IMPORTANT: If this lamp comes ON during
normal operation with the engine running, STOP
the engine immediately. After allowing the oil to
drain down for a few minutes, check the engine oil
level. Maintain oil level at the FULL mark on the
dipstick.
Hourmeter: Indicates the operating time of the
machine and should be used for keeping up the main-
tenance log.
Coolant Temperature Gauge: Indicates the tempera-
ture of the engine coolant. Under normal conditions,
this gauge should indicate approximately 185°F
(85°C).
Fuel Level Gauge: Indicates the amount of fuel
remaining in the fuel tank.
Load Charts: A series of flip charts show lift height
and reach limits relative to the load weight being han-
dled with various attachment tools.
Hydraulic Pressure Test Port: A test gauge can be
inserted to check main and steering system pressures,
and joystick pressure on later units.
Circuit Breaker: The 15 amp breaker protects dash
and engine electrical circuits. If it is not in the
depressed position, the gauges and indicators on the
dash will not work and the engine will shut off.
Horn Push Button: With the keyswitch ON, depress
the horn button to activate horn.
Park Brake On: A buzzer located behind the dash
sounds as long as the park brake lever is engaged, and
the transmission is in forward or reverse.
Transmission Oil Temperature: This lamp indicates
whether the transmission oil is at the proper operating
temperature. During normal operation this lamp should
be off, indicating that the transmission oil system is at
the proper temperature.
IMPORTANT: If this lamp comes ON during
normal operation, a problem may exist in the
transmission oil system. Stop the machine imme-
diately and investigate the cause of the problem.
Alternator Lamp: Indicates the condition of the elec-
trical charging system. During normal operation, this
lamp should be off. If the charge rate is too high or too
low, this lamp will come on.
Brake Failure Lamp: The front and rear brakes are on
independent brake line systems. If during normal oper-
ation with the brake pedal depressed, a loss of pressure
occurs in either system, the brake failure lamp will
come on.
Failure in one line of the system does not affect the
operation of the other system line. However, the
MANDATORY SAFETY SHUTDOWN PROCE-
DURE should be followed and required repairs made
immediately.
During normal operation the lamp should remain off.
Engine Oil Pressure Lamp: Indicates whether suffi-
cient engine libricating oil pressure is present or not.
During normal operation, with the engine running, this
lamp should be off. During starting and when the
engine is not running with key in the on position, this
lamp will be on.
