Hour Meter

LCD Service Minder & Hour Meter (If equipped)

The LCD service minder will remind the operator of

maintenance intervals for changing the engine oil, air

filter service, low engine and low battery warnings.

When the key is rotated out of the STOP position but

is not in the START position, the LCD service minder

& hour meter will briefly display the battery voltage,

followed by the tractor’s accumulated hours.

Note: When the ignition key is out of the STOP position

the hourglass symbol is illuminated/blinks to indicate

it is recording the hours of tractor operation, regardless of whether the engine has

been started.

Change Oil

The LCD screen will alternate the letters “CHG”, followed by “OIL”, followed by

“SOON”, followed by the meter’s accumulated time. “CHG/OIL/SOON/TIME” will

alternate on the display for 7 minutes after the meter reaches 50 hours. This oil

service minder interval will occur every 50 hours. Before the interval expires, change

the engine oil as instructed in the Engine Operator’s Manual

Low Oil

Note: The low oil pressure function only works if the engine is equipped with an oil

pressure switch.

The LCD screen will alternate the letters “LO” followed by “OIL”, followed by the

meter’s accumulated time, which indicates the engine has low oil pressure. This is

common when starting an engine. The indicator will remain active until the engine

sufficiently builds pressure after starting. If it remains on with the engine at full

speed and after a few minutes of operation, stop the tractor immediately and check

the engine oil level and add as instructed in the Engine Operator’s Manual. If the oil

level is correct and the indicator persists, contact an authorized service dealer.

Low Battery

At startup, the battery voltage will briefly display, then changes to accumulated

hours. The letters “LO” followed by the letters “BATT” will display, followed by

the meter’s accumulated time. “LO/BATT/TIME” is displayed on the LCD when the

voltage drops below 11.5 volts. When this occurs, the battery is in need of a charge

or the engine’s charging system is not generating sufficient amperage. Charge the

battery as instructed in the Product Care section of this manual or have the charging

system checked by your local service dealer.

Air Filter Service

The LCD screen will display the letters “CLN” followed by the letters “AIR”, followed by

“FILT”, followed by the meter’s accumulated time. “CLN/AIR/FILT/TIME” will alternate

on the display for 7 minutes after the meter reaches 25 hours. This air filter service

minder time interval will be every 25 hours. On intervals that are common with oil

service, the oil message will be displayed first followed by the air filter message.

Fuel Tank Cap

Turn the fuel cap at least two clicks counter clockwise and pull upward to remove. The

fuel cap is tethered to the fuel tank to prevent its loss. Do not attempt to remove the

cap from the fuel tank. Fill tank to ½” (12.7 mm)below the bottom of the filler neck,

allowing some space in the tank for fuel expansion. Do not overfill the tank. The fuel

tank holds approximately 3 gallons (11.35L) of gasoline.
