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 right side of the lower
controls (refer to Figure 5.1). It measures the accumu-
lated engine operating time.
Figure 5.1 – Lower Controls
Engine Temperature Gauge
The temperature gauge is located on the lower control
panel (refer to Figure 5.1). The gauge displays the
temperature of the water and antifreeze mixture in the
engine block.
Ammeter
The ammeter is located on the lower control panel (refer
to Figure 5.1). 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 approximately “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.
Figure 5.2 – Air Filter Gauge
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 tank is translucent. The amount of fuel in the
tank can be gauged by raising the door on the right
rear of the machine (refer to Figure 5.3) and looking at
the tank. On older machines the fuel tank is behind the
cowling door on the right side of the machine. These
tanks have a gauge on top of them that measures the
amount of fuel in the tank.
Figure 5.3 – Fuel Tank
Note
Do not run a diesel fuel tank empty. Air in the fuel line
makes the engine hard to start.
LPG tanks have a fuel gauge that has two scales. One
scale measures the fuel level when the tank is mounted
vertical and the other is used when the tank is mounted
horizontal (refer to Figure 5.4).
