sounding a 1/2-second beep. The gauge self-tests
by  turning  the  warning  lights  on,  then  off  in  se-
quence. During engine start-up, pause with the key
switch in the ON position to observe the horn and
gauge perform the self-test. If the self-test does not
happen as stated, see your Dealer.
If you want to continue to operate your outboard be-
fore repairs are made, check the oil tank for con-
tents and condition.
