Safety Features

This system has several important safety features to ensure proper

operation of the motor and prevent accidental damage to the

engine or its components.

The system monitors the engine speed and will automatically shut

the engine off if the RPMs rise above or fall below the programmed

levels. This feature prevents damage to the motor due to fuel deliv-

ery system failures or other problems which may cause the engine

to race.

NOTE: The system uses a wire connected to the vehicle to sense engine
speed. This wire must be connected in order for over and under rev pro-
tection to work.

This system uses several inputs to shut down the remote start

operation of the motor or prevent remote start if certain inputs are

active. The two most important are hood and brake inputs. The

hood input will prevent the motor from starting, as well as shut it

down, any time the hood is opened. The brake pedal will shut down

the motor at any time during remote start operation, as well as

preventing the remote start from activating while it is being

pressed.
