Systems Indicator Monitor / Hour Meter
(Electric Start Models Only)
42. 0
LCD
When the ignition key is rotated out of the STOP position but not
into the START position, the systems indicator monitor displays
the battery’s output, in volts, on its LCD for approximately five
seconds, after which it displays an hour glass and the hours
of mower operation. Once the engine is started, the monitor
continually displays an hour glass and the hours of mower
operation on its LCD.
NOTE: Hours of mower operation are recorded any time the
ignition key is rotated out of the STOP position, regardless of
whether the engine is started.
The Indicator Monitor will also remind the operator of
maintenance intervals for changing the engine oil. The LCD will
alternately flash the recorded hours, “CHG” and “OIL” for five
minutes, after every 50 hours of recorded operation elapse. The
maintenance interval lasts for two hours (from 50-52, 100-102,
150-152, etc.). The LCD will also flash as described above for five
minutes every time the mower’s engine has been started during
this maintenance interval. Before the interval expires, change
the engine oil as instructed in the Maintenance section of this
Operator’s Manual.
Battery (Electric Start Models Only)
It is normal for the Battery light to illuminate while the engine is
cranking during start-up, but if it illuminates during operation,
while the engine is running, 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 Service
section of this manual or have the charging system checked by
your Cub Cadet dealer.
