Systems Indicator Monitor / Hour Meter
LCD
Located in the center of the tractor’s console, the
systems indicator monitor records, and displays on its
LCD, hours of tractor operation whenever the ignition
key is rotated out of the STOP position.
The Indicator Monitor will also remind the operator of
maintenance intervals for changing the engine oil. The
LCD will alternately flash the recorded hours, “CHG”
and “OIL” for five minutes, after every 50 hours of
recorded operation elapse. The maintenance interval
lasts for two hours (from 50-52, 100-102, 150-152,
etc.). The LCD will also flash as described above for
five minutes every time the tractor’s engine has been
started during this maintenance interval. Before the
interval expires, change the crankcase oil level as
instructed in this Operator’s Manual.

Oil
It is normal for the Oil light to illuminate while the engine
is cranking during start-up, but if it illuminate’s during
operation, while the engine is running, stop the
tractor immediately and check the crankcase oil level
as instructed in this Owner’s Manual.
Battery
It is normal for the Battery light to illuminate while the
engine is cranking during start-up, but if it illuminate’s
during operation, while the engine is running, the

the MAINTENANCE section of this manual for the proper
battery charging procedure or have the charging
system checked by your Cub Cadet dealer.
