4.Charging Ammeter Gauge – Indicates the current being supplied by the engine’s alternator which provides current for generator’s control circuits and battery charging system.

5.Oil Pressure Indicator - This light will luminate if the oil pressure exceeds 35 psi and will shut off the engine.

6.Water Temperature Indicator - This light will luminate if the water temperature exceeds 2150 and will shut off the engine.

7.Lamp Check Switch (see Control Panel)- Test switch for the lamp indicator on the control panel that the oil pressure and water temperature warning system is working properly.

8.Panel light switch- When activated, will turn on control panel light.

9.Speed Control Handle- To change the speed of the engine from idle to high, pull and turn the handle.

10.Pre-Heat Indicator - This light will luminate once the engine is warmed to an operating temperature.
