OIL ALERT SYSTEM
The oil alert system protects the engine from low oil damage. This system auto-
matically shuts down the engine and prevents engine restarting if the oil pressure
falls too low.
If this system shuts down the engine, the engine will not start until you add oil. The
oil alert lamp is near engine starter switch (see Figure 2, page 9). Add oil to engine
(see Engine Oil, page 12).
See engine owner’s manual for more information.
