performance of the alternator.

SENDORS
The coolant temperature and oil pressure sendors are not
installed in the
44N35C
engines as standard equipment.
Both sendors are, however, included in the Admiral
Instrument Panel Kit.
These sendors (with connecting gauges) can be added as
accessories to either engine at any time and are easily
installed to the prewired engine.
LOW OIL PRESSURE ALARM SWITCH
A low oil pressure alarm switch is located off the engine's
oil gallery. This switch's sensor monitors the engine's oil
pressure. Should the engine's oil pressure fall to 5 - 10 psi
(0.4 - 0.7 kg/cm2), this switch will activate a pulsating alarm.

ENGINE CIRCUIT BREAKER
SENDOR
The DC harness on the engine is protected by an engine-
mounted manual reset circuit breaker (20 amps DC).
Excessive current draw or electrical overload anywhere in
the instrument panel wiring or engine wiring will cause the
breaker to trip. In this event most engines will shut down
because the opened breaker disconnects the fuel supply. If
this should occur, check and repair the source of the problem.
After repairing the fault, reset the breaker and restart the
engine.
