7. TRANS TEMP:
Shows approximate normal operating temperature of the transmission fl uid. Do not let the transmission
cooler oil temperature exceed OEM specifi cations. If excessive temperature is indicated, stop the
motorhome and shift to neutral. Accelerate the engine at 1200 to 1500 RPM and allow temperature to return
to normal. Refer to the Aladdin system if the needle indicates an out of range condition.
8. OIL PRESSURE:
Indicates oil pressure, not the amount of oil in the engine. Please refer to manufacturer’s instructions for
specifi c pressure recommendations.
9. FUEL:
Fuel gauge will register approximate fuel level in tank when ignition switch is in run position.
NOTE:
Fuel mileage varies with driving style and road conditions. Always average more
than one tank of fuel to obtain a more accurate figure. The diesel Generator and the
Aqua-Hot system both use fuel from main tank and will affect fuel mileage figures.
Diesel Generators and Aqua-Hot will not operate below 1/4 tank to ensure there is
enough fuel to run main engine.
10. VOLTMETER:
Shows the charge condition in the chassis battery. The normal voltage with the ignition switch
ON

the engine OFF varies between 12.0 and 13 Volts. Battery charging voltage is about 14.0 Volts when
the engine is operating under a normal load. Battery readings of less than 10.5, or more than 15 Volts,
usually indicate a battery or electrical system problem.
