3. 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 tankful to obtain a more accurate fig-
ure. 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 insure
there is enough fuel to run main engine.
4
. Gen Hours:
Displays the total number of hours accumulated on the genera-
tor. Use the hour meter as a reference for recommended service intervals.
5. Odometer/Trip Meter:
This button is used to toggle between the odometer
and trip meter. Holding the button down for two seconds will reset the meter.
6. Oil Pressure: Indicates oil pressure, not the amount of oil in the engine.
Please refer to manufacturer’s instructions for specific pressure recommenda-
tions.
7. Speedometer: Indicates the speed of the motorhome. The guage indicates
MPH and KPH. Located on right side of instrument cluster.
8. Tachometer:
Displays engine speed in revolutions per minute (RPM).
Tachometer reads output pulse of alternator. If tachometer quits, or indicates
irratically, have alternator checked immediately.
9. Trans Temp:
Shows temperature of transmission fluid. Normal transmis-
sion operating temperature is 160-250° F. The maximum transmission to cooler
oil temperature is 300° F. Do not let the transmission temperature exceed 275°
F. If excessive temperature is indicated, stop motorhome and shift to neutral.
Accelerate engine to 1200-1500 RPM and allow temperature to return to nor-
mal.
10. Turbo Boost:
Indicates boost pressure produced by the engine turbocharg-
er.
11. Voltmeter:
This gauge shows the charge condition in the chassis battery.
The normal voltage with the ignition switch ON and the engine OFF varies
between 12.0 and 13 Volts. With the engine operating without a heavy load, the
battery charging voltage is about 14.0 Volts. Battery readings of less than 10.5,
or more than 15 Volts, usually indicates a battery or electrical system problem.
NOTE: Layouts will vary with difference in models or options.
