REVERSED ENGINE ROTATION AND REMEDIES

down immediately.

1. Oil pressure will drop suddenly. The oil pressure light will
come on.
2. The sound of the engine will change. Exhaust gases will
come out of the air intake.
3. A loud knocking sound will be heard.
REMEDIES
1. Stop the engine immediately using the engine stop lever.
2. Check the air cleaner and rubber parts of the air intake
system for damage. Replace as needed.
