The subsequent-generation RED management module is linked to the mower mannequin and serial quantity, permitting monitoring of service and utilization knowledge. RED Know-how additionally tracks machine well being and delivers on-screen notifications when engine or transmission oil adjustments are due. When the system detects an error, the error/troubleshooting code is displayed as textual content on the display screen.
