1 Engine water temperature gauge
(Fahrenheit/Centigrade) Fig. 16
The coolant temperature during normal
operation should be between 65°C -
85°C (149°F - 185°F). If the temperature
should rise above 93°C (200°F) for a
prolonged period of time, stop the
engine and investigate the cause. The
engine should, on the other hand, not be
run at too low a temperature for long
periods either.
2 Engine oil temperature gauge
(Fahrenheit/Centigrade) Fig. 17
The lubricating oil temperature should
be between 80°C - 90°C (176°F -
194°F) when the engine is hot. If the
temperature should rise above 115°C
(240°F), stop the engine immediately
and investigate the cause.
3 Engine oil pressure gauge Fig. 18
(pounds per square inch/kiloPascal x
100)
The lubricating oil pressure should be
between 276 - 413 kPa (40 - 60 lb/in
2
)
when the engine is hot. If the pressure
should drop below 200 kPa (30 lb/in
2
) at
higher engine speeds than idling, stop
the engine immediately and investigate
the cause.
4 Ammeter (Ampere) Fig. 19
The ammeter indicates at what charging
current the battery is being charged by
the alternator, or to what extent current
is taken from the battery without the
battery being recharged.
