intervals for changing the engine oil, air filter service, low engine
oil and low or high battery warnings.

3. Electronic Governor Control (If equipped) - When
set in a given position, a uniform engine speed will be
maintained. The electronic governor control has various
inputs for maintaining engine speed. Use CUT setting
for optimal cutting performance in normal cutting
conditions. Use POWER CUT setting for optimal cutting
performance in heavy cutting conditions.
NOTE: If the tractor is equipped with an Electronic Governor
Control, the tractor can be started at any speed setting along
the dial and will automatically adjust to the desired engine
speed setting.
