•
The tachometer indicates engine speed in revo-
lutions per minute.
•
The red zone indicates that engine is over-
reved. Reduce the vehicle speed sufficiently so
that the needle does not enter this range during
downhill driving or downshifting.
CAUTION
The term “overrev” refers to an operational
state of the engine in which it turns at an RPM
exceeding the maximum limit. Persistent over-
revving could lead to an engine failure.
The air pressure gauge indicates the amount of air
pressure in the air tank. The upper gauge indi-
cates the front brake line air pressure, and the lower
gauge indicates the rear brake line pressure. Red
zone indicates that air pressure is either too low or
too high.
If the needle deflects into the red zone , warning
lamp lights up and a buzzer sounds. Whenever
the warning lamp illuminates, pull off the road
as soon as you can safely do so, and let the engine
rotate at a speed in the intermediate range until air
pressure builds to a normal level. If air pressure
fails to build or takes longer to return to a normal
level than it should, or again, if the needle indicates
a high pressure over 130 psi, call an authorized
dealer.
