Ammeter – Continental, Cummins, Ford
and Hatz Engines
The ammeter is located on the engine gauge panel above
the lower controls (refer to Figure 5.2). The ammeter
displays the level of current flow from the alternator to
the batteries.
After the engine has been running for a few minutes
under normal operating conditions, the ammeter
gauge indicator should read “0.”
Voltmeter – General Motors Engines
The voltmeter is located on the engine gauge panel above
the lower controls (refer to Figure 5.2). The voltmeter
displays battery voltage.
After the engine has been running for a few minutes
under normal operating condition, the voltmeter
should indicate between 12.5 and 14 volts.
Engine Air Filter Gauge
The air filter gauge (refer to Figure 5.2) is located on the
engine gauge panel above the lower controls.
Note
Machines equipped with a Hatz engine do not have an
air filter that is accessible to the operator.
The air filter gauge measures the air pressure between
the intake manifold and the air filter.
The yellow indicator disk inside the sight glass stays
at its highest level when the engine is turned off.
When the yellow indicator disk reaches the red area,
it’s time to change the filter element.
After changing the filter, press the reset button to reset
the indicator disk to the bottom of the sight glass.
Fuel Gauge
The fuel gauge is located on top of the diesel or gasoline
tank (refer to Figure 5.3). Access the gauge by opening
the door on the right side of the chassis.

The aerial platform is equipped with several gauges to
monitor the condition of the machine before and during
operation.
Hour Meter
The hour meter is located on the lower control panel
(refer to Figure 5.1). It measures the accumulated engine
operating time.

Engine Temperature Gauge
The engine temperature gauge is located on the engine
gauge panel above the lower controls (refer to Figure
5.2).
Figure 5.2 – Engine Gauge Panel
The gauge on liquid cooled engines shows the tem-
perature of the water and antifreeze mixture in the
engine block.
The gauge on air cooled engines shows the tempera-
ture of the engine oil as the oil leaves the filter.
Note
Machines equipped with a Hatz engine do not have a
temperature gauge. However, Hatz engines do have tem-
perature sensors and automatic temperature shut-offs.
