For safety, never pump flammable or corrosive liquids such as petrol or acid. To avoid pump
corrosion never pump sea water, chemical solutions, caustic liquids eg. used oil, wine or milk.
If the engine stops and will not restart, check the engine oil level and fuel tank level before further
troubleshooting.
Low Oil Alert System
The low oil alert system is designed to prevent engine damage caused by an insufficient amount
of oil in the crankcase. Before the oil level in the crankcase falls below a safe limit, the low oil alert
system will automatically shut down the engine, even when the engine switch is in the ON position.
If the low oil alert system shuts down the engine, check the oil level and add the recommended
engine oil.
