Safety Features

This system has several important safety features to ensure proper
operation of the motor and prevent accidental damage to the
engine or its components.

Over and Under Rev Protection

The system monitors the engine speed and will automatically shut
the engine off if the RPMs rise above or fall below the programmed
levels. This safety feature prevents damage to the motor due to
fuel delivery system failures or other problems which may cause the
engine to race.
NOTE: The system uses a wire connected to the vehicle to sense engine
speed. This wire must be connected in order for over and under rev pro-
tection to work.

Shut Down Inputs

This system uses several inputs to shut down the remote start
operation of the motor or prevent remote start if certain inputs are
active. The two most important are hood and brake inputs. The
hood input will prevent the motor from starting, as well as shut it
down, any time the hood is opened. The brake pedal will shut down
the motor at any time during remote start operation, as well as
preventing the remote start from activating while it is being
pressed.
