Hourmeter

The hourmeter (a, Figure 5) measures the number of hours
the key has been in the RUN position. The hourmeter
will flash an initial oil change indicator at 5 hours, and a
lubrication reminder every 50 hours. These reminders
display for approximately two hours and will automatically
reset themselves.
NOTE: The hourmeter will register the passage of time
when the key is in the RUN position, even if the engine is
not running. The hourmeter has a self contained power
source so the total hours are always visible.

12-Volt Power Outlet

The 12-volt accessory plug is located in the left side pod.
It can be used to power small electronic devices. The
accessory must be rated at 9 amps or less.
NOTE: Operating a 12-volt accessory, especially with
the engine at idle, may cause battery discharge. When
not using the accessory plug it must be covered with the
rubber plug to prevent moisture from causing a short circuit.
Entrance of water into plug can cause a short circuit.
automatic Controlled Traction
What is automatic Controlled Traction?
Automatic Controlled Traction (ACT) is an exclusive feature
of our transmissions that provides improved traction. ACT
applies a preset amount of torque to both rear wheels even
if one starts slipping (a transmission without ACT will lose
traction completely if one rear wheel starts slipping). This
preset torque is just enough to provide additional traction,
and still allow the wheels to turn at different speeds in a
tight turn without damaging the lawn.
What to Expect from Your aCT Tractor
For the most part, while using your tractor you will
not notice ACT working, and you will simply become
accustomed to increased traction an ACT transmission
provides.
Under certain circumstances the ACT system limit can be
exceeded, and one of the rear wheels may slip (for instance
if trying to turn up a hill while accelerating). This is normal.
If you start to lose traction, do not speed up. Instead,
slow to a stop, straighten the steering wheel, and slowly
accelerate. Stopping the tractor allows the transmission to
regain more traction.
