3.2.1.2 GAUGES
1. Fuel gauge
It indicates the fuel level in the tank and functions only when the
ignition key is in position ON (see "3.2.2 pos: 1. Ignition switch").
F: maximum level.
E: minimum level.
If the quantity of fuel in the tank is less than 3.3 litres, the indicator
reaches the red reserve area (A).
q
If the indicator reaches the red reserve area (A) during use,
stop the machine and provide for refuelling.
2. Hour meter
This instrument indicates the total number of operating hours of
the engine. The count is continuous and the hour number is in-
creased by 0.1 when the engine has worked for 0.1 hour (6 min-
utes), independently of the engine speed. When the engine is
running, the LED positioned on the hour meter comes on, indicat-
ing that the count is proceeding.
If the engine is on, the hour meter keeps counting even if the ma-
chine is not working.
The reading of the hour meter must be used as reference for the
machine maintenance intervals.
