ENGINE CONTROLS (Items 1 through 9)
1. RUN 
STOP 
SWITCH
Toggling the switch to the RUN position energizes the fuel solenoid for approximately 30 seconds. The engine must be started within that time or the fuel solenoid will deenergize, and the switch must be toggled to reset the timer.
2. START PUSHBUTTON
Energizes the starter motor to crank the engine. With the engine "Run / Stop" switch in the "Run" position, push and hold the Start button to crank the engine; release as the engine starts. Do not press while engine is running since this can cause damage to the ring gear and/or starter motor.
