V. OPERATING INFORMATION DEPTH COMMAND

The Hagie 204 comes available with optional adjustable DEPTH COMMAND (f ig. 5.41). This allows the operator to adjust the depth of the LS system from the cab. The switches are located to the right of the steering column (fig. 5.42).

To lower the cutting or pulling height, select the appropriate switch and push down. This will extend the actuator (fig. 5.41, item 1), raising the LS system, which in turn lowe rs the cutting or pulling height. To raise the cutting height, lower the actuator by pushing the appropriate switch up.

NOTE:

DO NOT operate more than two actuators at one single time. This may blow the fuse located on the switch panel (fig. 5.42). For more information on the DEPTH COMMAND fuse, see page 103.

V. OPERATING INFORMATION

Gauge Panel

Speedometer/Tachometer - (fig. 5.44, item 1)

Unit will display either engine RPM or speed of travel depending on operator’s selection. See pages 66-67 for more information on the speedometer/tachometer.

Water Temperature - (fig. 5.44, item 2) The water temperature gauge monitors the engine cooling system. A “RED” indicator light alerts the operator of unsafe operating temperatures.

Engine Oil Pressure - (fig. 5.44, item 3) The oil pressure gauge monitors pressure of the engine lubricating system. A “RED” indicator light alerts the operator of low level operation.

Fuel Gauge - (fig. 5.44, item 4) The fuel gauge measures the amount of fuel in either fuel tank, depending on the tank selected with the fuel switch. A “YELLOW” indicator light alerts operator of low level operation.

Volt Meter - (fig. 5.44, item 5) The volt meter measures voltage from the alternator on the diesel engine. A “RED” indicator light will alert the operator if the system is operating either too low or too high.

Hour Meter - (fig. 5.44, item 6) The hour meter progressively records elapsed time of detasseler operation. It is useful for determining service intervals.

Filter Minder (diesel only) – (fig. 5.44, item 7) See page 88 for information regarding the air filter monitoring system.

NOTE:

Immediately reduce engine speed and shut off ignition if any of the above “RED” indicator lights illuminate. Determine cause and correct before continuing operation.
