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.
