The headlight switch is located on the left sideof the
instrumentpanel.Pull the switch out to turnthelightson.
Push the switch in to turn the lights off.
1) Check Engine Light
When the Check Engine Light is on while the engine is
running, then the ECU has detected conditions that
indicate the engine is not operating correctly.
Ifthe CheckEngine Lightturnson thenthevehicle should
beimmediatelyremoved from service to beinspectedby
a qualified technician.
The Check Engine Light should be on when the ignition
switch is ON but the engine has not yet been started. If

10) Oil Pressure
Thisgauge indicates the engine oil
pressure,notthe oillevel. However,
if your engine’s oil level is low, it
could affect the oil pressure.
Typical normal oil pressure range
when engine is hot is 6 to 18 PSI.
With the engine running, the pointer should move into
the NORMAL range. If the pointer drops below the
NORMAL range while the engine is running, you have
lostoilpressureandcontinuedoperationwillcausesevere
engine damage. If the pointer exceeds the NORMAL
range then there may be obstructions in the engine
lubrication system and continued operation will cause
severe engine damage.
If the oil pressure is low, pull to the side of the road and
immediately shut the engine off. Check and add oil as
needed and restart the engine. If the oil pressure is still
low, turn the engine off and have the vehicle towed to a
repairfacility.
If the oil pressure is high, pull to the side of the road and
immediately shut the engine off and have the vehicle
towed to your authorized Tiger Tractor repair facility.
8) Coolant Temperature
This gauge indicates the
temperatureoftheengine coolant,
not the coolant level. If the coolant
is not at its proper level or mixture,
the gauge indication will not be
accurate.
The pointer moves from the left to the right side of the
gauge as your engine coolant warms up.
Oncethe engineiswarmed up,the typicalnormalcoolant
temperature range is 180 to 210 degrees (F).
Under normal driving conditions, the pointer should stay
in the NORMAL range. It is acceptable for the pointer to
fluctuate within the NORMAL band under normal driving
conditions,andunder certain driving conditions such as,
heavy stop and go traffic, driving up hills in hot weather,
or towing hevy loads for the pointer to indicate at the top
of the NORMAL band.
If, under any circumstances, the pointer moves above
the NORMAL range, the engine is overheating and
continued operation may cause engine damage.
• Theengine ECU will reducepowerif the temperature
exceeds 220 degrees.
• The engine ECU will shut the engine down if the
temperature exceeds 230 degrees.
If your engine coolant overheats:
1. Pull off the road as soon as safely possible.
2. Turn off the engine.
3.Lettheenginecool.DO NOT REMOVE COOLANT
SYSTEM FILL CAP UNTIL THE ENGINE IS
COOL.
4. Check the coolant level following the instructions
on checking and adding coolant to your engine.
• If the coolant continues to overheat, have the
coolant system serviced.
9) Hour Meter
Thehour meterrecords thenumber
of hours the vehicle has been in
operation.
11) Ignition Switch
Note: Rotary switch shown. Also
available as a keyed switch.
The ignition switch has 3-positions:
OFF, RUN, START.
Rotatingtheswitch clockwisetothe first
position turns the ignition system ON.
Rotating the switch to the START position engages the
engine starter motor. This is a momentary position and
the switch will return the START position when it is
released. Once the switch has been released from the
START position, it must be turned to OFF before it can
be turned back to the START position.
