ENGINE CONTROLS (Items 1 through 8)

1. RUN- STOP SWITCH

When placed in the “RUN” position, this switch ener- gizes the fuel solenoid and other electric accessories. When placed in the “STOP” position, the flow of fuel to the injection pump is stopped to shut down the engine. (Note: If the switch is left in the “RUN” position and the engine is not running, the battery will be drained by the fuel solenoid).

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 for a minimum of 2 seconds 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.

3. FUEL LEVEL GAUGE AND LIGHT Displays the level of diesel fuel in the 25-gallon fuel tank. The yellow light turns on when the fuel gage reaches the reserve level. Once the reserve level is reached, the engine protection system will shut down the engine after 30 minutes of operation. The machine can be restarted and operated for an additional 30 min- utes before the protection system will shut down the engine. This ability to override the engine protection is to allow the operator to “finish up” if necessary. The operator must watch the fuel level closely to prevent running out of fuel and having to bleed the system.
