Operating Instructions

Light Switch (For Optional Lights)

Operates headlights (when installed).

Hourmeter

The hourmeter displays operating time accumulated while the ignition switch is in the ON position.

The hourmeter provides maintenance reminders after certain hours of operation. The hourmeter screen will start flashing the reminder one hour prior to the recommended interval and will continue until one hour after the recommended interval (two hours). The hourmeter does not have a manual reset function.

*These intervals reflect the actual time that the reminder will flash (one hour prior to and one hour after the recommended interval).

**This reminder is only used one time.

***In normal operating conditions, oil changes in 100-hour intervals are acceptable. Walker and the engine manufacturers recommend engine oil changes every 50 hours in extremely dirty or dusty conditions or for units with less than 100 hours annual use.

NOTE: The blinking hour glass on the display means that the meter is operating properly.

Circuit Breakers

Two manual reset circuit breakers are located on the instrument panel. Each has a button that pops out if the circuit breaker trips. The 10 amp circuit breaker protects the circuits to the headlights, fuel valve so- lenoid, safety switch relays and time delay module, and GHS. The 7 amp circuit breaker protects the instrument panel circuits to the meters, warning lights, and warning horn.

Warning Horn

The warning horn sounds to alert the operator that an unsafe engine condition is being indicated - when engine coolant temperature is too high or engine oil pressure is too low. If the horn sounds, check the indicator lights and water temperature gauge and correct the problem before further operation.

STARTING THE ENGINE

CAUTION

Before operating the mower, read and understand all Safety Instructions and Operating Instructions.

WARNING

NEVER run the engine in an enclosed or poorly ventilated area. Engine exhaust contains carbon monoxide, an odorless and deadly gas.
