When the ignition key is inserted and depressed for less than 1.5 seconds, the LCD
Service Minder & Hour Meter will briefly display the battery voltage, followed by the
tractor's accumulated hours.
Note: Hours of tractor operation are recorded only when the engine is running.
The LCD Service Minder will remind the operator of maintenance intervals for
changing the engine oil, air filter service, low engine oil and low and high battery
warnings.

position.
The letters "LO" followed by the letters "OIL", then followed by the letters
"PRESSURE" will indicate the tractor is low on oil. When an engine is not running
and immediately after the engine is started the oil pressure may be low. This can
trigger the "LO" "OIL" text. This is normal. If the low oil indication persists stop
the tractor immediately and check the engine oil level as instructed in the Engine
Operator's Manual.
Note: The "LOW OIL" function only works if the engine is equipped with an oil
pressure switch.
Low Battery/High Battery

hours. If during use the voltage drops below 11.0 volts the display will show the
letters "LO" followed by the letters "BATT". When this occurs, the battery is in need
of a charge or the engine's charging system is not generating sufficient amperage.
Charge the battery as instructed in the Product Care section of this manual or have
the charging system checked by your local service dealer.
If during use the battery voltage exceeds 16 volts the LCD display will show the
letters "HI" followed by the letters "BATT".When this occurs, have the charging
system checked by your local service dealer.
