T27i Operating Instructions
35
Voltmeter
The voltmeter displays battery and charging sys-
tem voltage. An indication of low or high voltage
(the red area) indicates an electrical system
failure. The cause of the failure should be deter-
mined and corrected.
Oil Pressure Warning Light/Horn
The oil pressure warning light and horn indicate
that engine oil pressure is below the safe operating
level [below 3 to 5 PSI (21 to 34 kPa)]. This light
(and warning horn) will come on when the ignition
is turned ON, but should go o after the engine is
started. If the light fails to come on when the igni-
tion switch is turned ON, it could indicate a burned
out bulb. If the light comes on during engine oper-
ation, stop the engine immediately and correct the
source of the problem before further engine opera-
tion.
IMPORTANT: Continued operation of the engine
with an illuminated oil pressure warning light MAY
cause severe engine damage (if a low oil pressure
condition exists).
Over Temperature Warning Light/Horn
The over temperature warning light and horn indi-
cate that the engine cylinder head temperature is
above the safe operating limit (450° F or 232° C)
and the engine is overheating. If this light comes
on, there may be a problem with the engine cool-
ing system (material packed into cylinder head
cooling ns, clogged air intake screen, etc.). Stop
the engine and correct the source of the problem
before further operation.
IMPORTANT: Continued operation of the engine
with an illuminated over temperature warning light
MAY cause severe engine damage if a high cylin-
der head temperature condition exists.
Engine Service Light
The engine service light indicates that the engine
Electronic Control Unit (ECU) has detected a fault
in the engine performance. When this light illumi-
nates during operation, contact an authorized
Kohler Service dealer to diagnose the fault.
IMPORTANT: Continued operation of the engine
with an illuminated engine service light will result in
sub-standard performance and MAY cause engine
damage if not corrected as soon as possible.
