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 front of the lower con-
trols (refer to Figure 5.1). It measures the accumulated
engine operating time.
Figure 5.1 – Lower Controls
Engine Temperature Gauge
The temperature gauge is located on the gauge panel
above the lower controls (refer to Figure 5.2).
Figure 5.2 – Engine Gauge Panel
On liquid cooled engines it shows the temperature 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.
Ammeter
The ammeter is located on the engine gauge panel (re-
fer 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.”
Engine Air Filter Gauge
The air filter gauge (refer to Figure 5.2) is located above
the lower control panel. The 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
The fuel gauge is on top of the fuel tank (refer to Figure
5.3). Read the gauge at the line in the clear plastic win-
dow. The fuel tank is behind the doors on the right side
of the machine.
Note
Do not run a diesel fuel tank empty. Air in the fuel line
makes the engine hard to start.
