1. Starter Switch
A three-position starter switch is used to start or stop
engine for equipment operation.
O. Turning switch to this position turns engine "OFF"
with
its electrical system. In this position engine is
"OFF" but interior cabin light and fuel tank transfer
pump (if equipped) are functional.
I. Turning switch to this position turns engine electrical
sys
tem "ON". When switch is first turned "ON" the six
indicator/warning lights across top of instrument
panel, will light for approximately two seconds. The
battery warning light and engine oil pressure warning
light should remain "ON" after the other four have
turned "OFF".
NOTE: Preh
ea
t Indicator Light - The operation of
the preheat cycle depends on coolant
temperature. When the engine coolant is
cold enough, the preheat indicator light will
remain "ON" until engine preheat cycle is
completed. The preheat cycle takes about
twenty seconds to complete, and the
indicator light will turn "OFF". When the
light turns "OFF", engage the starter.
. Moving switch to this position will crank engine.
When engine starts, release key and allow it to return
to "I" (ON)
position.
Do not operate the starter switch
for more than fifteen seconds at a time. This will help
prevent damage to starter.
