 Hour Meter
The hour meter measures the number of hours the 
PTO has been engaged.  The hour meter has a self 
contained power source so the total hours are always 
visible.

three positions:
OFF

electrical system.

NOTE: Never leave the ignition switch in the RUN 
position with the engine stopped–this drains the 
battery.

Turning the handle to the desired position determines

towards the operator, it will shut off fuel flow to the 
engine.
