GEKKO GTO 22, Owner'S Manual

Page: 82 / 148

This gauge indicates the approximate quantity of fuel remaining in the tank when the
ignition is in the “ON” position.
IMPORTANT
DO NOT run the tank to empty. To prevent condensation from forming in the tank, it
is recommended that the tank be filled when the gauge indicates 1/4 tank of fuel
remaining.
The following conditions may be considered normal operation of the fuel gauge and
fuel system:
• Gas station pumps may shut off before the fuel gauge indicates FULL.
• The amount of fuel required for fill-up may not exactly correspond to the gauge.
• The gauge needle may not move away from FULL until some time after fill-up
• The gauge needle may move during turns, stops and acceleration.
IMPORTANT
Become familiar with engine hourly fuel consumption at various speeds and know
when to check the fuel gauge.
Voltmeter Gauge TOP
The voltmeter indicates whether the battery is charging or discharging. The needle
should be located in the normal range while the engine is running.
If the voltmeter does not register in the normal range, there may be a problem within
the electrical system. It is normal for the voltmeter needle to fall when starting the
engine. Normal range is 12 to 14 volts.
Oil Pressure Gauge TOP
The oil pressure gauge indicates the oil pressure in the engine while the engine is
running.
If the oil pressure remains below the normal range of 20 to 40 psi, stop the engine
immediately. If engine is allowed to run while oil pressure is too low, permanent
engine damage may occur. See engine owners manual for proper oil pressure readings.
CAUTION !
Running the engine with low oil pressure may cause severe engine damage.
