3.Oil Pressure Alarm Lamp — Indicates that the oil pressure is too low or high and will shut down the engine.
4.Oil Pressure Alarm Lamp — Indicates that the water temperature is outside of normal range and will shut down the engine.
5.Fuel Filter Water Lever Alarm Lamp — Indicates that water level in the fuel level has risen. Drain the water in the fuel filter strainer when this condition occurs.
6.Preheat Lamp — When the ignition key is placed in the preheat position, this lamp will illuminate to indicate preheating of the engine glow plugs.When the lamp turns off, this indicates that the preheat cycle is complete and the engine can be started.
7.Ignition Switch — Three position switch, stop, operation and start. Insert ignition key to start and stop engine.
8.Oil Pressure Gauge — Normal operation should be between 28 ~71 psi (193 ~490 kPa). When starting the generator the oil pressure may read a bit higher, but after the engine warms up the oil pressure should return to normal.
9.Water Temperature Gauge — During normal operation this gauge be should read between 165° F to 203° F.
10.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.
11.Fuel Gauge — Indicates amount of diesel fuel available
12.Tachometer — Indicates engine speed in RPM’s for 60 Hz operation. This meter should indicate 1800 RPM’s when the rated load is applied. In addition a built in hour meter will record the number of operational hours that the generator has been in use
