MA-16231
The International Cub Cadet Tractors are equipped
with an hour meter which is located on the
instrument panel. It indicates the actual hours of
engine operation, enabling the operator to deter-
mine without guesswork, when lubrication, change
of oil or periodic inspections are necessary. It also
provides a means of computing cost of specific
jobs. The hour meter operates whenever the engine
is running or the ignition key is in the "ON"
position.
NOTE: Remove all dirt from around the spark plug
before removing.
Remove the spark plug, always using a spark plug
wrench, after every 100 hours of operation to
check the gap.
CAUTION!
To avoid possible injury, be
sure engine is off and cool before making
adjustments or repairs.
Replace a defective plug with a new plug. See your
I nternational Harvester dealer for the correct
replacement plug.
The red dial indicates the number of hours from
0 to 60. The yellow dial indicates the total hours
of operation up to 600. For one revolution of the
red dial the yellow dial moves 1/10 of a revolution.
The white dial indicates that the hourmeter is
operating.
