*7. Oil Pressure Gauge: This gauge is graduated in pounds per square inch (PSI) and is illuminated
while the Key Switch is turned ON. The engine's normal operating oil pressure ranges between
30 - 60 PSI.
*NOTE: When the engine is manually shut down, and the engine's Key Switch is turned OFF, the
water temperature gauge will continue to register the last temperature reading indicated by the
gauge before electrical power was turned OFF. The oil pressure gauge will fall to zero when the Key
Switch is turned OFF. The temperature gauge will once again register the engine's true temperature
once electrical power is restored to the gauge.
