NOTE: The standard main station (wheel house) instrument panel is shown. An optional fly-bridge panel is also available that includes the same gauges as the standard panel, but has a stop button in place of the key start switch.

NOTE: On generator-set engines, the gauges are supplied by the gen-set manufacturer. Minimum gauges required are: hour meter, oil pressure gauge and coolant temperature gauge as well as safety shutdown devices.

IMPORTANT: Whenever an electronic gauge or sensor does not register a correct reading, replace it with a new one. DO NOT attempt to repair it. Wiring diagrams are located in the TROUBLESHOOTING Section later in this manual.

Following is a brief description of the available optional electronic controls and gauges found on John Deere provided instrument panels. Refer to manufacturer’s literature for information on controls not provided by Deere.

A—Engine Oil Pressure Gauge

The oil pressure gauge (A) indicates engine oil pressure. An audible alarm warns the operator if engine oil pressure falls below a safe operating pressure.

B—Engine Coolant Temperature Gauge

The engine coolant temperature gauge (B) indicates engine coolant temperature. An audible alarm warns the operator if coolant temperature rises above the preset safe operating temperature.

C—Voltmeter

The voltmeter (C) indicates system battery voltage. The amber “Warning” light (P) illuminates when battery voltage is too low for proper operation of the fuel injection system.

D—Percent Load Gauge

If equipped, the percent load gauge shows percent of available engine power being used by the vessel.

E—Audible Alarm

The audible alarm (E) sounds whenever low oil pressure, high coolant temperature, or water-in-fuel conditions exist. This includes all signals that light up the amber “warning” indicator (intermittent alarm) or the red “stop engine” indicator (steady alarm).

NOTE: Audible alarm is mounted behind the panel on option B.

F—Audible Alarm Override Button (Option A only)

The audible alarm has an override button (F) that silences the audible alarm for approximately two minutes when pressed.

G—Tachometer

The tachometer (G) indicates engine speed in hundreds of revolutions per minute (rpm).

H—Dimmer Switch

The dimmer switch (H) allows the operator to dim or brighten the illumination of the instrument panel. The diagnostic gauge (K) also has a backlight adjustment function.

I—Start Button

If equipped, the start button (I), when pressed and held in, operates the starting motor to start the engine. The engine will only start with key switch (J) in the “ON” position.
