If the action alarm does not sound during this test or machine monitoring displays are not functioning, do not operate the machine until the cause has been corrected. Machine operation with faulty action alarms or displays could result in injury or death as any Warning Category 3 notifications will not be relayed to the operator. |
When the engine start switch is in the ON position, the monitoring system runs a test. The operator must observe the monitoring system during the test to determine proper operation.
The self testing feature verifies that the modules of the monitoring system are properly operating.
The operator must observe the outputs in order to determine if the modules are operating properly. This self testing feature is three seconds long.
The monitoring panel will then return to the normal operating mode. If a switch is grounded, the monitoring system will display the modes.

Action Lamp (1) - The action lamp is on the Gauge cluster. |
In category 1, the action light is solid amber. This category alerts the operator that the machine system needs attention.
In this category, the action light flashes red. The warning category requires you to change the machine operation in order to prevent machine damage. Changing the machine operation will reduce the excessive temperature in one of the systems or in more than one of the systems. Also, changing the machine operation will reduce the excessive engine speed.
If the alert indicator continues to flash, the machine should be stopped and the problem should be investigated.
In this category, the action lamp flashes red. Also, the action alarm will sound. This category requires immediate shutdown of the operation in order to prevent severe damage to the machine, possible injury, or death.
Do not operate the machine until the cause has been corrected.
Note: If the action lamp flashes amber there is a communication failure.

Hydraulic Oil Temperature (15) - The gauge indicates the temperature of the hydraulic oil in the hydraulic oil sump for the steering and implement circuits. If the gauge needle enters the red zone the hydraulic oil temperature is excessive. The Advisor Panel will display a warning. If necessary, reduce the load that is on the machine until the hydraulic oil temperature decreases. |
![]() |
Engine Coolant Temperature (16) - The water temperature regulator regulates the coolant temperatures. If the gauge needle enters the red zone the coolant temperature is excessive. Increased temperatures will sound the warning alarm. Continued operation of the machine during the sounding of the warning alarm or the gauge needle in the red zone may damage the engine. Stop the machine in a safe place and investigate the cause. |
![]() |
Engine Oil Pressure (17) - The gauge indicates the oil pressure level in the engine. If the gauge needle enters the red zone, the pressure level of the oil is low. Stop the machine in a safe place and investigate the cause. |
![]() |
Fuel Level (18) - The fuel level gauge indicates the amount of fuel that remains in the fuel tank. A gauge needle in the red zone indicates a low fuel level. |

The digital display window (19) provides readouts that show the following items:
- Operational hours (service hours)
- Selected gear and direction
- Engine Speed
Service Hour Meter - This display indicates the total operating hours of the engine. Use the display in order to determine the service hour maintenance intervals.
Note: You may view the error messages by turning the start switch key to the ON position three times. The error messages will scroll across the display window (20) on the front dash. The engine does not need to be started.

Illustration 5 | g01927393 |
Digital Display Area (20) - This Messenger system shows information on digital display area (20).
Note: Do not operate the machine if information that is shown on digital display area (20) cannot be understood.
Previous Button (21) - Use this button to return to information that was previously shown on digital display area (20).
Scroll Up/Left Button (22) - This button is used to scroll up through information that is shown on the digital display area. The button can also be used to scroll to the left through information that is shown on the digital display area.
Scroll Down/Right Button (23) - This button is used to scroll down through information that is shown on the digital display area. The button can also be used to scroll to the right through information that is shown on the digital display area.
OK Button (24) - After you have made selections with the scroll up/left button (22) and with the scroll down/right button (23), use this button in order to confirm those selections.
When the engine start switch key is turned to the ON position, Messenger will return to the previous operator profile.
There are two ways to activate the previously used operator profile. If the OK button (24) is pressed within 10 seconds of turning the engine start switch key to the ON position, the previous operator profile will be restored. If none of the buttons are pressed, the previous operator profile will be restored after 10 seconds.
If the PREVIOUS button (21) is pressed within 10 seconds of turning the engine start switch key to the ON position, the operator can choose from a list of operator profiles. If the PREVIOUS button (21) is pressed again, the operator can create a new profile.

- System voltage
- Left drive motor speed
- Right drive motor speed
- Remaining fuel for operation
Note: In order to enable the kickout function or the float function, the start switch key must be cycled between the ON position and the OFF position. The same process must be followed in order to disable the kickout function or the float function.
The following options are accessible via the "MACHINE SETTINGS" menu:
- Implement modulation
- Kickout enable/disable
- Machine acceleration and deceleration rate
- Steering response rate
- Steering modulation
- Engine

Within the "IMPLEMENT MODULATION" option, the operator can adjust the implement modulation. The operator can choose from three levels of modulation: Normal, fine and coarse.
Within the "KICKOUT ENABLE/DISABLE" option, the operator can enable the following kickout functions: lift, lower, rack back, dump and float. The operator can also disable these functions from this menu.
Within the "MACHINE ACCELERATION/DECELERATION RATE" option, the operator can adjust the response rate for the hystat controls. The operator can choose from two levels of response rate: low and medium.
Within the "STEERING RESPONSE RATE" option, the operator can adjust the steering response rate. The steering response rate changes the speed between the steering command and the machine response. The operator can choose from two levels of response rate: low and medium. For example, a low response rate would be preferred in rough ground conditions in order to avoid accidental input due to vibration of the machine.
The "STEERING MODULATION" option changes the amount of pedal travel that is required to adjust the turning angle. The operator can also choose from two levels of modulation: low and medium. For example, low modulation would be preferred when less turning speed is required.
