3.4 Oil Alert
TM
system
The GXH-50 Honda engine is equipped with an Oil Alert
TM
system that automatically turns off
the ignition when the oil level goes below a safe level. The Oil Alert
TM
system also turns off the
ignition when the winch is operating at an angle greater than 20 degrees (± 4 degrees). Make
sure that your set-up keeps the winch at a relatively horizontal level while winching and idling.
