buying used 773

[krunchkat99]

Hi, I just found this forum the other day and it is great. I am looking at buying a used 773 and in the add it has a picture of the left insument panel. there is a message on the screen "GLo12" just wondering what this means. Is it the code for a problem or just a normal message. This will be my first bobcat. I have owned an older Thomas in the past. Any help would be great, Thanks.

Thank you for the quick reply.

My old machine was gas so I guess so this is just the normal deisel start up procedure, to warm the glow plugs?

Yes perfectly normal. Most newer machine have a automated timer to prevent burning out the glow plugs by holding them on to long, or poor starts by not using them enough.
