Working with Speed/Hour Meter
Tachometer (A) shows engine rpm, read in hundreds.
NOTE:
With the PTO shift lever in 540E position, engine fast idle speed above 1900 rpm (no load) or 1700 rpm (load) cannot be obtained with either the hand or foot throttle.
For economical 540E PTO (B) operation, increase engine speed until tachometer needle is aligned with 1700 rpm mark (B).
For standard 540 rpm PTO (C) operation, increase engine speed until tachometer needle is aligned with 2400 rpm mark (C).
Hour meter (D) shows hours of operation in full hours and tenths.
