FUEL GAUGE/HOUR METER
See General Warning, Section 1, Page 1-1.
Testing the Fuel Gauge/Hour Meter
See Test Procedure 30, Section 11c, Page 11c-46. Also see Test Procedure 31 – Hour Meter on
page 11c-48.
Early 2007 vehicles: With the key switch in the OFF position, the fuel gauge/hour meter fields are blank.
When the key switch is turned to ON, both fields activate. Late 2007 vehicles: With the key switch in the OFF
position, the fuel gauge field is blank; however, the hour meter field is always ON. When the key switch is
turned to ON, the fuel gauge field activates.
All 2007 vehicles: The fuel gauge initially registers full before
indicating the actual fuel level.
The hour meter displays the number of hours of use in increments of 0.1 (one tenth) hour, but does not record
additional time unless the key switch is in the ON position and the engine is on. When recording, the hour-
glass icon on the left blinks (slowly on Early 2007 vehicles).
Fuel Gauge/Hour Meter Removal
1. Turn the key switch OFF and remove the key. Place the Forward/Reverse handle in NEUTRAL. Chock
the wheels.

2. Remove the fuel gauge/hour meter.
2.1. Early 2007 vehicles: Slide the mounting bracket onto the two threaded studs on the fuel gauge/
hour meter. Secure the fuel gauge/hour meter with two lockwashers and two hex nuts. Tighten to
2.5 in-lb (.28 N·m). Place one drop of Loctite on each hex nut. Do not allow Loctite to come into con-
tact with the fuel gauge/hour meter casing.
2.2. Late 2007 vehicles: Force the mounting clip (14) onto the back of the fuel gauge/hour meter until
fully seated.
