Low Oil Sensor System; Remove Oil Sensor; Install Oil Sensor - Briggs & Stratton 106200 Repair Manual

Low Oil Sensor System

The Low Oil Sensor System consists of:
• Oil Sensor (R) (located inside cylinder)
• Oil Sensor Module (Z)
• Mounting Bracket (Y)
If the oil level is low, the oil sensor will close. The engine
cannot be restarted until sufficient oil is added.
Identification
The Low Oil Sensor System will stop a running engine if
the oil level runs below the ADD level on the dipstick. The
engine can be restarted, but will only run briefly.
Troubleshooting
In engines equipped with a Low Oil Sensor system , if the
engine halts during operation, or will not remain running
upon starting, check oil level. if oil level is at FULL and
engine continues to halt, the module is faulty or the internal
cylinder float is sticking. See Low Oil Sensor System found
in Section 3.
