The HOURS gauge cannot be reset. Use it to tell
when it is time to perform the periodic
maintenance listed in the Maintenance Manual.

FUEL

The fuel gauge (1) is located on top of the
gasoline or diesel fuel tank (2). Read it at the line
(3) in the clear plastic window (4). It reads in
fractions-of-a-full-tank. The tank shown is a little
more than 1/4 full.

NOTE: Do not run a diesel fuel tank dry. Air in
the fuel line makes a diesel engine hard to
start.

(OPTION - LPG) LPG tanks have two fuel
gauges (1) (2) on top. One measures correctly
when the tank is standing on end (VERTICAL)
the other measures correctly when the tank is
laying down (HORIZONTAL). Both read in
fractions-of- a-full-tank. TB126J tanks are
mounted horizontally. Therefore, you should read
the HORIZONTAL scale (2).

HYDRAULIC OIL LEVEL

The hydraulic-oil level gauge (1) is on the side of
the hydraulic oil tank (2). It shows the actual level
of oil inside the tank. Read it only when the
booms are completely down and completely
retracted. Otherwise, the lift and/or extend
cylinders become large reservoirs for hydraulic
oil and the oil level in the tank will be low. The oil
level (3) should be between the HIGH mark (4)
and LOW mark (5).

HYDRAULIC OIL TEMPERATURE

The hydraulic-oil temperature gauge (1) is
located at the bottom of the hydraulic-oil level
gauge. It measures the temperature of the oil in
the tank (2). The temperature should not exceed
200°F (93°C). If it does, reduce your driving
speed or stop the TB126J to let the hydraulic oil
cool.
