Function TestsS.L.OWThis ignition system incorporates the 5.L.0W TM warning system, which gradually limits engine speed to approximately 2500 RPM when engine temperature exceeds 240 (114 C)To resume normal operation after the 5.L.0Wwarning system has activated, the engine must cool to 20]0 (110 C) and the engine must be turned offThe 5.L.0Wwarning system depends on input from the port or starboard temperature switch tanblue leadThe 5.L.0Wwarning system is isolated from other warning horn signals by blocking diode in the engine wiring harnessTemperature Switch 1Disconnect port and starboard temperature switch tanblue leads2Install correct test propellerStart engine in test tank and run at 3500 RPM
