Method of Operation

1.Normally, the diagnostic lamp will be dimly lit when the MPEC Control Switch is placed in the MANUAL position.

2.If engine trouble occurs, the diagnostic lamp will be brightly lit as long as the control switch is left in the manual position.

3.The diagnostic lamp will indicate that an engine malfunction has occurred.

NOTICE

For a complete understanding of error codes and troubleshooting procedures, refer to the enclosed engine instruction manual

NOTICE

If the engine is cranked while the diagnostic switch is in the “ON” position, the engine will not be stopped even if the starter switch is turned to the “OFF” position. In such case, turn the diagnostic switch to the “OFF” position..
