B-11
Ignition switch
The ignition switch (A) starts and stops the engine; it
has three positions:
Off—Stops the engine and shuts off the
electrical system.
Run—Allows the engine to run and powers the
electrical system.
Start—Cranks the engine for starting.
Pulling the choke control (B) out closes the choke for cold
starting. (A warm engine may not require choking.)
The operator must be firmly seated and the
operator presence indicator (C) must be lit for
the engine to start.
Never leave the ignition switch in the Run position
with the engine stopped; this drains the battery.
