M7580 flashing "idiot" light on the dash (top right)

[tool172]

Just bought a 1995 M7580, flashing idiot light on top right of easy check dash showed up. Guessing it's a hydraulic issue. I have a QT loader on scv2, and 3 scvs. Everything seems to be running good. No noticeable leaks anywhere right now.

1) I need to buy a service manual and am working on finding it online. If anyone has any links to a reputable link i will pay.

2) What does the light mean? ? What fluid is the culprit?

Your going to need to get the WSM form a dealer, doesn't look like there is one available online.

Does the light have a symbol or just a light?

Here's a photo. Also the hydro fluid at the rear looks full on the dip stick.

When were the filters changed?

Hydro or engine oil? I don't know.

Hydraulics, as I think that symbol is a flow issue.

Probably those filters you mentioned earlier.

I guess I'm changing the filters.

Is it flashing bright and consistent or is it what in my case I described as having a nervous twitch; like it has tourettes! LOL. I don't know if this will help with your prob, but I recently had a issue with my '93 L5450 and a dashboard alert that was not flashing or consistent. It was my hydro filter restriction alert. Problem was the filter had 21, give or take, easy hours on it so I just didn't believe the warning. I fixed it by wriggling the dash/instrument plugs. Bear in mind that usually NOTHING is ever simple!

It's totally consistent and bright.

Got the WSM and operator mannuals. It's a low brake pressure or barking break light. I added a cup to the reservoir with no luck. Going to check lights and play in emergency brake and then have my neighbor over so we can bleed it out.

How often do the sensors go out?

That light is for your parking brake. I bought a m7580 a few months
Ago and took me a few days to figure it out myself.
