panel also has three fuses to protect the circuit. The three switches serve the following functions:

tive oil pressure shu1down switch until the engine's oil pressure reaches 15 psi.
2. START· The START switch energizes the starter's solenoid which cranks the engine. This switch will
not operate unless the ON switch is depressed and held at the same time.

erator comes to a complete stop.

cuit are protected by individual 8 Amp fuses. The F2 starter circuit is protected by a single 15 Amp fuse.
