Track Operating Hours And Save Money
Good intentions of changing oil and servicing engines are great. But few people will keep a log on every truck or tractor, much less every lawn mower or chain saw.

Track Operating Hours And Save Money ENGINES Engines 31-2-40 Good intentions of changing oil and servicing engines are great. But few people will keep a log on every truck or tractor, much less every lawn mower or chain saw.
"On-time servicing of equipment from oil and filters to coolant and belts will extend equipment life and reduce down time," says Herb Ley, SenDEC Corp. "Knowing when to service is the key, and for that you need an hour meter."
SenDEC markets an inductive input hour meter that makes it easy to capture "actual" engine run time. The meter uses a"pick-up" wire that wraps around a spark plug wire. The inductive circuit senses when the engine is running based on the spark plug's firing and triggers the meter to count.
"It can be installed on any gasoline engine, one to eight cylinders," says Ley.
Models vary based on function and type of engine. Simple, surface-mounted, inductive hour meters start at $36.95.
