Hour Meter / Maintenance Reminder
Measures the time of the PTO being engaged. The hour
meter measures the number of hours the PTO has been
engaged. The hour meter will flash an initial oil change
indicator at 5 hours, and a lubrication reminder every 50
hours. These reminders display for approximately two
hours and will automatically reset themselves.
Note: The hour meter will register the passage of time only
when the PTO is engaged. The hour meter has a self
contained power source so the total hours are always
visible.
