of the tractor, along the running board. Press
the drive pedal forward to cause the tractor

Systems Indicator Monitor/Hour Meter LCD
When the ignition key is
rotated out of the STOP
position but not into
the START position, the
system’s indicator monitor
displays the battery’s
output, in volts, on its
LCD for approximately
five seconds, after which
it displays an hour glass
and the hours of tractor
operation. Once the
tractor is started, the
monitor continually displays an hour glass and the hours of
tractor operation on its LCD.
NOTE: Hours of tractor operation are recorded any time the
ignition key is rotated out of the STOP position, regardless of
whether the engine is started.
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 engine oil as instructed in the Maintenance section of this
Operator’s Manual.

amperage. Charge the battery as instructed in the Service
section of this manual or have the charging system checked by
your authorized service dealer.
