Engine Oil Alarm
The engine oil alarm is designed to alarm the user the fact that the engine oil in the
crankcase is insuffi cient. Run with insuffi cient engine oil may damage the engine. Once
oil level in the crankcase is too low , the engine oil alarm will stall the engine automati cally to
make it free of damage while the engine switch is still at "ON".
CAUTION
If the engine still fails to work, check the engine oil level fi rst before go to other check
items.
NOTE
Operating on Highlands
On highlands, the standard mixture ratio is relatively too big so the engine perfor mance
may be impaired while the fuel consumption may increase. This problem can be solved as
follows: replace the main jet of carburetor with smaller one, then, adjust the idle screw. If always
using on highlands with a height above sea level of 1830 meters, ask your dealer for doing the
job.
The engine power will decrease by about 3.5% with every 305 meters up in height, even the
proper main jet is used.
CAUTION
The engine equipped with the main jet applicable to highlands may be damaged seriously
in area below specifi ed altitude, because its mixture ratio is too thin, output drops and
the engine overheats for operation in low altitude area. In the case, ask your dealer to
recover the engine to its normal technical status.
