| Illustration 2 | g00636764 |
|
Coolant Temperature (4) - The gauge indicates the temperature of the engine coolant. If the gauge needle is in the red zone, the coolant temperature is excessive. |
|
Transmission Oil Temperature (5) - The gauge indicates the temperature of the transmission oil. If the gauge needle is in the red zone, the transmission oil temperature is excessive. |
|
Hydraulic Oil Temperature (6) - The gauge indicates the temperature of the hydraulic oil. If the gauge needle is in the red zone, the hydraulic oil temperature is excessive. |
|
Fuel Level (7) - The gauge shows the amount of fuel in the fuel tank. If the gauge needle is in the red zone, the fuel tank is low on fuel. |
Speedometer/Tachometer Display
| |
| Illustration 3 | g00636899 |
Tachometer (8) - The tachometer displays the engine rpm during operation.
Speedometer (9) - The speedometer displays the machine ground speed in mph or in km/h.
Gear/Direction Readout (10) - The gear readout displays the selected transmission gear and the selected direction.

Alert Indicators (11) - The monitoring system display has alert indicators which will indicate abnormal conditions of the machine.
Reference: Refer to Operation and Maintenance Manual, "Warning Categories (Caterpillar Monitoring System)" for information about each alert indicator.
Display Window (12) - The display window provides a digital readout that can show total operating hours of the engine (hour meter), current engine speed (tachometer), total travel distance (odometer), or active diagnostic codes. Also, the gauges in the gauge display may be monitored digitally in the display window.
Reference: Refer to Operation and Maintenance Manual, "Diagnostic Codes (Caterpillar Monitoring System)" for information about diagnostic codes.

Press the switch on the lower left side of the dashboard until the desired information is selected. The proper unit of measurement (°C, kPa, miles, km, rpm, liters, or service code) will be indicated at the top of the display window.
|
Hour meter (13) - When this indicator is on, the display window indicates the total operating hours of the engine. Use the hour meter to determine maintenance intervals. |
