Low Gas Window The low gas window is located at the rear of the tractor. If the gas level is visible in this window, the tank should be re-filled. FILL TANK IF GAS LEVEL IS SHOWN IN WINDOW Transmission Bypass Rod The transmission bypass rod is located at the rear of the tractor on the lower right section of the frame. When engaged, the rod opens a bypass within the hydrostatic transmissions, which allows the tractor to be pushed short distances by hand. Refer to the Assembly & Set-Up section for instructions on using the bypass feature. NOTE: If the tractor will not move or does not move freely when pushing check if the bypass lever is fully open. NOTE: The transmission will NOT engage when the hydrostatic bypass rod is pulled out. Return the rod to its normal position prior to operating the tractor. If the tractor will not move when pushing on the forward/reverse pedals, or moves slowly, check to see of the bypass valve is on. CAUTION: Never tow your tractor. Towing the tractor with the rear wheels on the ground may cause severe damage to the transmissions. Hydrostatic Transmission Oil Plug/Dipstick The hydrostatic transmission oil plug/dipstick is located on the back of the tractor frame and is used to check the level of the hydrostatic transmission oil. The oil fill port is where hydrostatic transmission oil can be added. 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 disply 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 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 intervall will occur every 50 hours. Before the interval expires, change the engine oil as instructed in the Maintenance section of this Operator's Manual.

The letters "LO" will display followed by the letters "BATT" and then followedyby the meter's accumlulated 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.
