Hi, the meter flashes oil change when they are due(at pre-programed intervals) and will stop flashing two running hours after flashing starts. The hours that are showing are total running hours from new. Hope this helps, regards Phil.
SERVICE REMINDER/HOUR METER Service reminder shows the total number of hours the engine has run and flashes to indicate that the engine or mower needs servicing. When service is required, the service reminder will flash for two hours. To service engine and mower, see the Maintenance section of this manual. NOTE: Service reminder runs when the ignition key is in any position but "STOP". For accurate reading, be sure key remains in the "STOP" position when engine is not running.
The Service Monitor meter contains a service minder function that utilizes the 4-digit LCD display. The letters "CHG" will display followed by the letters "OIL" and then followed by the meter accumulated time. "CHG"/"OIL"/TIME will alternate on the display for five(5) minutes after the meter reaches 50 hours. The display will also flash as described above for five(5) minutes every time the tractor has been started during the maintenance time interval. The interval will occur every 50 hours and will be in effect for two(2) hours ( Example: this feature will display from 50-52 hrs., 100-102 hrs., 150-152 hrs etc...). While the LCD is displaying the "CHG"/"OIL"/TIME letters, the red LED "oil symbol" will also be flashing for the entire five(5) minutes. The meter display will return to normal function automatically after the reminder maintenance time interval of two(2) hours.There is no method of manually re-setting this Service Monitor gauge.
What you are actually getting is Chg Oil (change oil). This is preprogrammed in, as a reminder for you to service the engine. It will go back to the hour meter mode after about 1 hour of additional runtime. If you have changed your oil and filter, there is nothing else to do. The oil and filter need to be changed regularly. If the oil breaks down in your engine, it will lose it's lubricating properties and the engine will seize up.
This is a oil change code, telling you it's time to change the oil. It takes up to 3 running hours to reset and will do so automatically. There is no manual reset. If you've changed the oil & filter, you're all set. Thanks for your question, and please let us know the outcome by rating this solution. Papa.
