As I was running the genset today on my 2006 Outlook 25F I noticed that the hourmeter was not counting hours but an hourglass symbol was flashing on the hourmeter inside the coach on the monitor panel.

We have only had the unit since early December and to be honest, I did not notice what it was counting , or showing before.

I am assuming it is time to do some maintaince?

Are you sure it wasn't counting? If it reads in tenths of an hour that's 6 minutes between number changes. On mine the hourglass blinks whenever the generator is running, like an activity indicator.

That is an indication that it is working. The engine is running and the generator is making voltage.

Not to worry. It's OK

There should be an hour meter on the gen set, the electic panel, or on your computer for the main engine if you have a computer installed on your rig.

Mine has a gauge on the electrical panel and also it is hooked up to the Trip-tek system.
