This gauge indicates level of fuel in the fuel tank, while the starter key switch is in the ON position.

(3) Hour Meter

This meter indicates the total accumulated operating hours. This indication is based on the assumption that the engine runs at a speed of 3300 rpm.

(4) Alternator / Battery Charging Light

This light remains lit when the starter key switch is in the ON position and the engine is OFF.

IMPORTANT:

●If this light illuminates while the engine is running, the power generated by the alternator is too low. Fully pull the throttle control lever backward and increase the engine speed. If the light still remains lit, immediately stop the engine and contact your local Cub Cadet Yanmar dealer for technical assistance.

(5) Engine Oil Pressure Warning Light

This light remains lit when the starter key switch is in the ON position and the engine is OFF.
