Hour Meter
The hour meter records the number of hours the engine
has operated. It operates when the engine is running.
Use these times for scheduling regular maintenance
(Figure 7).
Fuel Gauge
The fuel gauge is located on the top, middle of the tank
(Figure 5).
Safety Interlock Indicators
There are symbols on the hour meter and indicate with
a black triangle that the interlock component is in the
correct position (Figure 7).
Battery Indicator Light
If the ignition key is turned to the
On
position for a few
seconds, the battery voltage will be displayed in the area
where the hours are normally displayed.
The battery light turns on when the ignition is turned
on and when the charge is below the correct operating
level (Figure 7).
