(( . , (Fig. 20) - Ammeter shows charge rate of
the battery by the alternator. When engine is running,
there usually is a slight charge, unless engine is idling
slowly. Needle points to 0 when battery is fully charged.
By contrast, alternator is not charging the battery when
needle points to (Ć) negative side of ammeter. If this
happens, repair the charging system to prevent
discharge of the battery.

(Fig. 20) - The temperature switch/gauge registers
the temperature of the coolant in the cooling system. If
temperature of coolant gets too high the engine will

ignition key to OFF. Automatic shut-off of the engine
usually results from debris on front of screen or
radiator, which reduces air flow. After cleaning outside
of screen and radiator or repairing some other
damage, press the reset button and start the engine.
