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.
