gine warning is activated, the hour meter and
error code will be displayed alternately at 3-
second intervals.

When the battery voltage is normal, the volt-
meter displays approximately 12 volts.
If the battery voltage has dropped significant-
ly, “Lo” is displayed on the voltmeter, and allother display segments of the information
display turn off. If the battery voltage has ris-
en significantly, “HI” is displayed. If “Lo” or
“HI” is displayed, immediately return to shore
