Operation Manual
Oil  Alert  System 
The Oil  Alert  system  is designed  to prevent  engine  damage  caused  by  an  in- 
sufficient  amount  of  oil  in  the  crankcase.  Before  the  oil  level  in  the 
crankcase  can fall  below  a safe  limit,  the  Oil  Alert  system  will  automatically 
shut  down  the  engine  (the  engine  switch  will  remain  in the  ON position). 
If the  Oil Alert  system  shuts  down  the  engine,  the  Oil Alert  lamp  will  flash 
when  you  operate  the  starter,  and  the  engine  will  not  run.  If  this  occurs, 
add  engine  oil  (page  7).

Circuit  Breaker  (for  electric  starter) 
The circuit  breaker  protects  the  battery  charging  circuit.  A  short  circuit  or  a 
battery  connected  in  reverse  polarity  will  trip  the  circuit  breaker. 
The  green  indicator  inside  the  circuit  breaker  will  pop out  to  show  that  the 
circuit  breaker  has  switched  off.  If this  occurs,  determine  the  cause  of  the 
problem  and  correct  it  before  resetting  the  circuit  breaker. 
Push  the  circuit  breaker  button  to  reset.
