VEHICLE CONTROLS
INSTRUMENT PANEL
1) 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.
3) Oil Pressure
This gauge indicates the
engine oil pressure, not the oil
level.However,if yourengine’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.

6) Battery Volt Meter
This gauge shows you the
batteryvoltagewhenthe ignition
key is in the ON position.
Typical battery voltage when
engine is running should be
between 13 and 15.5 volts. The
battery voltage could exceed
14.5voltsifoperated during cold
weatherordrop below 13 voltsif
there is a heavy demand due to accessories being used
or a moderate demand and the engine is at idle.
If the voltage remains below 13 volts when the engine is
runningand there is a lightloador,if the voltageexceeds
15 volts then the battery charging system should be
inspected.
4) 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
the light does not come on then the vehicle should be
immediately removed from service to be inspected by a
qualifiedtechnician.
5) Coolant Temperature
This gauge indicates the
temperature of the engine
coolant, not the coolant level.
Ifthe coolantisnot atitsproper
level or mixture, the gauge
indication will not be accurate.
Thepointer movesfrom theleft
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.
7) Fuel Gauge
The fuel gauge displays
approximately how much fuel
isin thefueltankonly whenthe
ignition switch is ON. Do not
refuel any vehicle while the
engine is running.
The fuel gauge indicator may
vary slightly when the vehicle
is in motion. The most accurate reading is obtained with
the vehicle on level ground.
With ignition switch OFF, the fuel gauge indicator may
drift from the ignition switch ON position.
The fuel gauge is not available on LPG fuel systems.

Draw Bar Pull (DBP), definition
DBP is a measure of pulling force required to move a
load. The load may be a trailing load or a pushed load. It
is normally expressed in pounds or Newtons.
The DBP of a tow tractor is the horizontal force exerted
on a load at its coupler while towing or pushing a load.
To measure the DBP, a scale would be connected in line
with the tractor coupler and the load. The scale will
directly read the DBP as the tractor tows the load.
Tow tractor DBP specifications, definition:
Normal DBP: Highest DBP that can be sustained for a
given duty cycle.
Ultimate DBP:Alsoreferred to aMaximum DBP.Highest
DBP achieved while travailing at a minimum speed of
approximately 0.5 mph (0.8 kph)for a minimum of 30
seconds. This specification is used in calculations for
getting a load moving.
Notes:
Tow tractor DBP specifications are based on:
•Road surface consisting of level dry clean asphalt,
brushed concrete or equivalent.
•Maximum battery weight installed per tow tractor
battery specification.
Towing a load up any grade will significantly affect the
DBP required.
Mostpavedroads andparkinglotshavea drainagegrade
to allow water to run off. When operating a tow tractor at
or near its maximum capacity, this drainage grade will
greatly affect DBP required to pull the load and may
exceed the tractor specifications.
Loading and Unloading
•Do not carry more than the maximum number of
passengers allowed for this vehicle.
•Do not exceed the cargo load capacity.
•Do not load cargo that can fall off.
•Be careful when handling cargo that is longer, wider,
orhigher than this vehicle, besureto properly secure
all loads.
Refueling
The fuel system may be under pressure. If the
fuel cap or fuel line is venting vapor or if you
hear a hissing sound while disengaging the fuel
cap or fuel line, wait until it stops before
completely removing the cap or line. Otherwise,
fuel may spray out and injure you or others.
Refertotheengineoperationmanualfordetailsregarding
approved fuel types.
The following guidelines should be followed regardless
of engine fuel type.
•Turn the engine off before refueling.
•No smoking or open flames.
•Only refuel in an area with adequate ventalation.
•If using LPG, turn LPG tank valve off before
disconnecting the fuel line.
