HOUR METER
The
DGI
®
TACH/HOUR
hour meter tracks the hours of machine operation in order for routine
maintenance to be performed on a timely basis.
Your
DGI
® hour meter is pre-set at the
DGI
® factory to go into
Flash Alert
mode at 25-hour
intervals. Although the engine manufacturer does not require changing engine oil this often,
due
to heavy-duty use and extreme conditions inherent to tiller use, Barreto Manufacturing
strongly recommends frequent oil changes.
Refer to this manual for equipment service requirements and to the
Engine Manual
for other
engine service requirements.
While
Flash Alert
is active, hold the tip of the RESET TOOL (Key Kancel Wand) against the
meter as shown. Within several seconds, the display will stop flashing indicating the Service
Interval has been reset. If the wand gets lost, a small mechanic’s pick-up magnet will work.
RESET TOOL
TRENCHER INTENDED USE
This machine is designed for digging trenches in “normal” ground of reasonably soft dirt and
stones up to 6” (15cm) in diameter. Ground with larger stones, high clay content, very hard
packed, very dry, or in a frozen condition may be unsuitable for normal trenching. Consider using
a backhoe or other heavier equipment for such conditions.
