2.5 Engine Monitoring
Description
With the engine start switch set to “RUN/START” or “REMOTE START”, engine
information will be continuously displayed on the bottom line of the LCD panel.
Indicators
OIL - Displays engine oil pressure. The gauge registers oil pressure between
0–100 psi. Normal operating pressure is between 60–80 psi. If oil pressure drops
below 15 psi, the engine will automatically shut down.
FUEL - Indicates the relative fuel level in the fuel tank. If fuel level drops to
5% the engine will automatically shut down.
TEMPERATURE - Displays the temperature of the engine's coolant. If the
coolant temperature gets too high, the engine will automatically shut down.
BATTERY - This gauge measures the engine starting battery voltage. A
normal reading is 13.5–14.5V. If the gauge falls much below or above these values,
the engine charging system should be checked. With the engine switch set to
“REMOTE START” and the generator in stand-by mode, actual battery voltage is
displayed.
ENGINE HOURS - Pressing the switch UP causes the engine’s running hours,
the periodic maintenance timer, and the Engine Diagnostic Trouble Codes set
points to be displayed. Engine hours are accumulated only while the engine is
actually running.
Note: When held down, this switch can be used to lock in a specific display for a
single phase.
