Oil pressure switch
Devices with oil pressure switch
The oil pressure switch ensures that the en-
gine is not damaged when the device is used
in steep terrain.
The oil pressure switch switches off the engine
when damage to the engine may occur due to
lack of oil pressure. This may occur when:
– Oil level is too low.
– The device is in too steep a sloping position
while in steep terrain.
How steep the gradient for the oil pressure
switch to switch off the engine may be de-
pends on the engine type, direction of inclina-
tion, and the oil level.
In order to restart the engine, push the device
while in idle state to terrain that is less steep.
In every case, check the oil level.
