The engine oil pressure indicator light (1), will
not come ON with the engine running, unless
there is low or no oil pressure. Stop the engine
immediately, if the light comes ON.

electric engine control system if the light comes
ON. Refer G424E/G430E Engines of this
section.

The engine coolant temperature gauge pointer
(6) will be in the green band with the engine
running, unless the coolant temperature is
excessive.
7.
The transmission oil temperature gauge pointer
(7) will be in the green band with the engine
running, unless the oil temperature is excessive.

Observe the hour meter to make sure it is
operating properly.
If the excessive valve noise
occurs (G424 and G424E Engine
Only)
In normal case, the recommended engine oil for
G424 engine is SAE 10W30.
But, if the excessive valve noise occurs up to five
minutes after a cold start and if the maximum
ambient temperature is lower than 10 C (50 F), it is
recommended to change engine oil to SAE 5W30
for that application.
