4. Tachometer:
Displays engine speed in revolutions per minute (RPM). Tachometer reads
output pulse of alternator. If tachometer quits or indicates irratically, have
alternator checked immediately.
5. Odometer/Trip Meter:
Odometer/trip meter is located in dash, this records mileage driven as well
as keeps track of mileage on a trip. To operate trip meter push button labeled
"trip" which changes odometer mileage reading to trip mileage reading.
Reset button sets trip mileage back to zero.
6. Fuel:
Fuel gauge will register approximate fuel level in tank, when ignition
switch is in run position.
NOTE: Fuel mileage varies with driving style and road conditions.
Always average more than one tankful to obtain a more accurate
figure. Optional diesel Generator and Aqua-Hot system both use fuel
from main tank, and will affect fuel mileage figures. Diesel
Generators and Aqua-Hot will not operate below 1/4 tank to insure
there is enough fuel to run main engine.
7. Speedometer:
Indicates the speed of the motorhome. The guage indicates MPH and KPH.
Located on right side of instrument cluster.
8. Oil Pressure:
Indicates pressure of oil and not the amount of oil in system. Please refer to
manufacturer’s instructions for specific pressure recommendations.
9. Coolant Temp:
Under average conditions the gauge will read between 180° F and 205° F.
Monitor this gauge frequently when CLIMBING HILLS, TOWING OR IN
HIGH AMBIENT TEMPERATURES. If the gauge shows that an
overheating condition exists (the needle moving above the 212° F area),
IMMEDIATE ACTION should be taken.
Overheating may be a result of any of the following conditions:
• Low coolant level.
• Hydraulic fan motor failure.
• Mechanical failure of hoses or belts.
• Blocking of charge air cooler fins.
• Climbing a long hill on a hot day.
• Towing a heavy trailer.
• Idling for long periods of time.
