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 fuel solenoid will be engaged for 15 seconds and then shut down. This is to protect the battery from discharge. After 15 seconds, the Run
/Stop switch must be toggled off then on before start- ing.)
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. Start button must be depressed for a minimum of two seconds. 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
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 minutes 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.
