Hourmeter
The hourmeter, which is located on the right front of
the body, displays operating time accumulated
while the ignition switch is in the ON (RUN) position.
Some tractors are equipped with hourmeters that
provide maintenance reminders after certain hours
of operation. The hourmeter screen will start ash-
ing the reminder one hour prior to the recommended
interval and will continue until one hour after the rec-
ommended interval (two hours).
● 4-6 hours: Oil Change (Break-In)
● 24-26 hours: Lube
● 49-51 hours: Oil Change
The hourmeter reminders are set for the most fre-
quent service intervals. Follow the intervals outlined
in the MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE CHART for this
tractor.
The hourmeter does not have a manual reset
function.
NOTE: The blinking hour glass on the display
means that the meter is operating properly.

Oil Pressure Warning Horn
The oil pressure warning horn indicates that engine
oil pressure is below the safe operating level [below
3 to 5 PSI (21 to 34 kPa)]. This horn will come on
when the ignition is turned ON, but should go o
after the engine is started. If the horn fails to come
on when the ignition switch is turned ON, it could
indicate a faulty horn. If the horn comes on during
engine operation, stop the engine immediately and
correct the source of the problem before further en-
gine operation.
IMPORTANT: Continued operation of the engine
with oil pressure warning horn sounding MAY cause
severe engine damage (if a low oil pressure condi-
tion exists).
Ignition Switch
The ignition switch is located on the left front of the
body and is used to start and stop the engine. The
switch has three positions: “O” is the OFF position,
ON (RUN) is the position that the key returns to after
starting, and “S” is the START position. When start-
ing the engine, turn the key clockwise to the “S”
position. Do not hold the key in the “S” position
longer than 10 seconds. If the engine does not start,
return the key to the “O” position for at least 60 sec-
onds before making a restart attempt. Prolonged
cranking can damage the starter motor and shorten
battery life. Release the key when the engine starts,
and it will return to the ON (RUN) position. To stop
the engine, rotate the key counterclockwise to the
“O” position.
Light Switch (For Optional Lights)
Operates headlights (when installed).
Circuit Breakers
A manual reset 7 amp, circuit breaker is located be-
low the hourmeter. The button pops out if the circuit
breaker trips. This circuit breaker protects the cir-
cuits to the safety switch relays, time delay module,
and GHS. In addition, an auto reset 30 amp master
circuit breaker is located near the battery and a 10
amp fuse protects the ECU.
