Oil Alert® System (applicable types)
''Oil Alert is a registered trademark in the United States''
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 prevent the
engine from starting.
If the engine will not start, check the engine oil level (see page 7) before
troubleshooting in other areas.
BEFORE OPERATION CHECKS
IS YOUR ENGINE READY TO GO?
For your safety, and to maximize the service life of your equipment, it is
very important to take a few moments before you operate the engine to
check its condition. Be sure to take care of any problem you find, or have
your servicing dealer correct it, before you operate the engine.
Failure to properly maintain this engine, or failing to correct
a problem before operation, could result in a significant
malfunction.
Some malfunctions can cause seriously injuries or death.
Always perform a pre-operation inspection before each
operation, and correct any problem.
Before beginning your pre-operation checks, be sure the engine is level
and the engine switch is in the OFF position.
Always check the following items before you start the engine:
Check the General Condition of the Engine
1. Before each use, look around and underneath the engine for signs of
oil or gasoline leaks.
2. Remove any excessive dirt or debris, especially around the muffler
and recoil starter.
3. Look for signs of damage.
4. Check that all shields and covers are in place, and all nuts, bolts, and
screws are tightened.
Check the Engine
1. Check the fuel level. Starting with a full tank will help to eliminate or
reduce operating interruptions for refueling.
2. Check the engine oil level (see page 7). Running the engine with a
low oil level can cause engine damage.
3. Check the air filter element (see page 8). A dirty air filter element will
restrict air flow to the carburetor, reducing engine performance.
4. Check the equipment powered by this engine.
Review the instructions provided with the equipment powered by
this engine for any precautions and procedures that should be
followed before engine startup.
