4.9 Control Panel
The control panel is mounted to the dash under the back hood access cover of the
machine. It contains the following features:
Ref. Component Description
a Charging system light The engine is equipped with an alternator and
voltage regulator to maintain the battery charge. The
charging system warning light illuminates when there
is a malfunction of the system. Although the machine
will run with the light on for a short period of time,
continued operation will drain the battery and
eventually cause the machine to lose all operating
functions.
If the system warning light illuminates while
operating the machine in a narrow trench or other
confined area, drive machine into a safer area as
soon as possible to avoid stranding it in a hazardous
or inaccessible location.
b Glow plug light The engine is equipped with an automatic glow plug
system that pre-heats the combustion chambers to
improve normal and cold weather starts. The glow
plug light illuminates when the keyswitch and the
transmitter ON/OFF switch are placed in the ON (l)
positions. It will go off when the combustion
chambers are pre-heated.
Allow 5 minutes for the engine to warm up before
operating the roller.
c Air cleaner light The air cleaner warning light illuminates when the air
filter cartridge needs to be replaced.
d Hour meter The hour meter records the actual running time of
the engine. Use the hour meter when planning
scheduled maintenance.
