1. Starter Switch
A three-position starter switch is used to start or shut
down engine for equipment operation.
O. Turning the switch to this position turns the
engine "OFF" along with its electrical system. In
this position the engine is "OFF" but the interior
cabin light and fuel tank transfer pump (if
equipped) are functional.
I. Turning the switch to this position turns the
engine electrical system "ON." When the switch is
first turned "ON" the six indicator/warning lights
across the top of the instrument panel, will light
for approximately two seconds. The battery
warning light and the engine oil pressure warning
light should remain "ON" after the other four have
turned "OFF."
NOTE: Preheat 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 the 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 the "I" (ON) position. Do not operate the
starter switch for more than fifteen seconds at a
time. This will help prevent damage to starter.
