5.Hour/Voltage display

Hours are recorded when the key is on and the engine is running (battery voltage is 12.8V or higher) or when the key is on and the operator is in the seat.

The hour meter is recording when the decimal point is flashing in Hour/Voltage display.

Hours are displayed when the key is off and when the machine is running.

Note: If the ignition key is turned to the “ON” position for a few seconds before cranking the engine, the battery voltage will display in the area where the hours are normally displayed.

Note: The LCD indicators appear when each control meets the “safe to start” mode (e.g. the indicator turns on when the operator is in the seat.)

The fuel shut-off valve is used to shut off the fuel when the machine will not be used for a few days, during transport to and from the jobsite, and when parked inside a building.

Align valve handle with the fuel line to open. Rotate 90° to close.
