Indicator Lights
Glow Plug Indicator Light
The glow plug indicator light should come on when the
ignition switchis placed in the RUN position prior to plac-
ing the ignition switch in START. The light should stay lit
for approximately six (6) seconds while the ignition
switch is left in the RUN position. The indicator light
should also be illuminated when the ignition switch is in
the START position.
High Temperature Warning Light
If the engine coolant temperature reaches 221
o
F
(105
o
C) (approximate), the high temperature warning
light should come on.
NOTE: When machine is in mow operation, high cool-
ant temperature will cause the cutting decks to shut off
in addition to warning light illumination.
Engine Oil Pressure Light
The engine oil pressure light should come on when the
ignition switch is in the RUN position with the engine not
running. Also, it should illuminate with the engine run-
ning if the engine oil pressure drops to an unsafe level.
Totestthe oil pressure lightandcircuitwiring, groundthe
wire attached to oil pressure switch located on the en-
gine near the oil filter. Turn ignition switch to the RUN
position; the engine oil pressurelight should come onin-
dicating correct operation of the indicator light and cir-
cuit wiring.
Charge Indicator Light
Thechargeindicatorlightshould come onwhen the igni-
tion switch is in the RUN position withthe engine not run-
ning. Also, it should illuminate with an improperly
operating charging circuit while the engine is running.
Testing Indicator Lights
If testing of the indicator lights is necessary:
1. Remove control arm covers to gain access to indica-
tor light and harness connectors (see Control Arm Dis-
assembly in the Service and Repairs section of Chapter
6 -- Chassis).
2. Locate the indicatorlight to betested and disconnect
the wire harness electrical connector from the light.
3. Apply 12 VDC to terminals 1A and 2A (Fig. 20).
4. Ground terminals 1B and 2B (Fig. 20).
5. Both indicator lights should illuminate.
6. Connect wire harness electrical connector to the in-
dicator light.
7. Install control arm cover to machine (see Control
Arm Assembly in the Service and Repairs section of
Chapter 6 -- Chassis).
