15. ELECTRIC FUEL GAUGE- The electric fuel gauge gives accurate and reliable indication as to how much fuel is in the fuel tank.

16. ENGINE HOUR METER- Displays the total time that the engine has been running. This meter is useful for scheduling prescribed maintenance.

17. ENGINE PROTECTION LIGHT- A warning indicator light for Low Oil Pressure and/or Coolant Over Temperature. The light is off when the sys- tems are functioning properly. The light turns on when the RUN-STOP switch is in the “ON” posi- tion prior to starting the engine. If the Engine Protection or Battery Charging Lights do “not” turn off shortly after starting the engine shut off the engine immediately and determine the cause.
