Testing the Fuel Gauge/Hour Meter
See Test Procedure 26 – Fuel Gauge on page 12-32.
See Test Procedure 27 – Hour Meter on page 12-33.
General Information
With the key switch in the OFF position, the fuel gauge field is blank; however, the hour meter field is always
ON. When the key switch is turned to ON, the fuel gauge field activates. The fuel gauge initially registers full
before indicating the actual fuel level.
The hour meter displays the number of hours of use in increments of 0.1 (one tenth) hour, but does not record
additional time unless the key switch is in the ON position and the engine is on. When recording, the hour-
glass icon blinks.
