Abstract
A safety system against engine overturning contains an inclination sensor for detecting an engine inclination and transmitting a signal representing the engine inclination and a self-hold device operatively connected to the inclination sensor. The self-hold device determines an inclined condition of the engine in response to the signal from the inclination sensor and transmits and holds an engine stopping signal in a case where the detected engine inclination exceeds a preliminarily set allowable inclination. The operation of the engine is stopped in response to the engine stopping signal from the self-hold device. The driving condition of the engine and a fuel pump are determined and controlled by driving condition determining device serving to drive the fuel pump when an engine speed exceeds a preliminarily set reference value while to stop the fuel pump when the engine stopping signal is transmitted from the self-hold device.
