SECTION 2
– Control Panel
1. Control Panel Overview
•
The Shire 15 YM engine are supplied with a standard control panel.
•
The control panel is splash proof but is NOT fully water proof. The control panel needs
to be installed in a position where it is protected from water.
2. Warning Light Procedure
•
When the ignition is first turned on, the control panel warning lights will come on as a
bulb check. When the engine is started the warning lights will go out. Please note that
the water temperature warning light and glow plug light operate slightly differently.
•
The water temperature warning light will only come on for a brief period of time when
the ignition is first turned on as a bulb check. It will then only illuminate in the case of
the engine coolant temperature exceeding the maximum safety level.
•
The glow plug light will come on when the ignition is first turned on for 5
– 8 seconds
to indicate the heating system is operational. When the light goes out the engine can
be started.
•
Whilst the control panel is in operation all the gauges are backlit. This does not indicate
a fault and is a normal function for the control panel.
•
If any of the warning lights on the control panel come on whilst the engine is running,
please follow the correct procedure as shown in the following table.
In the event of a fault, only trained and qualified personnel should undertake
