Oil Alert System
The Oil Alert system is designed to prevent engine damage caused by an insufficient amount of
oil in the crankcase. Before the oil level in the crankcase can fall below a safe limit,
the Oil Alert system will automatical ly 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 (p.8).
Circuit Breaker (QAE type)
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.
High altitude operation
At high altitude, the standard carburetor air-fuel mixture will be excessive ly rich. Performance
will decrease, and fuel consumption will increase.
High altitude performance can be improved by installing a smaller diameter main fuel jet in the
carburetor and readjusting the pilot screw. If you always operate the engine at
altitudes higher than 6,000 feet above sea level, have these carburetor modifications
performed by a dealership displaying the Honda Power Equipment Engines sign.
Even with suitable carburetor jetting, engine horsepower will decrease ap proximately 3.5% for
each 1,000 foot increase in altitude. The effect of altitude on horsepower will be greater than
this if no carburetor modifica tion is made.
NOTICE
Operation of the engine at an altitude lower than the carburetor is jetted for may result in reduced perfor-
mance, overheating, and serious engine damage caused by an excessively lean air/fuel mixture.
