Engine Low Oil Warning Horn
The engine low oil warning horn gives an audible
signal that the engine oil quantity in the crankcase is
below the safe operating range. The signal will also
occur when operating the machine on steep slopes
(greater than 25 degrees) and the angle of operation
may cause engine damage from insucient lubrica-
tion. If the horn is sounding when operating on at
ground, stop the machine and check/adjust the en-
gine oil level as noted in LUBRICATION for Check-
ing Engine Crankcase Oil Level in Maintenance In-
structions. If the horn is sounding when operating on
a slope, stop the machine and check/adjust the en-
gine oil level (on a level surface), and then reduce
the angle of operation if the horn continues to sound
on the slope.
IMPORTANT: Continued operation of the engine
with the engine low oil warning horn sounding MAY
cause engine damage if not corrected as soon as
possible.

Hourmeter
The hourmeter, which is located on the right front of
the body, displays operating time accumulated
while the PTO (blade drive) clutch is engaged.
The hourmeter provides maintenance reminders af-
ter certain hours of operation. The hourmeter screen
will start ashing the reminder one hour prior to the
recommended interval and will continue until one
hour after the recommended interval (two hours).
The hourmeter does not have a manual reset
function.

* These intervals reect the actual time that the
reminder will ash (one hour prior to and one

** This reminder is only used one time.
*** In normal operating conditions, oil changes in
100-hour intervals are acceptable. Walker and
the engine manufacturers recommend engine
oil changes every 50 hours in extremely dirty or
dusty conditions or for units with less than 100
hours annual use.
NOTE: The blinking hour glass on the display
means that the meter is operating properly.
