OPERATOR’S CONSOLE
The operator’s console (Figure 3) has the following
features:
Control Switch − This switch is used to start and
stop the genset, prime the engine fuel system and
restore the fault code (blinking status light).
Status Light − This is an LED (light emitting diode)
in the control switch which blinks rapidly during pre-
heat and cranking. (Preheat is the period of time
prior to engine cranking when the glow plugs pre-
heat the combustion chambers. The time is auto-
matically varied by the genset controller on the ba-
sis of engine temperature.) After the genset starts
up, this light stays on continuously, indicating that
the genset is running and that the starter has dis-
connected. Also, if the genset shuts down, this light
blinks in a coded fashion to indicate the nature of the
shutdown (see Troubleshooting, Page 21).
Line Circuit Breaker(s) − The line circuit break-
er(s) protect the AC power leads connected to the
genset.
Engine Oil Fill Cap/Dipstick − The oil dipstick is at-
tached to the fill cap and is marked ADD and FULL.
Coolant Recovery Tank Fill Cap − The recovery
tank provides for coolant expansion. Replenish the
normal loss of coolant by filling here.
Coolant Pressure Cap − The coolant pressure cap
is accessible by removing the access plate on the
control console. It provides for a pressurized engine
cooling system. Fill coolant here when refilling the
system.
Fuses F1, F2 and F3 − These fuses are accessible
by removing the access plate on the control con-
sole. They protect the control circuits of the genset.
Hour Meter (Optional)− The hour meter records
the total running time of the genset. It cannot be re-
set.
REMOTE CONTROL PANEL
The vehicle may be equipped with a remote control
panel having a Control Switch and Preheat/Diag-
nostics Light. In addition, it may have an hour me-
ter and the following engine gauges:
Oil Pressure Gauge − The oil pressure gauge indi-
cates the presence of engine oil pressure.
Water Temperature Gauge − The water tempera-
ture gauge indicates engine coolant temperature.
Voltmeter − The voltmeter indicates battery volt-
age.
