5.6 Low oil alarm system
The low oil alarm system is designed to prevent engine damage caused by an insufficient amount of oil
in the crankcase. Before the oil level in the crankcase falls below a safe limit, the low oil alarm
system will automatically shut down the engine (the engine switch will remain in the ON position).
If the low oil alarm system shuts down the engine the red low oil alarm indictor light will come on when
you operate the starter, and the engine will not run. If this occurs, search for any oil leaks. Add engine
oil to resume normal operation.
