Hour Meter / Maintenance Reminder

Measures the time of the PTO being engaged. The hour meter measures the number of hours the PTO has been engaged. The hour meter will flash an initial oil change indicator at 5 hours, and a lubrication reminder every 50 hours. These reminders display for approximately two hours and will automatically reset themselves.

Note: The hour meter will register the passage of time only when the PTO is engaged. The hour meter has a self contained power source so the total hours are always visible.

Fuel Tank Cap

To remove the cap, turn counterclockwise.

Fuel Level Gauge

Displays the fuel level in the tank.

Transmission Oil Fill

This unit is equipped with two transmission oil reservoirs. The transmission oil reservoirs are located beneath the operator’s seat and in front of the engine. Transmission oil is added through the transmission oil reservoirs. It also serves as extra holding capacity as the transmissions heat up and the oil expands. See CHECK TRANSMISSION OIL LEVEL for oil level check and fill procedures.
