'''NOTE:''' Some items operate at all times, some require the 12 volt master to be on, while others need the 12 volt master and the ignition on. Gauges marked with an * require the engine to be at nor­mal operating temperature for correct readings.

# '''Engine Oil Temperature''' - Gauge-Gives a constant reading of the engine oil in the supply line from the pump. The normal operating temper­ature is from 200°F to 250°F. If the temperature goes over 250° the engine may be low on oil or there is overheating of the cooling system.

#* CAUTION''':''' Your Wanderlodge is designed to op­erate at ambient temperatures up to 100°F with no problems. If temperatures greater than 100°F are encountered, the operator must closely observe engine water and oil temperature and trans­ mission oil temperature to avoid over­ heating conditions. If overheating con­ditions occur at ambient temperatures less than 100°F, the cooling system must be checked and problem cor­rected.

# '''Engine Oil Pressure''' -  Indicates the pressure of the oil, not the amount of oil in the engine reservoir. This gauge will normally read be­ tween 50 and 70 psi during cruising speeds; and drop to a minimum of 5 psi when the engine is idl­ing.

# '''DC Volts -''' Registers the actual voltage at the coach batteries. With the engine running, gauge should read14 volts (+ or - 0.5).

# '''Alternator Charging Amps''' - Shows total charging current in amperes. With the engine run­ ning, total alternator output is shown. When parked, with a source of 120 volt ac, (outside power or generator), the gauge will show total output of the battery chargers.

# '''Air Pressure Front/Rear -''' The Dual Air service Brake Pressure systems are engine operated and supply independent brake system air pressure for front and rear service brakes and the parking brake. During normal oper­ation, each air pressure gauge reading will build up to 100 psi to 120 psi shortly after the engine is started. Note that, as a safety feature, the parking brake cannot be released until air pressure read­ings are at least 65 psi.

# '''Fuel Level -''' Indicates the amount of diesel fuel remaining in the 300 gallon fuel tank. Note that the 12.5 kw generator also gets its fuel supply from the 300 gallon tank. This gauge reads only when the ignition switch is in ''ON or ACCES­SORY'' position. As a precaution against generator operation draining the fuel supply, the generator fuel pickup is shorter than the engine pickup. Sep­arate fuel filters are provided for each fuel line.

# '''Low Air Warning Indicator''' - This light is associated with a buzzer. These warn the driver that there is an insufficient supply of air (65 psi or less) to properly operate the coach. If the air pressure is low, when the ignition key is turned on, the light and buzzer will come on immediately. Both warnings will continue until the air pressure is built back up, or the ignition key is turned off.

# '''Burglar Alarm -'''  <br />Switch - There are two

#'''Burglar Alarm Switch -'''  There are two switches that turn the Burglar Alarm on and off. The switch on the dash is used when you are inside the coach. The weather proof key switch, outside the coach next to the entrance door , is used when you are going to be leaving your coach for awhile. Note that both switches operate independently of one another. If the Burglar Alarm is turned on at the dash, then it must be turned off at the dash. The outside switch works on the same principle.

switches that turn the Burglar Alarm on and off.

The switch on the dash is used when you are inside

the coach. The weather proof key switch, outside

the coach next to the entrance door , is used

when you are going to be leaving your coach for

 

awhile.

Note that both switches operate independently

of one another. If the Burglar Alarm is turned on at

 

the dash, then it must be turned off at the dash. The

outside switch works on the same principle.
