Time flies when your having fun? Seriously the hour meter is flawed if it is running that fast as 4 to 5 times time. I do not believe it is adjustable so I would replace the meter with a new one. :frown:

One other thing you can do is to check for 12 volts or power at the hour meter with a voltmeter or inexpensive test light to verify that there is not a short somewhere in the wiring. Of course make sure that the key is off. Oh and by the way :welcome: to the forum.

Hello I just bought a ZT 42 and had a hour meter installed by dealer. I got it home and meter does not seem to work. It reads 0000.1 after two mows, about 1.7 hours of mowing. I called dealer he said check connections. I did and they seem fine. One wire P connected to a purple wire in key switch and one wire N to frame. Any idea why meter won't work?

Sounds like faulty meter or connections backwards
