Park Brake/Cruise Control Lever
Located in the center of the tractor’s dash panel below the steering 
wheel, the park brake/cruise control lever is used to engage the 
parking brake and the cruise control. Refer to the Operation section 
of this manual for detailed instructions regarding the parking brake.
NOTE: The parking brake must be set if the operator 
leaves the seat with the engine running or the engine will 
automatically shut off.
NOTE: Cruise control can NOT be engaged at the tractor’s 
fastest ground speed.
WARNING! Never leave a running machine 
unattended. Always disengage the PTO, set the 
parking brake, stop the engine and remove the key 
to prevent unintended starting.
Hour Meter
LCD Service Minder & Hour Meter (If so equipped)
When the ignition key is rotated 
out of the STOP position but 
not into the START position, the 
LCD Service Minder and Hour 
Meter will briefly display the 
battery voltage, followed by the 
tractor’s accumulated hours.
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 LCD Service Minder will remind the operator of  maintenance 
intervals for changing the engine oil, air filter service, low engine 
oil and low battery warnings.
Change Oil
 The LCD will display the letters “CHG”, followed by the letters 
“OIL”, followed by the letters “SOON”, then finally followed by the 
meter’s accumulated time.  “CHG/OIL/SOON/TIME” will alternate 
on the display for 7 minutes after the meter reaches 50 hours. 
This oil service minder interval will occur every 50 hours. Before 
the interval expires, change the engine oil as instructed in the 
Maintenance section of the Engine Operator’s Manual
Low Oil (If so equipped)
The letters “LO” followed by the letters “OIL”, then followed by 
the meter’s accumulated time 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
At startup, the battery voltage is briefly displayed then changes 
to accumulated hours. The letters “LO” will display followed by 
the letters “BATT” and then followed by the meter’s accumulated 
time. “LO/BATT/TIME” is displayed on the LCD when the voltage 
drops below 11.5 volts. 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 
Service section of this manual or have the charging system 
checked by your local service dealer.
Air Filter Service
The letters “CLN” will display, followed by the letters “AIR”, 
followed by “FILT”, then followed by the meter’s accumulated 
time. “CLN/AIR/FILT/TIME” will alternate on the display for 7 
minutes after the meter reaches 50 hours. This air filter service 
minder time interval will be every 50 hours. On intervals that are 
common with oil service, the oil message will be displayed first 
followed by the air filter message.
