Kioti DK6010 Sputtered and Died

Hi all. My DK6010 has been a real workhorse since I got it. I got it with something like 36 hours on it and I've recently topped 200hrs. Yesterday I ran into a problem. It ran ok and then started running rough. Shortly after that it sputtered and died. I have CEL light on on the dashboard. I also see, where the hours meter is, the following. Some code that starts with a "P" followed by some characters that are unrecognizable. Next display shows "94". Then "F 09". Then "End". If I flip the ignition switch without trying to turn the engine over I get the CEL light, a red battery symbol and a red water drop symbol? Any idea what is going on? I had the hood pop a couple of times while I was working and got a lot of leaves and dust in the machine. I banged out the filter and tried and clean off the radiator and other filters as much as possible. Not really sure what else to check.

You may need to consult the manual or the dealer for explanations of your readouts. It sounds like a possible fuel issue. It could be water in the fuel, a bad filter, or crud in the tank where fuel exits. You may wish to consider replacing the air filter as well - no air = no fire.

Yeah. We reached out to the dealer and one person thinks it might be fuel related. They are going to pick it up. I was half hoping it was something I could fix so I could keep on working.
