Oil Warning Systems
LOW OIL LEVEL
NOTE: The low oil condition must exist for a minimum of 15 seconds before horn or light
is activated.
The system is activated when the oil in the engine mounted oil reservoir tank drops below
22 fl. oz. (175 ml). You still have an oil reserve remaining for 30 minutes of full speed oper-
ation.
NOTE: The engine mounted oil reservoir (located beneath the top cowl) along with the
remote oil tank will have to be refilled (refer to Filling the Oil tanks).
The warning system works as follows:
The OIL light (a) will come on and the warning horn sounds a series of four short tones.
If you continue to operate the outboard, the light will stay on and the horn will sound four
short tones every two minutes. The engine has to be shut off to reset the warning system.
a
OIL PUMP NOT FUNCTIONING ELECTRICALLY
The system is activated if the oil pump stops functioning electrically. No lubricating oil is
being supplied to the engine. Stop the engine as soon as possible. Continuing to operate
the engine can result in severe engine damage.
The warning system works as follows:
The OIL light (a) and CHECK ENGINE light (b) will come on and the warning horn will be-
gin sounding. The warning system will automatically reduce and limit the engine speed
to 3000 RPM.
The engine has to be shut off to reset the warning system.
