Hour Meter:
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

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.
