CONTROL GP-GOVERNOR 7E9912 - Caterpillar

Engine Oil Pressure - Typical oil pressure for an engine at rated speed with SAE 10W30 or with SAE 15W40 is 240 kPa (35 psi) to 480 kPa (70 psi). A lower oil pressure is normal at low idle. If the load is stable and the gauge reading changes, perform the following procedure:
Remove the load.
Reduce engine speed to low idle.
Check the oil level. Maintain the oil level at the proper amount.If the gauge continues to fluctuate, consult your Caterpillar dealer.
Engine Oil Temperature - This gauge indicates the engine oil temperature. An oil temperature that is higher than normal indicates a heat problem in the lubrication system and/or the cooling system. This problem can damage the cylinder heads, the cylinder liners, the pistons, and the crankshaft bearings.
Jacket Water Coolant Temperature - Typical temperature range is 77 °C (171 °F) to 98 °C (208 °F). The maximum allowable temperature with the pressurized cooling system is 99 °C (210 °F). Higher temperatures may occur under certain conditions. The water temperature reading may vary according to load. The reading should never exceed the boiling point for the pressurized system that is being used. If the engine is operating above the normal range or steam becomes apparent, perform the following procedure:
Reduce the load and the engine rpm.
Inspect the cooling system for leaks.
Determine if the engine must be shut down immediately or if the engine can be cooled by reducing the load.
Pressurized System: Hot coolant can cause serious burns. To open the cooling system filler cap, stop the engine and wait until the cooling system components are cool. Loosen the cooling system pressure cap slowly in order to relieve the pressure.
Check the coolant level.
Tachometer - This gauge indicates engine speed. When the throttle control lever is moved to the full throttle position without load, the engine is running at high idle. The engine is running at the full load rpm when the throttle control lever is at the full throttle position with maximum rated load. Note: The default high idle rpm and the full load rpm are stamped on the Information Plate.
Ammeter - This gauge indicates the amount of charge or of discharge in the battery charging circuit. Operation of the indicator should be to the right side of "0"(zero).
Service Hour Meter - This gauge indicates the total number of clock hours of engine operation. Hours of operation are logged in the ECM. A service tool is needed to retrieve the hours from the ECM. A Service Hour Meter may be installed on the engine.
Fuel Pressure - This gauge indicates fuel pressure to the electronic unit injectors from the fuel filter. The indicator should indicate the "NORMAL" range. A decrease in fuel pressure usually indicates a plugged fuel filter.
Fuel Level - This gauge indicates the level of fuel in the fuel tank. The fuel level gauge registers the fuel level only when the ignition switch is in the ON position.
