Figure 22.Throttle Lever (Low Speed)

2.Insert the ignition key into the ignition switch. Turn the key to the RUN position and check to see that the Oil Pressure light turns on (lights up). If it does not come on check the lubrication oil system or check the light for defective wiring. If light does turn on, then proceed to step 2.

2.Turn the key clockwise to the PRE-HEATposition (Figure 23A) and observe the Pre-Heat Lamp. When the Pre- Heat Lamp has turned off, continue turning the ignition key clockwise to the START position (Figure 23B).When the engine starts, release the key and allow it to return to the RUN position.If engine fails to start within 10 seconds, wait 30 seconds and repeat this step.

3.Connect the load to the receptacles as shown in Figure 11. These load connection points can be found on the output terminal panel and the output terminal panel’s hard wire hookup panel.

4.Close all engine enclosure doors (Figure 21).
