The Electronic Monitoring System (EMS) is located on the front dash in the operator compartment. The EMS consists of an action alarm, action light (1), and monitoring panel (2). The monitoring panel includes an individual alert indicator for each machine system that is listed on the monitoring panel.

The EMS is designed to alert the operator to an immediate problem with any of the machine systems that are monitored. The EMS is also designed to alert the operator to an impending problem with any of the machine systems that are monitored. The action light and the individual alert indicators will light when a problem occurs.

EMS Functional Test

To ensure the proper operation of the EMS, check the system daily.

The battery disconnect switch must be in the ON position in order to supply electrical power to the machine.

Panel Test Switch (4) - While the engine is not running, push up on the panel test switch in order to test the EMS. All alert indicators should come on and the action light should blink until panel test switch (1) is released. The panel test switch will return to the OFF position when the panel test switch is released.

If the alert indicators or action light (1) do not come on, the electrical system must be checked. Perform all necessary repairs before you start the engine.

If all of the alert indicators and action light (1) come on, start the engine. Repeat the panel test with the engine running. Move panel test switch (4) to the ON position. All alert indicators and action light (1) should come on again. The action alarm should also sound.

If any of the alert indicators or the action light do not come on or action alarm (1) does not sound, stop the engine. Check the electrical system and the machine system. Perform all necessary repairs before you start the engine.

Warning Categories

The Electronic Monitoring System (EMS) provides three warning categories. The first warning category requires only operator awareness. The second warning category requires an operator response. The third warning category requires immediate shutdown of the machine systems.

Warning Category 1

In this category, only the alert indicator comes on. This category alerts the operator that the machine system needs attention. Failure of these systems will not endanger the operator. Failure of these systems will not cause serious damage to the machine components.
