[QUOTE="JustAwrench, post: 1062, member: 178"] The software versions 37.0 and higher have a provision for a service warning schedule, which interval can be set by preference. I have been setting the interval at 50 hrs. on new machines that I PDI (pre-delivery inspection) so that beginning at 40 hours, the operator, at engine start, will get a 2-beep audio and visual (in the hour meter screen)warning informing him to service his machine. He can reset from the panel but the interval can only be reset with the service computer and interface. Ideally, I would think the customer would bring it to us for the first service, where we could then reset to 250 hrs. But-I have been wondering-would this tend to irritate and annoy rather than help-How would you feel if you got a service warning on a new machine at 40 hours, then found out you had to have a software mod to turn it off or change it? I think most customers would appreciate the reminder-we had a guy recently who had to buy an engine because he never serviced it for 1300 hrs-I don't want to see that happen to anyone again, or at least make it so I don't have any excuse to feel guilty=).
