Frequently Asked Questions
What does the red master warning light mean on my ASV skid steer?
The red master warning indicates a critical fault that requires immediate shutdown. Check the display for specific fault codes and address the issue before restarting.
Why is my check engine light on and can I continue working?
The check engine light signals an emissions or performance fault. It is safe to continue but have the system diagnosed soon to prevent further damage.
How do I reset the service hour meter light?
After performing scheduled maintenance, the service light can be reset via the machine's display menu or by a dealer using diagnostic software.
What should I do if the hydraulic warning light comes on?
Stop the machine and check the hydraulic fluid level. If low, refill and inspect for leaks. If light persists, contact a service technician.
Can I operate with the water in fuel light on?
No, operating with water in the fuel can damage the injection system. Drain the water separator immediately.
Why does my glow plug light stay on for a long time?
In cold conditions, the preheat cycle takes longer. If it stays on excessively, glow plugs may be faulty and need replacement.
