2.2 HOURMETER

The Hourmeter tracks hours of operation for scheduled maintenance:
There will be a "CHG OIL" message every 100 hours. The message
will flash one hour before and one hour after each 100 hour interval,
providing a two hour window to perform service.
This message will actually begin flashing at 99 hours and disable
itself at 101 hours, again providing a two hour window to perform the
service.
Every 200 hours the "SVC" icon on the lower left hand corner of the
display will flash. The message will flash one hour before and one
hour after each 200 hour interval providing a two hour window to
perform service.
When the hour meter is in the Flash Alert mode, the maintenance
message will always alternate with elapsed time in hours and tenths.
The hours will flash four times, then alternate with the maintenance
message four times until the meter resets itself.
• 100 hours - CHG OIL — Oil Change Interval (Every 100 hrs)
• 200 hours - SVC — Air Filter Interval (Every 200 hrs)
