Park Brake/Cruise Control Lever
Located in the center of the tractor’s dash panel below the steering
wheel, the park brake/cruise control lever is used to engage the
parking brake and the cruise control. Refer to the Operation section
of this manual for detailed instructions regarding the parking brake.
NOTE:
The parking brake must be set if the operator
leaves the seat with the engine running or the engine will
automatically shut off.
NOTE:
Cruise control can NOT be engaged at the tractor’s
fastest ground speed.
WARNING!
Never leave a running machine
unattended. Always disengage the PTO, set the
parking brake, stop the engine and remove the key
to prevent unintended starting.
Hour Meter
LCD Service Minder & Hour Meter
When the ignition key is rotated
out of the STOP position but
not into the START position, the
LCD Service Minder and Hour
Meter will briefly display the
battery voltage, followed by the
tractor’s accumulated hours.
NOTE:
Hours of tractor operation
are recorded any time the ignition
key is rotated out of the STOP
position, regardless of whether
the engine is started.
The LCD Service Minder will remind the operator of maintenance
intervals for changing the engine oil, air filter service, low engine
oil and low battery warnings.
Change Oil
The LCD will display the letters “CHG”, followed by the letters
“OIL”, followed by the letters “SOON”, then finally followed by the
meter’s accumulated time. “CHG/OIL/SOON/TIME” will alternate
on the display for 7 minutes after the meter reaches 50 hours.
This oil service minder interval will occur every 50 hours. Before
the interval expires, change the engine oil as instructed in the
Maintenance section of the Engine Operator’s Manual
Low Oil (If so equipped)
The letters “LO” followed by the letters “OIL”, then followed by
the meter’s accumulated time will indicate the tractor is low on
oil. When an engine is not running and immediately after the
engine is started the oil pressure may be low. This can trigger the
“LO” “OIL” text. This is normal. If the low oil indication persists
stop the tractor immediately and check the engine oil level as
instructed in the Engine Operator’s Manual.
NOTE:
The “LOW OIL” function only works if the engine is
equipped with an oil pressure switch.
Low Battery
At startup, the battery voltage is briefly displayed then changes
to accumulated hours. The letters “LO” will display followed by
the letters “BATT” and then followed by the meter’s accumulated
time. “LO/BATT/TIME” is displayed on the LCD when the voltage
drops below 11.5 volts. When this occurs, the battery is in need
of a charge or the engine’s charging system is not generating
sufficient amperage. Charge the battery as instructed in the
Service section of this manual or have the charging system
checked by your local service dealer.
Air Filter Service
The letters “CLN” will display, followed by the letters “AIR”,
followed by “FILT”, then followed by the meter’s accumulated
time. “CLN/AIR/FILT/TIME” will alternate on the display for 7
minutes after the meter reaches 50 hours. This air filter service
minder time interval will be every 50 hours. On intervals that are
common with oil service, the oil message will be displayed first
followed by the air filter message.
