Oil Pressure Switch Replacement

panel and a buzzer if the oil pressure drops below safe
levels during operation.
Pressure switch ON pressure: 0.5 kg/cm

(7 psi)
Replace the switch if it is not operating correctly. Before
installing the switch put a small amount of LOCTITE
#567 Thread Sealant (or equivalent) on the switch
threads. When installing the switch make sure the
sealant does not block the oil hole in the switch.
