OPERATING THE TRACTOR

Coolant Temperature Gauge
To avoid personal injury:
A
Do not remove radiator cap until coolant
temperature is well below its boiling point.
Then loosen cap slightly to the stop to relieve
any pressure before removing cap completely.
1. With the key switch at "ON", this gauge indicates the
temperature of the coolant. "C" for "cold" and "H" for
"hot".
2. If the indicator reaches the "H" position (red zone),
engine coolant is overheated. Check the tractor by
referring to "TROUBLESHOOTING" section.
B
Hourmeter / Tachometer
This meter gives readings for engine speed, PTO shaft
speed and the hours the tractor has been operated.
1. The tachometer indicates the engine speed and the
540 PTO shaft speed location on the dial.
2. The hourmeter indicates in five digits the hours the
tractor has been used; the last digit indicates 1/10 of
an hour.
