6. In a situation where several engine problems occur
simultaneously, the word “MORE” appears above the
arrow buttons indicating that there are more fault codes
that need to be viewed. Use the arrow buttons to scroll
to the next active fault code.
If desired, the type of fault code, cause of error and
the countermeasures of the error can be referenced
in a separate engine operator’s manual.
7. Before the engine can be started, the engine fault must
be corrected. Also observe that there are no active
fault codes displayed on the diagnostic panel. If no
fault codes are displayed, place the diagnostic switch
in the OFF position.
