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. 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.
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.
Oil Pressure:
The oil pressure gauge indicates the pressure of the oil inside the
engine lubrication system. A drop in oil pressure may be an indication
of a low oil situation or a leak. Continued operation of the engines
with low oil pressure could lead to engine damage. Refer to appropriate
manufacturer’s engine manual for more information.
