ENGINE CONTROLS (Items 6 Through to 13)
6. ENGINE HOUR METER / FUEL GAUGE
Combination hour meter fuel level gauge. The hour
meter displays the total time that the engine has
been running. This meter is a useful indicator for
scheduling preventive maintenance. The fuel gauge
displays the level of diesel fuel in the fuel tank. The
operator must watch the fuel level closely to
prevent running out of fuel and possibly having to
bleed the system.
7. RUN STOP SWITCH
The RUN position energizes the hold coil of the fuel
solenoid, hour meter, and rotor flashing circuit. The
STOP position stops the engine.
Note:
Do not leave switch in RUN position when
the engine is not running. In the RUN position
the battery will be discharged.
8. START PUSH BUTTON
Energizes the starter motor to crank the engine.
With the RUN / STOP switch in the RUN position,
push and hold the Start button to crank the engine;
release as the engine starts. Do not press while
engine is running as this can cause damage to the
ring gear and/or starter motor.
9. CIRCUIT BREAKER
The battery circuit breaker protects the engine cir-
cuitry that powers the three gauges, fuel/hours,
temperature and pressure. It also protects the
engine shutdown relay, timer delay relay, hot start
relay hold solenoid, and flashing circuitry. When
the circuit breaker opens because of a fault, the
engine will crank but will not start.
10. OIL TEMPERATURE GAUGE
An indicator of engine oil temperature.
11. OIL PRESSURE GAUGE
An indicator of engine oil pressure.
12. ENGINE PROTECTION
A warning indicator light for high oil temperature
or low oil pressure. The light remains off with
proper oil temperature and proper oil pressure. If
a fault is detected the light will turn on and the
engine protection system will stop the engine. The
light will remain on when the engine has been
shut down. In order to try and re-start the engine
the engine protection system must be reset by
returning the RUN-STOP switch to the STOP
position.
Note:
The light remains off when the RUN-STOP
switch is in the RUN position prior to starting the
engine. However if the engine is not started within
60 seconds the light will come on. When this hap-
pens the RUN-STOP switch must be returned to
the STOP position to reset the engine protection
system and light.
13. BATTERY CHARGING LIGHT
An indicator light for low/no battery charging. The
light is off when the battery charging system is
functioning normally. If light turns on, the alterna-
tor or the voltage regulator may not be operating
correctly or the cooling blower belt may be bro-
ken. The light will remain on when the engine is
stopped and the RUN / STOP switch is in the
RUN position.
AUXILIARY POWER (14-22)
14. CIRCUIT BREAKER
2-pole 15A rated. Provides overload protection
for the 240VAC European (IEC-309) receptacle.
15. 240 VAC RECEPTACLE
European (IEC-309) receptacle rated up to 15
amps and is IP44 rated.
Note:
A space is provided on the panel for adding a
2-pole Residual Current Device (RCD) to protect the
240V receptacle. See Section F for instructions on
installing an RCD.
16. CIRCUIT BREAKER
Single-pole 20A rated. Provides overload protec-
tion for the 120VAC (5-20R) NEMA Duplex
Receptacle.
