TRUCK SERVICE MANUAL
TM 5-4210-230-14&P-1
INSTRUMENTS
DESCRIPTION SYSTEM
Instruments  used  on  S-Series  trucks  include  voltmeter,
fuel   gauge,   oil   pressure   gauge,   water   temperature   gauge,
speedometer,  tachometer  and  air  or  vacuum  gauges,  plus  oil,
water, brake and power divider lock warning lights.
All of the aforementioned instruments are located on the
instrument  panel  in  a  demountable  instrument  cluster  (Fig.    1)
directly  in  front  of  the  driver.    Gauges  and  panel  lights  of  the
cluster   are   connected   to   the   vehicle   electrical   system   by   a
flexible printed circuit.  Optional gauges for such other items as
engine   oil   temperature,   transmission   oil   temperature,   hour
meter,  etc.    are  located  to  the  right  of  heater  controls  in  a
separate panel.  Optional gauges are wired independent of the
printed circuit.
INSTRUMENT CLUSTER
The   instrument   cluster   is   a   reliable,   quick   disconnect
package for the most commonly used
instruments.  Should the need arise, cluster body can be quickly
detached from the instrument panel for quick access to any of
its  components.    Either  the  complete  cluster  assembly  or  its
components can be replaced.
CAUTION
Always   disconnect   battery   negative   (ground)
cable  before  servicing  instrument  cluster  or  its
components.
Remove Complete Cluster

2.
Tilt  or  lift  out  cluster  assembly  from  instrument  panel
(Fig.  2).
