Controls and Indicators
12-VOLT ACCESSORY OUTLET
The 12-volt accessory outlet (11) is located to the right of the key switch (Figure 7). It provides a constant 12VDC with
the key switch in the ON or OFF position. See following NOTE.
NOTE: Extended use of this accessory outlet can cause the battery to become heavily discharged.
LOW OIL WARNING LIGHT
The low oil warning light (9) is located on the instrument panel just to the left of the steering column (Figure 7). If the
warning light lights up, oil should be checked and added to the engine as necessary before vehicle use continues. The
vehicle should never be driven when the low oil warning light remains lit. If the warning light alternately lights and
darkens, the vehicle may be driven, but oil should be added at the rst opportunity. If the oil level is correct and the
warning light remains lit, have a trained technician check the vehicle. See following CAUTION.
CAUTION
• Failure to add oil immediately when the low oil warning light stays on may result in permanent
engine damage.
FUEL GAUGE/HOUR METER
The fuel gauge and hour meter (8) are housed together on the right side of the instrument panel (Figure 7). The fuel
gauge operates when the key switch is in the ON position and allows the operator to monitor the fuel level in the vehicle.
The hour meter operates only when the engine is running, and should be used by the trained technician to track vehicle
usage and determine when periodic service procedures are required. See Periodic Service Schedule on page 29.
HEADLIGHT/TAILLIGHT CONTROL
The headlight/taillight control (12) is located on the left side of the instrument panel (Figure 7). Press the headlight
rocker switch to turn the headlights on or off. See following NOTE.
NOTE: Using the headlights for extended periods while the engine is either off or idling will discharge the battery.
TURN SIGNAL
There are two turn signal indicator lights (14) on the instrument panel (Figure 7). The upper symbol indicates the turn
direction for the vehicle; the lower symbol indicates the turn direction for an attached trailer.
The turn signal control (1) is mounted on the steering column (Figure 9). Move the handle up to indicate a right-hand
turn. Move the handle down to indicate a left-hand turn. Return the handle to the center position after completing a turn.
NOTE: If the turn signal light burns out, the indicator light on the instrument panel will ash at twice the normal speed.
If an attached trailer’s turn signal light burns out, the indicator light will not ash.
HORN
The horn button (3) is located on the end of the turn signal handle (Figure 9). Press the button in to sound the horn.
