the left side of the steering column. Moving the lever down
indicates a left turn; up indicates a right turn. The emergency flasher lights are actuated by a
toggle switch on the instrument panel near the turn signal lever.
The hand brake lever is located on the right side of the operator's seat. To apply, lift the
lever until the over-center position is reached. When adjustment is required, turn the knurled
knob on the end of the lever clockwise to tighten. The brake must be released before
adjustment can be made. A warning light shows when the hand brake is applied. The brake
and accelerator pedals are located and operated as they are in other vehicles already
familiar to the operator.
A lever on the steering column controls the powershift transmission. Moving the lever
upward engages the transmission clutch for forward travel. Rotating the handle of the lever
selects the gear that is desired (first through fourth) and engages the clutch for that gear. To
put the transmission in reverse, the machine should be brought to a stop. The lever then is
pulled downward, through the neutral position, into reverse. The transmission and drive train
components can be damaged by shifting from forward to reverse or vice versa while the unit
is in motion,
or while the engine speed is above 1000 RPM. A neutral safety switch prevents
starting the engine with the transmission engaged. The shift lever must be in neutral to start
the engine. A parking brake interlock switch prevents driving with the brake on.
Normal engine speed control uses the foot accelerator pedal. A two position switch on the
right dash panel provides a preset engine speed. Parking brake must be set to activate
system. The switch will set the engine speed to 1600 RPM. To restore the foot accelerator,
either temporarily release the parking brake fully or turn the engine off.
Located at operator's station, the display includes gauges for fuel level, voltmeter, oil
pressure, water temperature, an hour meter, and the def tank level. The display also shows
warnings for check engine lights, engine codes, and Wait-to-Start. Also within the display
menus, aftertreatment regenerations can be initiated or inhibited
.
To start a regen, touch the bottom left button on the display(menu button). Open the “utilities”
menu. Use the right page down button and open the exhaust filter menu. From there the
operator can request or inhibit a regeneration.
The optional four-wheel drive is controlled by a switch on the instrument panel.
Select four-
wheel drive when extra traction is needed.
It is recommended to operate in two-wheel drive
except when wheel slip is likely.
