1. Fuel Gauge

The fuel gauge monitors 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 activate the fuel gauge.

2. Tachometer

The tachometer shows the engine speed in revolu- tions per minute (RPM). Optimal engine operating speed is approximately 3400-3600 RPM. When operating PTO driven attachments the RPM indica- tor needle must be within the green range on the tachometer dial.

3. Battery Indicator Light

Illuminates to indicate the battery voltage has dropped below 11.5 (+0.5/-1.0) DC volts. The bat- tery voltage is also displayed on the hour meter. If this indicator and display come on during opera- tion, check the battery and charging system for possible causes and/or contact your Cub Cadet dealer.

NOTE: The light illuminates and the battery voltage is displayed on the hour meter briefly when the ignition switch is turned to the "ON" position.

4. Oil Pressure Indicator

This warning lamp indicates low engine oil pressure. If this indicator illuminates, stop the tractor immediately and check the engine oil level. If the oil level is within the operating range, but the light remains on, contact your Cub Cadet dealer. NOTE: The oil pressure indicator will illuminate when the key switch is turned to the on position, but should turn off when the engine is started.

5. PTO Engaged Indicator

should not be illuminated. If necessary, move the PTO switch to the "DISENGAGED" position.

6. Brake Engaged Indicator

This indicator illuminates whenever the brake pedal is fully depressed or the parking brake is engaged and the key switch is turned to the "ON" position. Check this indicator if the engine will not crank when the key switch is turned to the "START" position—the indicator should be illuminated. If necessary, fully depress the brake pedal.

7. Hour Meter/Battery Display

The hour meter records the hours and tenths of an hour (right most digit) that the tractor has been operated.

The hour meter is activated when the key switch is turned to the “ON” switch position. Because the key switch may be accidentally left in the "ON" position, a record of the actual hours of operation should be kept to assure maintenance procedures are completed according to the schedule in this manual.

NOTE: When the key switch is turned to the "ON" position, battery voltage is briefly displayed and then changes to the accumulated hours.

8. Water Temperature Indicator Light

Illumination of this warning lamp indicates the engine coolant temperature has risen above the prescribed operating range. If the light comes on while operating 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 radiator screen).

This indicator illuminates whenever the PTO switch is depressed to the "ENGAGED" position while the key switch is turned to the "ON" position. Check this indicator if the engine will not crank with the key switch in the "START" position—the indicator

9. 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.
