Systems Indicator Monitor
LCD
Located in the center of the tractor’s console, the
systems indicator monitor records, and displays on its
LCD, hours of tractor operation whenever the ignition
key is rotated out of the STOP position.
The Indicator Monitor will also remind the operator of
maintenance intervals for changing the engine oil. The
LCD will alternately flash the recorded hours, “CHG” and
“OIL” for five minutes, after every 50 hours of recorded
operation elapse. The maintenance interval lasts for two
hours (from 50-52, 100-102, 150-152, etc.). The LCD will
also flash as described above for five minutes every time
the tractor’s engine has been started during this main-
tenance interval. Before the interval expires, change the
crankcase oil level as instructed in this Operator’s Manual.
Brake
If the Brake light illuminates when attempting to start the
tractor’s engine, depress the brake pedal.
PTO (Blade Engage)
If the PTO light illuminates when attempting to start the
tractor’s engine, push the PTO switch into the disen-
gaged (OFF) position.
Oil
It is normal for the Oil light to illuminate while the engine
is cranking during start-up, but if it illuminate’s during
operation, while the engine is running, stop the
tractor immediately and check the crankcase oil level as
instructed in this Owner’s Manual.
Battery
It is normal for the Battery light to illuminate while the
engine is cranking during start-up, but if it illuminate’s
during operation, while the engine is running, the
battery is in need of a charge or the engine’s charging
system is not generating sufficient amperage. Refer
to the MAINTENANCE section of this manual for the
proper battery charging procedure or have the charging
system checked by your service dealer.
