Controls and Indicators
WARNING
• Unlock differential on paved surfaces to maintain steering control.
CAUTION
• The differential lock should only be engaged when the vehicle is stopped. Damage to the transaxle
may occur if there is a large amount of relative motion between the two driving wheels.
LOW OIL PRESSURE WARNING LIGHT
The low oil pressure warning light (9) is located on the instrument panel just to the left of the steering column
(Figure
10)
. If the warning light comes on while the engine is running, the oil level should be checked and oil added to the
engine as necessary before vehicle use continues. The vehicle should never be driven when the low oil pressure
warning light remains lit. If the warning light goes on and off, the vehicle may be driven, but oil should be added at
the first opportunity. If the oil level is correct and the warning light remains lit, have a trained technician check the
vehicle.
See following CAUTION.
CAUTION
• Failure to add oil immediately when the low oil warning light stays on may result in permanent
engine damage.
FUEL GAUGE/HOUR METER
The fuel gauge and hour meter (8) are housed together on the right side of the instrument panel
(Figure 10)
. The fuel
gauge operates when the key switch is in the ON position and allows the operator to monitor the fuel level in the vehicle.
The hour meter operates only when the engine is running, and should be used by the trained technician to track vehicle
usage and determine when periodic service procedures are required.
See Periodic Service Schedule on page 34.
HEADLIGHT CONTROL
The headlight control (12) is located on the left side of the instrument panel
(Figure 10)
. Press the headlight rocker
switch to turn the headlights on or off.
See following NOTE.
NOTE:
Using the headlights for extended periods while the engine is either off or idling will discharge the battery.
