2.11LOWOILPBESSUBESHUTDOWNSYSTEM
Theengineis equippedwith a low oil pressuresensorthat shuts
downthe engineautomaticallywhen the oil pressuredropsbelow
5 psi. A delay built into the low oil shutdown system allows oil
pressureto build during starting. The delayallows the engineto
run for about 10 secondsbeforesensingoil pressure.If theengine
shutsdown by itselfandthe fueltank has enoughgasoline,check
engineoil level.
2.1I.1RESTARTING
Iftrying to restartthe enginewithin 10secondsafterit shuts down,
the enginemay NOTstart. Thesystem needs5 to 10 secondsto
reset.
If the engine is restarted after such a shutdown and the low oil
pressurehas not beencorrected,the enginewill run for about 10
secondsas describedaboveandthenstop.
2.12CHABGINGTHEBATTEBY(XG7OOOE&XGBOOOE)
,_Do not permit smoking, open flame, sparks
or any other source of heat around a battery.
Wear protective goggles, rubber apron and
rubber gloves when working around a battery.
Battery electrolyte fluid is an extremely
corrosive sulfuric acid solution that can cause
severe burns, if spill occurs flush area with
clear water immediately.
Storage batteries give off explosive hydrogen
gas while recharging. An explosive mixture will
remain around the battery for a long time after
it has been charged. The slightest spark can
ignite the hydrogen and cause an explosion.
Such an explosion can shatter the battery and
cause blindness or other serious injury.
