A - Oil Pressure Indicator

The Oil Pressure Indicator illuminates when you turn the key to the run position. The indicator goes out when the engine is started. If the indicator comes on during operation, the engine oil pressure is too low. Stop the engine and perform appropriate service. (See Checking Engine Oil Level in the SERVICE ENGINE section.)

B - Fuel Gauge

The Fuel Gauge shows approximately how much fuel is in the fuel tank. (See Filling Fuel Tank in the SERVICE MISCELLANEOUS section.)

C - Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) (X590)

The Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) illuminates when the computerized engine management system detects a malfunction. If light is on, stop machine, disengage PTO, and shut off engine. If light illuminates after restart, contact your John Deere dealer.

Engine overheating occurs when there is excessive debris in the engine compartment area. If overheating occurs, the MIL light illuminates and the engine goes into a reduced RPM mode. (See Clean-Out Areas in the MACHINE CLEAN-OUT section.)

D - Mower and PTO Indicator

If the Mower and PTO engagement lever is pulled out when you turn the key to the run position, the Mower and PTO Light comes on. If the Mower and PTO engagement lever is pulled outward, the Mower and PTO light comes on.

E - Hour Meter

The Hour Meter shows the number of hours the engine has run.

If the decimal point is blinking, the hour meter is counting time.
