OPERATION
Change Oil
The LCD screen will alternate the letters “CHG”, followed by “OIL”,
followed by “SOON”, 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 Engine Operator’s Manual.
Low Oil
NOTE: The low oil pressure function only works if the engine is
equipped with an oil pressure switch.
The LCD screen will alternate the letters “LO” followed by “OIL”,
followed by the meter’s accumulated time, which indicates
the engine has low oil pressure. This is common when starting
an engine. The indicator will remain active until the engine
sufficiently builds pressure after starting. If it remains on with
the engine at full speed and after a few minutes of operation,
stop the tractor immediately, check the engine oil level and
add as instructed in the Engine Operator’s Manual. If the oil
level is correct and the indicator persists, contact an authorized
service dealer.
Low Battery
At startup, the battery voltage will briefly display, then changes
to accumulated hours. The letters “LO” followed by the letters
“BATT” will display, 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
Charging the Battery section of this manual or have the charging
system checked by your local service dealer.
Air Filter Service
The LCD screen will display the letters “CLN” followed by
the letters “AIR”, followed by “FILT”, followed by the meter’s
accumulated time. “CLN/AIR/FILT/TIME” will alternate on the
display for 7 minutes after the meter reaches 25 hours. This air
filter service minder time interval will be every 25 hours. On
intervals that are common with oil service, the oil message will
be displayed first followed by the air filter message.
M. FUEL TANK CAP
Turn the fuel cap at least two clicks counter-clockwise and pull
upward to remove. The fuel cap is tethered to the fuel tank to
prevent its loss. Do not attempt to remove the cap from the fuel
tank. Fill tank to 1/2 inch (12.7 mm) below the bottom of the
filler neck, allowing some space in the tank for fuel expansion.
Do not overfill the tank. The fuel tank holds approximately 2.5
(9.46 L) (EFI engines only) or 3 gallons (11.35 L) of gasoline.
Push the cap downward on the fuel tank filler neck and turn at
least two clicks clockwise to tighten. Always re-install the fuel
cap tightly onto the fuel tank after removing.
I. PTO BLADE ENGAGE LEVER
MANUAL PTO
Activating the PTO (blade engage) lever engages power to the
cutting deck or other (separately available) attachments. See
Engaging the PTO (Blade Engage) (Manual PTO tractors) section
for information and instructions on using the PTO.
J. TRANSMISSION BYPASS ROD
When engaged, the rod opens a bypass within
the hydrostatic transmission, which allows the
tractor to be pushed short distances by hand.
Refer to the Set-Up section for instructions on
using the bypass feature.
CAUTION
Never tow your tractor. Towing the tractor with the
rear wheels on the ground may cause severe damage to
the transmissions.
K. PARK BRAKE/CRUISE CONTROL LEVER
The park brake/
cruise control
lever is used
to engage the
parking brake
and the cruise
control. Refer to the Driving the Tractor 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 CANNOT be engaged at the tractor’s fastest
ground speed.
L. LCD SERVICE MINDER AND HOUR METER
IF EQUIPPED
The LCD service minder and
hour meter (if equipped)
will remind the operator of
maintenance intervals for
changing the engine oil, air
filter service, low engine oil
pressure and low battery
warnings. When the key is rotated out of the STOP position but is
not in the START position, the LCD service minder and hour meter
(if equipped) will briefly display the battery voltage, followed by
the tractor’s accumulated hours.
NOTE: When the ignition key is out of the STOP position the
hourglass symbol is illuminated/blinks to indicate it is recording
the hours of tractor operation, regardless of whether the engine
has been started.
