Low Oil Level Shutdown System

The engine is equipped with a low oil level
sensor that shuts down the engine automati-
cally when the oil level drops below a speci-
fied level. The engine will not run until the oil
has been filled to the proper level.
If the engine shuts down and there is sufficient
fuel, check engine oil level.
