The LCD screen will alternate the letters "LO" followed by "OIL",
followed by the meter's accumulated time, which indicates
the engine has low oil pressure. This is common when starting
an engine. The indicator will remain active until the engine
sufficiently builds pressure after starting. If it remains on with the
engine at full speed and after a few minutes of operation, stop
the tractor immediately and check the engine oil level and add as
instructed in the Engine Operator's Manual. If the oil level is correct
and the indicator persists, contact an authorized service dealer.
LOW BATTERY
At startup, the battery voltage will briefly display, then changes
to accumulated hours. The letters "LO" followed by the letters
"BATT" will display, 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 and Maintenance section of this manual or have the
charging system checked by your local service dealer.
AIR FILTER SERVICE
The LCD screen will display the letters "CLN" followed by
the letters "AIR", followed by "FILT", followed by the meter's
accumulated time. "CLN/AIR/FILT/TIME" will alternate on the
display for 7 minutes after the meter reaches 25 hours. This air
filter service minder time interval will be every 25 hours. On
intervals that are common with oil service, the oil message will
be displayed first followed by the air filter message.
12 Throttle/Choke Control Lever, Throttle
Control or Electronic Governor Control
NOTE: When set in a given position, a uniform engine speed will
be maintained.
A. THROTTLE/CHOKE CONTROL LEVER (IF EQUIPPED)
Push the throttle/choke control lever forward to increase the
engine speed. The tractor is designed to operate with the
throttle/choke control lever at full throttle (FAST) when the
tractor is being driven and the mower deck is engaged. Pull
the throttle/choke control lever rearward to decrease the
engine speed. When starting the engine, push the control
lever fully forward into the CHOKE position. After starting and
warming the engine, move the control lever rearward until
you feel it move past the choke detent. Throttle is not meant to
control unit speed, throttle should remain in high speed while
operating blades.
B. THROTTLE CONTROL (IF EQUIPPED)
Push the throttle control lever forward to increase the engine
speed. The tractor is designed to operate with the throttle
control lever at full throttle (FAST) when the tractor is being
driven and the tractor deck is engaged. Pull the throttle control
lever rearward to decrease the engine speed.
OPERATION
C. ELECTRONIC GOVERNOR CONTROL (IF EQUIPPED)
When set in a given position, a uniform engine speed will
be maintained. The electronic governor control has various
inputs for maintaining engine speed. Use CUT setting for
optimal cutting performance in normal cutting conditions. Use
POWER CUT setting for optimal cutting performance in heavy
cutting conditions.
13 Choke Control (If Equipped)
The choke control determines the position
of the engine choke. Pull the knob out to
choke the engine; push the knob in to open
the choke.
Multi-Tool (Foot Deck Lift Models Only)
The multi-tool (a) is located on the front of the right console.
The multi-tool (a) can be used as a deck lift lockout, to remove
the footpan bolt, adjust the height of the lapbar drive control
levers, drive control lever stop adjustment and can be used as
a removal tool with the 1/2" socket end. See the Service and
Maintenance section for more information on multi-tool (a)
usage. See Figure 18.
Headlights (Not Shown/If Equipped)
The headlights are located on the front of the frame. The
headlights are ON whenever the ignition key is rotated out of
the STOP position and OFF when the ignition key is moved to the
STOP position.
Seat Adjustment Lever (Not Shown/
If Equipped)
