Systems Indicator Monitor / Hour Meter
LCD
When the ignition key is rotated out of the STOP position but not
into the START position, the systems 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.
