Your machine is equipped with one of the different styles of
hour meter listed below.
Hour Meter (Displays Numbers Only): The hour meter
measures the number of hours that the engine has run. The
hour meter has a self contained power source so the total hours
are always visible.
Hour Meter (Displays Numbers and Letters): This unit is
equipped with a dual function hour meter that records the
number of hours that the engine has run and the number of
hours that the PTO switch has been engaged.
"A" - Hour Glass Icon - The hour glass icon flashes when the
hour meter is recording the passage of time.
"B" - Mode Icon - The mode icon will display an "E" when
displaying engine hours, and a "P" when displaying PTO hours.
"C" - Time Display - This is the number of hours that are
recorded.
The default display of the hour meter is engine hours. The mode
icon will display a "E" and the hour glass icon will not flash.
To begin recording engine hours, start the unit's engine and
release the parking brake. The hour glass icon will flash.
To begin recording PTO hours, pull the PTO switch up to engage
the PTO clutch. The unit's engine must be running. The mode
icon will display a "P" and the hour glass icon will flash.
While recording PTO hours, the hour meter also records engine
hours; however, the hour meter only displays PTO hours when
recording PTO hours.
To stop recording PTO hours, push the PTO switch down to
disengage the PTO clutch.
To stop recording engine hours, engage the parking brake.
The hour meter has a self contained power source so that the
recorded hours are always visible even when the engine is OFF.
Malfunction Indicator Lamp (M.I.L.): The malfunction indicator
lamp detects problems with the engine. If the malfunction
indicator lamp begins to flash while you are operating the unit,
see the engine operator's manual.
Throttle Control: The throttle controls engine speed. Move the
throttle forward to increase engine speed and back to decrease
engine speed. Always operate at FULL throttle when mowing.
Fast throttle speed.
Slow throttle speed.
PTO (Power Take Off) Switch: The PTO switch engages
and disengages the mower blades. Pull UP on the switch to
engage, and push DOWN to disengage.
Ignition Switch: The ignition switch starts and stops the engine,
it has three positions:
Stops the engine and shuts off the electrical
system.
OFF
Allows the engine to run and powers the electrical
system.
RUN
Cranks the engine for starting.
START
NOTE: Never leave the ignition switch in the RUN position with
the engine stopped—this drains the battery.
Fuel Level Gauge: Displays the fuel level in the tank. The
fuel level gauge is installed in the top of the fuel tank and is
viewed by looking through the port hole in the instrument control
panel.
