ignition key is in position ON (see "3.2.2 pos: 1. Ignition switch").

If the indicator reaches the red reserve area (A) during use,
stop the machine and provide for refuelling.
3. Hour meter
This instrument indicates the total number of operating hours of
the engine. The count is continuous and the hour number is in-
creased by 0.1 when the engine has worked for 0.1 hour (6 min-
utes), independently of the engine speed.
The hour counter keeps counting even if the machine isn’t work-
ing or travelling.
The reading of the hour counter must be used as reference for the
machine maintenance intervals.
