INSTRUMENT PANEL
1. Cold Starting Indicator Light
Illuminate when the key switch is turned to the
"HEAT" position. It remains lit for approximately 5
seconds when the key is held in position, during
which time the glow plugs are heating the
pre-combustion chambers.
2. Engine Oil Pressure Warning Light
Illuminates with the key switch in the "ON" or
"HEAT" positions and remains lit for a short
period of time after the engine is started. The
light indicates oil pressure only and goes out
when sufficient oil pressure is present at the oil
sender. If the bulb becomes lit during operation,
stop the tractor engine immediately and
investigate the cause.
3. Battery Charge Warning Light
Illuminates when the key switch is in the "ON" or
"HEAT" positions and goes out when the engine
is started. If this bulb becomes lit during
operation, it indicates that the charging system is
not operating normally. As the battery can
become fully discharged under these conditions,
the problem should be investigated as soon as
possible.
4. Proof Meter
Records the hours and portions of hours that
your tractor has been operated based on an
average engine speed of 3000 RPM. Engine
speeds below 3000 RPM accumulate engine
hours at a slower rate than clock hours. Engine
speeds above 3000 RPM accumulate engine
hours faster than clock hours. Use the proof
meter as a guide to determine hourly service and
maintenance intervals.
