Chapter 5. Gauges and Displays
The aerial platform is equipped with several gauges to
monitor the condition of the machine before and during
operation.
Hour Meter
The hour meter is located below the lower controls (re-
fer to Figure 5.1). It measures the accumulated engine
operating time.
Figure 5.1—Lower Controls
Engine Temperature Gauge
The temperature gauge is located below the lower con-
trol panel (refer to Figure 5.1).
On liquid cooled engines it shows the temperature of
the water and antifreeze mixture in the engine block.
The gauge on air cooled engines shows the tempera-
ture of the engine oil as the oil leaves the filter.
Ammeter
The ammeter is located below the lower control panel
(refer to Figure 5.1). The ammeter displays the level of
current flow from the alternator to the batteries.
After the engine has been running for a few minutes un-
der normal operating conditions, the ammeter gauge in-
dicator should read “0.”
Engine Air Filter Gauge
The air filter gauge (refer to Figure 5.2) is located above
the lower control panel on the air cleaner. The gauge
measures the air pressure between the intake manifold
and the air filter.
Figure 5.2—Air Filter Gauge
When the area inside the clear section of the indicator is
red, it’s time to change the filter element.
Fuel
The fuel gauge is located on top of the tank (refer to Fig-
ure 5.3). The gauge indicates the fluid level in frac-
tions-of-a-full-tank.
Figure 5.3—Gasoline or Diesel Fuel Tank
Note
Do not run a diesel fuel tank empty. Air in the fuel line
makes the engine hard to start.
LPG tanks have a fuel gauge that has two scales. One
scale measures the fuel level when the tank is mounted
vertical and the other is used when the tank is mounted
horizontal (refer to Figure 5.4).
