All controls and gauges are optional equipment for John

IMPORTANT: Any time an electric gauge or meter
does not register correctly, replace it
with a new one. Do not attempt to repair
it.
Following is a brief description of the components on a
basic instrument (gauge) panel:
A—Tachometer with Hourmeter (Optional) - The
tachometer with hourmeter indicates engine speed in
revolutions per minute (rpm) and shows the operating
hours of the engine while key switch is in the “ON”
position. The hour meter should be used as a guide for
scheduling periodic service.
B—Oil Pressure Gauge - The oil pressure gauge
indicates engine oil pressure. If the engine oil pressure
falls below a safe operating pressure, the engine will shut
down.
C—Voltmeter Gauge - The voltmeter indicates system
battery voltage.
D—Coolant Temperature Gauge - The coolant
temperature gauge indicates the engine coolant
temperature. If coolant temperature rises above the
preset, safe operating temperature, the engine will shut
down.
E—Pre-Heat Button - Press button to activate the
preheater for cold weather starting.
F—Reset (Safety) Switch- Reset button will pop out and
shut down the engine if the coolant temperature is too
high or oil pressure is too low. Press in and hold while
starting engine until oil pressure is at a safe operating
level.
G—Fuse Holder - Contains 14 amp fuse.
