OIL PRESSURE CAUTION SYSTEM

This system operates when the engine lubricat-
ing oil pressure drops below the correct level.
If this system activates, the red OIL lamp will
light and a buzzer will begin a series of beep. In
addition, when this system is activated at 3000
r/min. or higher, engine speed will automatically
be reduced to approximately 3000 r/min. with
REV LIMIT lamp lit.
If this system activates, stop the engine imme-
diately, if wind and water conditions make it safe
to do so.
