NH LX565 - F04 showing on EIC.

[mugford]

Hi there, In the last few days I've been getting a F04 appearing on the instrument cluster after switching to RUN after starting. I have no idea what it indicates. Everything seems to be working fine and I was unable to find any reference to it in my manual. Any direction greatly appreciated!! Mike in Canada

I'll try and check my engine manual when I get a chance. Unfortunately NH has about 5 manuals to cover the whole machine. So I'm not sure if the EIC is in that manual.
Charger is the guy you really need.
Btw where are you at

Thanks Ken, I'd really appreciate any help on it. I'm in London, ON. Purchased the machine in the spring but it hasn't been really put to work yet as I've only just recently acquired a trailer. Thanks again Mike

did you flip your service run switch from service to run while the machine was running? that can cause that problem, if not f4 is the fuel shut off solenoid shorted out

You can catch up with Charger at his web site.

The starter sticking thing happens to my ls 160 to. It is the heavy grease inside the starter that the bendix slides on. The bendix gear is slow to retract because the spring can't move the heavy gease fast enough, and this holds the solinoid contacts shut so it continues to crank. It is not a problem with the key switch. Who ever designed and assembled this starter was not considering -30.
Washing the grease out and putting something lighter on it will help.
You need 0-40 oil for your climate. NH in Steinbach (where Charger works) recommends it year around. Also get a block heater from your local auto parts store. You can remove the cover under the oil pan and stick your mag heater under the engine. Also tarp the unit over if you must leave it outside in -30 weather.
My pedals are stiff until I move them the first time, eveytime I shut it off.
To me it sounds like other then the head lights this is all cold weather trouble.

Sticky starter happened to me the other day and I cleaned it last fall and oiled it with synthetic. If it would not have fired and kicked the pinion out there was nothing going to stop it. And that is on a little ford engine.
