Hour Meter/ Battery Status Indicator (BSI)
The hour meter and BSI are combined into one unit and is located to the
right of the headlight switch in the middle of the dash panel battery status
indicator.
The hour meter, located on the bottom of the display, records the number
of hours the vehicle has been in operation.
The battery status indicator, located on the
top of the display, has a LED bar graph
that indicates the relative state of charge
of the battery. The right LED will light only
when connected to a fully charged battery
or after completing a charging cycle.
Successive LED’s to the left will light as
the battery charge diminishes. When the
second from the left LED flashes the
battery energy status is in energy reserve and should be placed on
charge as soon as possible. When the two left LED’s are alternately
flashing the batteries are empty and the truck should be taken out of
service and charged to avoid damaging the batteries. The BSI will reset
to fully charged only after a complete charge cycle is completed. A
complete charge cycle is defined as battery voltage exceeding 2.35
volts per cell for a minimum of 6 minutes.
Hi-Low Switch
The high-low switch is located on the lower left of the instrument panel.
Push on the left side of the switch (turtle) for slow speed. Push on the right
