The instrument panel can be divided in

A Control lamps
B Measuring indicators
C Warning lights

In the following sections of this chapter, all elements required for

an efficient machine operation are explained in detail.

Control lamps

This group comprises the control lamps for parking brake, high
beam, low beam, heated rear windscreen, air preheater, direction
indicator, driving direction switch, E.C.S.S. (option) and control
lamps for the high-speed gear (option).

Measuring indicators

This group comprises the fuel gauge, the operating hour meter
and the temperature indicator of the coolant.

Warning lights

This group comprises the warning lights for charging current, air
filter, engine oil-pressure and brake fluid supply.

6 Warning light: water separator

1. Brake fluid warning light

If the brake fluid supply is too low, the brake fluid warning light
lights up in red.

In this case you must immediately stop the machine and switch
off the engine. Proceed as described in chapter Troubleshooting:
"4.6. Other troubles" on page 4-10“.

2. Air filter warning light

If the air filter is polluted, the air filter warning light lights up in red.

In this case, you must clean or exchange the air filter. Proceed as
described in chapter Maintenance: "Air filter, removing and re-
installing the filter insert, checking and cleaning the filter insert" on
page 5-46.

Operation 3.2. Description of the individual elements

3. Parking brake control lamp

The parking brake control lamp lights up in red if you set the start
switch to the 'I' operating position while the parking brake is
applied.

In addition, the acoustic warner sounds if you set the driving

direction switch to forward or reverse driving with the parking 75_005
brake applied.

4. Charging current warning light

● Before you start up the engine:

The charging current warning light must light up if you set the
start switch to the 'I' operating position.

● With the engine running:

As soon as the engine runs, the generator starts to generate
current and to charge the battery. At the same time, the
charging current warning light will go out. A fault is present, if 75_011
the charging current warning light does not go out while the
engine is running.

In the latter case, proceed as described in chapter "4.6. Other

troubles" on page 4-10

5. Engine oil-pressure warning light

● Before you start up the engine:

The engine oil-pressure warning light must light up if you set
the start switch to the 'I' operating position. At the same time,
the acoustic warner will sound.

● With the engine running:

After starting the engine, the lubricating pressure builds up
75_012
and the lamp goes out. If the engine oil-pressure warning light
does not go out with the engine running or if it suddenly lights
up during operation, while the acoustic warner sounds at the
same time, a fault has occurred in the oil-pressure system.

In both cases, you must immediately stop the machine and switch
off the engine. Proceed as described in the chapter "4.6. Other
troubles" on page 4-10

6. Warning light: Water separator

The warning light of the water separator lights up in red when too
much water has collected in the water separator at the fuel filer.

If this is the case, you have to drain the water from the water sep-
arator.

Proceed as described in the chapter Maintenance "Water separa-

tor at the fuel filter – Draining water and dirt sediments" on
page 5-31.

Operation 3.2. Description of the individual elements

1. Control lamp in hazard warning lights switch

The control lamp flashes when the hazard warning lights are
switched on.

2. Driving direction switch indicators

The indicators of the driving direction switch indicate which driving

direction you have selected:

● left arrow lights up:

Machine drives backwards GK100836
(driving direction switch in 'R' position)

● right arrow lights up:

Machine drives forward
(driving direction switch in 'F' position)

If the driving direction switch is set to the 'N' neutral position, both
control lamps will go out.

3. Direction indicator control lamp

The direction indicator control lamp flashes if you have switched

on the right or left direction indicators or the hazard flashers.

If the direction indicator control lamp flashes in very short

intervE.C.S.S., a fault has occurred in the direction indicator
GK100837
system. In this case, proceed as described in chapter "4.6. Other
troubles" on page 4-10.

4. Air preheater control lamp

The control lamp lights up, if you set the start switch to the 'I'
operating position and if the air preheater is running.

You can start the engine, after the control lamp has gone out.

again lights up after the start, for 30 s.

5. Heated rear windscreen indicator

The control lamp of the heated rear windscreen lights up, if you
have switched on the heated rear windscreen.
