ALARM
SWITCH
A
low
oil pressure alarm switch is located off the engine's
oil gallery. This switch's sensor monitors the engine's oil
pressure.
Should the engine's oil pressure fall to 5 -
IO
psi
(0.4 - 0.7 kg/cm2), this switch will activate a pulsating alarm.
ENGINE
CIRCUIT
BREAKER
The DC harness on the engine is protected by
an
engine-
mounted manual reset circuit breaker
(20 amps DC).
Excessive current draw or electrical overload anywhere
in
the
instrument panel wiring or engine wiring will cause the
breaker to trip.
In
this event most engines will shut down
because the opened breaker disconnects the fuel supply.
If
this should occur, check and repair the source
of
the problem.
After repairing the fault, reset the breaker and restart the
engine.
