SECTION 2 – OPERATION

8. Temperature Gauge-Indicates coolant
temperature. It is activated when the key
switch is turned to the "ON" or "HEAT"
positions. The gauge will register cold with
the key switch in the "STOP" position. If the
needle registers in the green range of the
gauge, this indicates a normal operating
temperature. If the needle moves to the red
portion of the gauge, this indicates an
overheated condition. Stop the tractor engine
immediately and investigate the cause.
9. Tachometer-Registers engine RPM
(Revolutions Per Minute). The gauge is
marked in increments of 100 and will return
to zero when the engine is not running.
10. Rear PTO Speed-Determined by the position
of the needle on the tachometer. The
tachometer is marked to indicate 540 PTO
RPM. Engine RPM should remain close to
this mark while using the rear PTO; running
the engine faster than this results in a
dangerous overspeed condition.
11. High Beam Indicator – Illuminates when the,
head-lights are switched to main beam.
12. Parking Brake Light – Illuminates if the
parking brake is engaged when the key
switch is turned from "OFF" position.
