Volt Meter:
The volt meter monitors the battery
condition as well as the alternator
performance. Normal voltage is
between 12.0 and 15.0 volts. Readings
outside of this range may indicate a
charging system or battery problem.
Temperature Gauge:
The temperature gauge monitors the
cooling system of the engine. A
sudden increase in the temperature
could be a sign that the engine
cooling system is malfunctioning.
Shut down the engine immediately
and investigate the problem. Consult
your engine manual for allowable
limits.
Fuel Gauge:
The fuel gauge indicates the level of
fuel inside the fuel tank(s). It is a
good idea to keep the fuel tanks
“topped off ” when possible to
reduce fuel vapors inside the tank.
It is also a good idea not to run the
fuel level close to empty in order to
leave an adequate “safety” factor.
