Red Light on Steep Hills
« on: February 08, 2014, 12:54:47 »
Hi,

I'm getting the occasional flash of a red warning light when climbing steep hills.  It's only for a second or so...

Any ideas of possible reasons?

Many thanks,
Chris.

Not knowing which light it is makes a response problematic, but three possibilities come to mind:  1) Low brake fluid; 2) low fuel level; and 3) low RPMs decreasing generator output.

My money is on the brake fluid light ...
