HourHour Meter Features

The hour meter records the hours that the tractor has been operated in the digital display (tenths of an hour-rightmost digit).

NOTE: The hour meter is activated whenever the igni- tion switch is turned to the "ON" position. Keep a record of the actual hours of operation to assure all maintenance procedures are completed according to the instructions in this manual and the engine manual.

•When key is turned to the "ON" position, the battery indicator light briefly illuminates and the battery voltage is briefly displayed. The display then changes to the accumulated hours.

•The Indicator Monitor will also remind the operator of maintenance intervals for changing the engine oil. The LCD will alternately flash, “CHG” ; “OIL” and the recorded hours for five minutes after every 50 hours of recorded operation. The maintenance interval lasts for two hours (from 50-52, 100-102, 150-152, etc.). The LCD will flash as described for five minutes every time the tractor’s engine is started during this maintenance interval. Follow the oil change intervals provided in the engine manual.
