B. Main Instrument Panel: This Panel contains the Ammeter, Water Temperature Gage, Tachometer, Oil
Pressure Gage, and Fuel Gage.
12) Ammeter: This gage is on the lower right of the Main Instrument Panel. It shows whether the battery is
being charged (pointer deflects to the “+” [right] side) or is being discharged charged (pointer deflects to the “-”
[left] side). When the engine is running this gage should show “+” that the battery is being charged. It will
show “-“ when starting (see starting section).
13) Water Temperature Gage: This gage indicates is on the lower left side of the Main Instrument Panel. It
registers the temperature of the cooling water in the engine; it reads in Celsius (not
Fahrenheit). Prior to starting
the temperature will reflect ambient conditions (or warmer if an engine heater is being used). Do not operate the
tractor for heavy work until the engine temperature reaches 60 degrees Celsius. Generally, after the engine is
started and has run for a couple of minutes you can move the tractor around, but do not apply heavy loads.
Normal operating temperature is about 60-80 degrees Celsius, but can be hotter depending on conditions.
14) Tachometer: This gage shows both the current RPM (revolutions per minute) of the engine and the
cumulative engine hours of the engine. The normal RPM of the engine when in neutral, warmed up, and the
Hand Throttle is set to slow is between 600 and 700 RPM. When the tractor is working through the PTO or on a
steady task such as mowing, we recommend running the engine in the “Green Range” (about 2,100 to 2,400
RPM). (Note: Remember to operate the tractor below the “Green Range” during the Break-in period.) The hour
gage registers the number of hours the engine is running both at idle and at work.
A. Hour Meter: This records the cumulative time in hours that the engine has run.
15) Oil pressure gage: This indicates the oil pressure of the engine oil. The normal range is 0.2-0.4 MPa.
16) Fuel gage: This gage indicates the diesel fuel level of the fuel tank. The tank capacity is about 4.7
gallons (18 liters). The engine will run 10-15 hours (generally more) on a full diesel fuel tank depending on the
amount of work being done (higher RPMs use more fuel).
