1. Fuel Gauge

The fuel gauge monitors, at 20 second intervals, the fuel level in the fuel tank. The needle pointing to the right indicates a full tank. The ignition switch must be in the ON position to read the fuel gauge.

2. Tachometer

The tachometer shows the engine speed in revolu- tions per minute (RPM). Optimal engine operating speed is approximately 3500-3600 RPM. When operating PTO driven attachments the RPM indica- tor needle should be within the green range on the tachometer dial.

3. Battery Indicator Light

The bulb illuminates to indicate the battery is being discharged. If this warning lamp comes on during operation, check the charging system for possible causes and/or contact your Cub Cadet dealer.

4. Engine Oil Pressure Light

This warning lamp indicates low engine oil pressure. If the bulb comes on while the engine is running, stop the engine immediately and check for possible causes. NOTE: The bulb may illuminate when the ignition switch is in the ON position, but should turn off when the engine is started.

5. Engine Coolant Temperature Light

Illumination of this warning lamp indicates the engine coolant temperature has risen above the prescribed operating range. If the light comes on while operat- ing the tractor, eliminate all loads and try cooling the engine by running at mid throttle for a few minutes. Stop the engine and allow to cool; then check for possible causes (e.g. low coolant level, plugged radi- ator screen).

6. Parking Brake Indicator Light

The bulb illuminates when the ignition switch is in the ON position and the brake pedal is depressed. The light flashes if attempting to start the tractor with the brake not engaged.

7. PTO Indicator Light

Light comes on in a fixed mode whenever the PTO switch is in the ON position, with the following exceptions.

•The light will illuminate in a flashing mode if attempting to start the tractor with the PTO switch in the ON position.

•The light will change to the flashing mode when the PTO switch is on, but the reverse pedal has been engaged and the reverse override has NOT been engaged.

8. Hour Meter

The hour meter records the hours and tenths of an hour (right most digit) that the tractor has been oper- ated. The hourmeter is activated whenever the tractor engine is running. Keep a record of the hours of operation and maintenance performed to ensure all maintenance procedures are completed accord- ing to the schedule in this manual.

9. PTO Reverse Override Indicator

This warning lamp illuminates to indicate the PTO reverse override switch has been depressed and the PTO reverse override is engaged. Use extra caution when operating PTO driven attachments while traveling in the reverse direction.

10. Hazard Light Indicator

Arrows will flash in conjunction with the amber hazard lights when the hazard light switch is turned on.

11. Glow Plug Indicator Light

Illuminates when the ignition switch is turned to the ON position. The light remains lit for a preset time while the glow plugs heat the precombustion chambers of the diesel engine.

12. Cruise Control Indicator Light (Optional)

Bulb illuminates when the switch is depressed to engage the optional cruise control feature.
