(2) Gages.
CONV TEMP GAGE
Indicates transmission torque con-
verter temperature.
Normal operating temperature indica-
tion is in green area of gage. If
gage pointer goes into red area, se-
lect a lower transmission speed. If
pointer remains in red area, stop
operation, move transmission control
lever in neutral (N) position, and
run engine at full throttle. If this
does not reduce temperature indica-
tion, stop engine and check trans-
mission oil level. If oil level is
okay, check radiator for obstruc-
tions.
VOLTMETER GAGE
Indicates voltage level of batter-
ies.
Voltage is normal when pointer indi-
cates 24 volts. If pointer indicates
below 22 volts, battery charge is
too low for continued operation or
alternator is not charging
batteries. If pointer is indicating
above 30 volts and you know that
batteries were not weak, alternator
is over charging batteries. If this
condition continues, damage to
batteries will result. Report these
problems to organizational
maintenance.
AIR PRESS GAGE
Indicates brake system air pressure.
Normal air pressure indicated when
pointer is in green area of gage. If
air pressure decreases and pointer
goes into red area, warning buzzer
will sound alerting you of this con-
dition. If air pressure continues to
decrease, parking brake will auto-
matically engage.
FUEL LEVEL GAGE
Indicates amount of fuel in fuel
tank.
WATER TEMP GAGE
Indicates temperature of coolant in
engine cooling system.
Normal coolant temperature indicated
when gage pointer is in green area.
If pointer goes into red area, stop
engine and check radiator coolant
level or for radiator obstructions.
