2.2.2 Instruments
1. The engine hour meter registers how many hours the engine has
operated. It is sealed and can record 99999.9 hours before it returns to
zero.
2. The fuel gauge shows the amount of fuel in the fuel tank. A sending unit
in the tank is connected to the gauge. The gauge is marked E and F to
indicate the relative quantity of fuel in the tank. Keep the needle in the
green part of the gauge.
3. The oil pressure gauge indicates oil pressure only (not oil level). It is
marked 0 to 100 with intermediate index marks.
4. The voltmeter registers voltage across the battery terminals. The needle
should be in the 13V-14V range while the tractor is operating. If the needle
registers below this range while the tractor is operating, this indicates that
the battery is not being charged by the alternator. Stop the tractor and
inspect the battery, cables, and alternator connections.
5. The coolant temperature gauge shows the coolant temperature in the
engine’s water jacket. The gauge needle should rise when the engine is
started, then level out at between 150 and 200 as the engine warms up. If
the needle goes above this range, stop the engine and check for a cooling
system problem.
6. The transmission oil temperature gauge shows the temperature of
the transmission uid. Normal operating temperature is in the 120F to
280F range. If the needle goes above this range, stop the engine and
troubleshoot the cause.
7. Fuses for all electrical circuits (except the optional cab) are located under
the instrument panel in fuse blocks.
