4. With engine idling, the "hour glass" icon should flash slowly. If not, check the low oil warning light and the
oil pressure switch.
See following NOTE. See also Test Procedure 22 – Oil Warning Light on
page 11-31.
NOTE:
The hour meter is designed to record actual engine running time and will not start adding incre-
ments until the engine is running and the oil pressure switch has opened.
5. If the hour meter still does not function after the low oil warning light, oil pressure switch, and all of the
appropriate wires have been checked for continuity, replace the fuel gauge/hour meter.
Test Procedure 27B – Hour Meter (From mid-2007)
1. Place the Forward/Reverse handle in NEUTRAL. Chock the wheels.
2. With the key switch OFF, check the hour meter display. It is powered by an internal battery and should
always be on, even with the engine off and the key removed.
3. Start the engine and let it idle.
See following DANGER.

DANGER
• Do not operate vehicle in an enclosed area without proper ventilation. The engine produces
carbon monoxide, which is an odorless, deadly poison.
4. With engine idling, the "hour glass" icon should flash. If not, check the low oil warning light and the oil
pressure switch.
See following NOTE. See also Test Procedure 22 – Oil Warning Light on
page 11-31.
NOTE:
The hour meter is designed to record actual engine running time and will not start adding incre-
ments until the engine is running and the oil pressure switch has opened.
5. If the hour meter still does not function after the low oil warning light, oil pressure switch, and all of the
appropriate wires have been checked for continuity, replace the fuel gauge/hour meter.
TEST PROCEDURE 28 – LIGHT SWITCH
See General Warning on page 1-1.
1. Turn the key switch OFF and remove the key. Place the Forward/Reverse handle in the NEUTRAL posi-
tion. Chock the wheels.
2. Disconnect the battery cables as instructed.
See WARNING “To avoid unintentionally starting...” in
General Warning on page 1-2.
3. Remove the instrument panel.
See Key Switch Removal, Section 13, Page 13-14.
4. Using a multimeter set on 20 volts DC, place alligator clips on the multimeter probes. Connect the red
(+) probe to the light switch terminal with the blue wire connected to it
(Figure 11-41, Page 11-37)
.
5. Connect the battery cables, positive (+) cable first.
6. Connect the black (–) probe of the multimeter to the negative (–) post of the battery.
7. With the light switch in the OFF position, the reading should be zero volts. With the light in the ON posi-
tion, the reading should be between 11 and 12.5 volts. If the there is no voltage reading, check continuity
of the 10-gauge red wire from the fuse block to the solenoid. Check continuity of the 14-gauge yellow wire
from the light switch to the fuse block. Check the fuse.
See Test Procedure 2 – Fuse on page 11-11.
If the headlight diode is functioning correctly, the wires and fuse show continuity and the readings are still
incorrect, replace the switch.
See Light Switch Removal, Section 13, Page 13-29.
