If the electrical system is working properly, the button will remain pressed. If the button does not remain pressed or if the circuit breaker trips soon after being reset, check the appropriate electrical circuit. Repair the electrical circuit, if necessary.
Diagnostic Lamp (3) - The diagnostic lamp is used to indicate the existence of a fault by flashing a fault code. For a more detailed discussion of the diagnostic lamp, please see this Operation and Maintenance Manual, "Diagnostic Lamp" topic.
Start Switch (4) - The start switch has three positions: OFF, RUN and START. When the start switch is turned clockwise to the RUN position, the lamps will flash for five seconds during the system test. The lamps will then shut off. In the RUN position, the ECM and electronic systems are powered up.
Idle Speed Switch (5) - When the switch is in the up position, the engine speed increases to HIGH IDLE. When the switch is in the down position, the engine speed decreases to LOW IDLE.
Service Meter (6) - This display indicates the total operating hours of the engine. Use the display in order to determine the service hour maintenance intervals. Hours of operation are logged in the ECM. A service tool is needed to retrieve the hours from the ECM.

The engine is running at the full load rpm when the throttle control lever is at the full throttle position with maximum rated load.
Voltmeter (9) - This gauge indicates the voltage of the electrical system. The needle in the red range indicates low voltage or high voltage.
