Description
The battery supplies electricity to activate the starter motor. When the ignition is turned
to the “START” position, the starter solenoid is energized and completes the starter circuit
between the battery and starter.
The neutral start switch opens the starter circuit when the shift control lever is not in neu-
tral thus preventing accidental starting when the engine is in gear.
CAUTION
The starter motor may be damaged if operated continuously. DO NOT operate
continuously for more than 30 seconds. Allow a 2 minute cooling period between
starting attempts.
