13.7.1 Water Level Management
The sight tube on the rear of the tank and the electronic Water Level Indicator both display the
water level in the onboard tank. A low water warning will alert the operator when the water tank
reaches 25% of its capacity. When the low water alert activates, there will be about 750 litres of
