Rear Start Switches
The rear start switches are for safety and convenience. The FRONT/REAR
switch has three positions:
1. FRONT - In this position the motorhome will only start with the ignition
key.
2. REAR - In this position the motorhome can only be started with the rear
start switch. (Note that the ignition switch must also be in the "on" posi-
tion.)
3. OFF - In this position the starter will not engage with either ignition key or
rear start switch. It will also turn the engine off if it is already running.
The START switch engages the starter when the FRONT/REAR switch is set to REAR and the
ignition switch is ON.
NOTE:
If the motorhome will not start from the front, check the rear start box to see if the
switch was bumped or accidentally set to OFF or REAR. If the motorhome still does
not start, try to start it from the rear start box.
CAUTION:
When checking or servicing the engine compartment, the Rear Start switch should be
placed in the REAR or OFF position to prevent accidental starting of the engine from
the cockpit area.
To Start From the Rear:
When starting the motorhome from the rear, confirm all tools and parts are clear of the engine and
underneath the motorhome.
• Turn ignition key to the ON position.
• Move rocker switch on the rear start box down to REAR.
• Ensure everything is clear of rotating parts.
• Hold the momentary switch to START. After the engine starts, release the switch.
• Move switch to the center OFF position, to turn the engine off.
• Check the rocker switch to confirm it is in the position desired.
• For normal operation, place the switch to FRONT.
