FEATURES AND CONTROLS

Instrument Cluster

Information Display Area

Check Engine / Trouble Code Display
The diagnostic mode is accessible only when the check

engine MIL has been activated.
Use the following procedure to display diagnostic trouble

codes that were activated during current ignition cycle

causing the MIL to illuminate. Diagnostic trouble codes will

remain stored in the gauge (even if MIL turns off) until the

key is turned off.
1. If the trouble codes are not displayed, use the MODE button to toggle until “CK ENG”

displays on the information display area.

2. Press and hold the MODE button to enter the diagnostics code menu.
3. A set of three numbers will appear in the information area.
4. The first number (located far left) can range from 0 to 9. This number represents the total

number of trouble codes present (example: 2 means there are 3 codes present).

5. The second number (located top right) can be 2 to 6 digits in length. This number

equates to the suspected area of fault (SPN).

6. The third number (located bottom right) can be 1 to 2

digits in length. This number equates to the fault mode

(FMI).

7. See your dealer for Diagnostic Trouble Codes.
8. If more than one code exists, press the MODE button to

advance to the next trouble code.

To exit the diagnostic mode, press and hold the MODE button

or turn the ignition key OFF once the codes are recorded.

Horsepower Management

Horsepower management automatically increases or decreases pressure to the hydrostatic

transmission to sustain engine RPM and maintain optimum drive performance.
The horsepower management system uses an adjustable spring to determine how much the

tractive effort is reduced under load to maintain optimal engine power.
The spring is factory adjusted to achieve a balance between maximizing travel performance

such as speed and acceleration characteristics and minimizing the amount of operator

modulation of the treadle pedal to reduce engine lugging or stalling under loads. The factory

adjustment also accounts for the additional engine load from the optional factory installed air

conditioning.
If less responsive horsepower management is desired (i.e. increased engine lugging during

operation) see your dealer for adjustment.
