Instrument Panel
1. Engine Oil Indicator Light -
Indicates insufficient engine oil pres-
sure. The light will come on when the
ignition switch is turned to the ON position. If the
light turns on while operating the lift trucks, insuffi-
cient engine oil lubricating system pressure is indi-
cated. Park the lift truck and stop the engine.
Check the system for a malfunction. The light will
turn on when the oil pressure drops to approxi-
mately 70kPa(10psi).
2. Alternator Indicator Light -
Indicates if the battery charging system
is operational. The light will come on
when the ignition switch is turned to the ON position.
The light should go off after the engine is started,
indicating the alternator is producing sufficient volt-
age to charge the battery. If the light turns on with
the engine running, check the alternator charging
system for a malfunction.
3. Diesel Engine Start Preheat
Indicator Light - The light will come
ON when the key is turned to the ON
position from the OFF position. This indicates that
the glow plugs are preheating the precombustion
chambers for easier starting.
The amount of time needed to preheat the pre-
combustion chambers is approximately seven sec-
onds, depending on the surrounding air tempera-
ture. When the light goes OFF the maximum pre-
combustion chamber temperature has been
reached and the key can be turned to the START
position to start the engine.
4. Fuel Level Gauge - Indicates fuel
level. (Diesel and gasoline)
5. Engine Coolant Gauge - Indicates
coolant temperature. If the pointer
moves beyond the green band while
operating the lift truck, overheating is indicated.
Park the lift truck and stop the engine.
Check the cooling system for a malfunction. The
pointer will be at the end of the green band when
the coolant temperature reaches approximately
106¡C (220¡F) on all engines.
6. Transmission Oil Temperature
Gauge - Indicates transmission oil tem-
perature. If the pointer moves beyond
the green band while operating the lift truck,
excessive transmission oil temperature is indicat-
ed. Park the lift truck and stop the engine.
Frequent rapid starts at 2nd speed can be the
cause of overheating at torque converter. With
this operating condition, the pointer can some-
times exceed the green band. If this situation
occurs from time to time, please avoid this
operating condition to protect the transmission
and increase the work efficiency. That is, start
the truck at 1st speed and shift to 2nd speed to
increase the travel speed.
