Low oil level warning activates
If the oil level is allowed to drop too low, the
red segment will appear on the oil level indi-
cator, the buzzer will sound, and engine
speed will be limited to about 2000 r/min. If
this happens, a reserve amount of oil can be
pumped from the remote oil tank to the en-
gine oil tank using the emergency switch.
WARNING
EWM01050
Be sure to stop the engine before per-
forming this procedure.
CAUTION:

●
If the emergency switch is held up too
long, too much oil will be pumped into
the engine oil tank, overflowing it. Re-
lease the switch when oil reaches the
upper level line on the engine oil tank.
●
Do not use this emergency procedure
unless the oil level warning indicators
are working.
1.
Remove the top cowling.
2.
Turn on the main switch.
3.
Lift the emergency switch to pump re-
serve oil into the engine oil tank from the
remote oil tank.
4.

mal operation. The yellow segment will
continue to be displayed on the oil level
indicator.

Start the engine and return to the near-
est port for more oil.
