Engine exhaust contains products of combustion which may be harmful to your health. Always start and operate the engine in a well ventilated area and, if in an enclosed area, vent the exhaust to the outside. |
Note: The crank cycle and the number of crank cycles are programmable. The crank cycle is the amount of time for engagement of the starting motor. This also includes the amount of time for cooling of the starting motor between crank cycles. If the engine does not start within the number of crank cycles that are programmed, the fuel system is disabled. The "OVERCRANK" indicator will illuminate in order to warn the operator of an overcrank.
