1. STARTING SWITCH
This switch is used to start or stop the engine.
OFF position
The key can be inserted or withdrawn. Except for the cab lamp, radio
(if fitted) and clock, the switches for the electric system are all turned off
and the engine is stopped.
ON position
Electric current flows in the charging and lamp circuits.
Keep the starting switch key at the ON position while the engine is
running.
START position
This is the engine-start position. Keep the key at this position during
cranking. Immediately after starting the engine, release the key which will
automatically return to the ON position.
HEAT (preheat) position
When starting the engine in winter, set the key to this position. When
the key is set to the HEAT position, the pre-heating monitor lights up.
Keep the key at this position until the monitor lamp goes off. Immediately
after the pre-heating monitor goes off, release the key. The key automati-
cally returns to the OFF position. Then, start the engine by turning the key
to the START position.
