Service Meter
The service meter displays the total number of
hours the engine has run and indicates when the
engine and mower need servicing.
After every 50 hours of operation, an oil can icon
will appear and stay on for two hours, before
an automatic reset occurs. To manually reset
the meter, turn the key off and on five times at
one second intervals. To service the engine and
mower, see the Service Journal of this manual.

only when the engine is running. Be sure to turn
the key off when the unit is not in use, to prevent
meter hours from accumulating.
