28.25.The hour meter incorporates an engine tachom-
eter. See Figure 28.25.
• The hour meter is completely isolated from the
rest of the mower’s electrical system. It is driven
by an inductive signal from the spark plug wire.
• The function switches automatically to tachome-
ter when the meter is receiving a signal from the
inductive pick-up, which happens when the
engine is running.
• When the signal ceases (engine is turned off),
the tachometer reverts to an hour meter.
