Starting System Components
Description
The function of the starting system is to crank the engine. The battery supplies electrical
energy to crank the starter motor. When the ignition switch is turned to “START” position,
the starter solenoid is activated and completes the starting circuit between the battery and
starter
.
The neutral start switch opens the start circuit when the shift control lever is not in neutral.
This prevents accidental starting when engine is in gear
.
The starting system consists of the following components.
1. Battery
2. Starter Solenoid
3. Neutral Safety Switch
4. Starter Motor
5. Ignition Switch
CAUTION
The starter motor may be damaged if operated continuously. DO NOT operate con-
tinuously for more than 30 seconds. Allow a 2 minute cooling period between start-
ing attempts
