Unexpected Engine Stoppage
If the engine stops unexpectedly and all of the
SmartSwitch indicator lights flash simultaneously,
it is an indication of a nonsafety related shutdown
(example, running out of gas). The system will reset
after a few moments and return to a prestart status.
The reason for the shutdown must be identified and
corrected prior to attempting a restart (example, refuel
the unit).
